While I search for healthy cake ideas for a child who isn't strictly speaking allowed to eat cake just yet, I have come across these delightful candy platters from
www.bonbonsconnexion.com . All the old sugary favorites of my young childhood: the coke bottles, the Swedish fish, the gummi bears and their gummi cousins, the worms... I would save my allowance and buy them by the scads at Buttercup, we sticky-fingered kids digging into our sweet bags of booty under the bridge in Creek Park.

(This was before I discovered Mrs. Grossman's stickers and the
Sweet Valley High novels that forever burned into my brain thoughts on wearing a watch, when the party starts, and what constitutes a "perfect" sized figure - hint: it's a lot smaller than mine, and significantly larger than the
zeros I see in every Gap and Banana Republic in the universe).

Sweet, sweet party platters. Will they go with my tamales and lemonade party theme?
