Children are notorious for leaving their toothbrushes all over the bathroom. If they don’t have a specific place to put it, they cast them down without any thought of germs or hygiene. The Gel Toothbrush Holder works to solve many toothbrush holder issues as well as serving as a cute bathroom accessory. Not only is it quite attractive, it conveniently sticks to mirrors, tile or glass. This keeps it clean and out of the way, giving more counter space. A great gift for younger children or teens. Who says getting kids to brush their teeth isn’t fun? They will love to use the Gel Toothbrush Holder. Read more »

What little child does not love Curious George? The next time you are invited to birthday party or you want to make something special for your little one, why not give a cake. Cakes are always known for “get well soon” occasions or welcome gifts.
Here is one specially made for kids. The Curious George cake is a fun and creative gift that is sure to get screams and smiles of joy out of the little ones.
What you’ll need:
- knife
- rubber spatula
- muffin pan and cupcake papers
- chocolate cake mix
- well greased oven safe glass bowl, preferably 2 quarts
- wire baking rack
- caramel frosting
- 2 doublestuffed oreo cookies (minis if you can find them)
- small amount of red icing and black icing
Now you have all your ingredients, let’s get cooking.
- Follow directions for mixing cake
- Pour 2/3 of batter into the greased glass bowl
- Use remaining to fill up the 3 muffins (3/4 full, each)
- Put cake and cupcakes in oven and bake until done (cupcakes will cook faster than cake)
- Once finished, allow to cool completely on the wire racks
Eveything must be completely cooled so that the frosting won’t get crumbs in it. Ok, everything is cooked and cooled. Let’s make us a Curious George!
Face
- Use the caramel frosting to make the face shape as shown in the picture. Like a large 8 for the upper and the bottom is simple. Make sure to come all the way to the bottom of the cake.
- Get the frosting as smooth as possible using the spatula.
Ears
- Put frosting on one cupcake using the caramel frosting
- Cut the cupcake vertically in half
- Put each half onto the side of the head using frosting to secure it
Eyes
- Take the Oreos apart
- Flatten out the creme into circular shapes and place accordingly on the face
- Use the oreo cookie part for the pupil
- Draw eyebrows using the black frosting
Nose
- Use the black icing to draw the nose and the nostrils as pictured
Mouth
- Using the black frosting, draw a shallow “U” about 1 1/2 inches below the nose
- Draw the bottom of the mouth, make sure to connect it to the top and leave room for the tongue
- For the tongue, use the red icing and make the tongue
Now you have yourself a pretty nice adorable Curious George. Plate it and it’s ready for any child!! You can box it up or leave it as is.
