Catch Me If You Can

Mandy’s leprechaun challenge over at Gourmet Mom on-the-Go inspired our St. Patty’s Day fun today.

After the leprechauns had turned our breakfast and our lunch green we knew that something had to be done. We set a trap with a magically delicious treat.

The sneaky little rascals escaped, but left behind a treasure hunt as compensation.

After drinking a bit of leprechaunized milk the treasure hunt continued.

The leprechaun let me in on a few of his secrets. Shhh … don’t tell him I told.

• The “pot of gold” was inspired by Erin over at The Sister’s Cafe. Who knew leprechauns were bloggers.
• The “rainbow” is a rainbow sherbet/angel food cake.  I, uh, he layered slightly softened sherbet and cubed angel food cake in half of a spring form pan. After letting it set up in the freezer for a bit he stood it up and frosted it with Cool Whip.
• The rainbow decoration was created with Fruit by the Foot.
• The clues were created with the Happy-Go-Lucky kit from Shabby Princess.
• And the likeness of Mr. Leprechaun himself is courtesy of Gourmet Mom on-the-go.
