fancy schmancy pancakes

I was blog-hopping and came across Jim’s Pancake blog.  He is a cool dad making cool pancakes for his kids.  Here are some of his creations…

Awesome huh?  So, I decided to brighten up the lil’ missy’s day by making some fun and fancy pancakes like Jim yesterday.  I don’t have any vanilla essense to create coloured pancakes so I decided to use some sprinkles.   These are my creations……

As you can see, I have failed miserably 🙁  It is really not as easy as it seems.  I need to get better cooking tools in order to make some fancy schmancy pancakes.   Thank God Ashley could recognize the shapes of the pancakes I made and she was pretty happy to see them.  She even gave me a hug and said “Thank You Mommy“….hehehehehee.  Check out Jim’s Pancakes and take a look at his beautiful creations when you have the time.  They are so cool!
