Double Meaning Snack Making: Holidays and More Scrapbooking Occasions
The double hearts of the world are made for holidays such as Valentine’s Day; this is a party that blends mystery, romance and leaves room for a bit of mischievous sass. What may surprise some is that the tame scope of rhymes and limericks of double entendre aren’t exactly rare or non-existent. And these, too, can move to center stage and occupy the spaces where controversy isn’t needed: spaces where children can participate in handing out gifts to parents, to teachers, and to watch the relatively harmless exchanges between the adults in their lives. Some of those stress-free gifts may include edible treats that provide the second half of the double meaning attached to these Valentine’s gifts.
And, thankfully, none of these exchanges will require complex, nervous, and awkward explanations for curious children who already understand a bit of the underlying gist of the words on TV and the words exchanged between adults in front of them.
Choosing to combine objects with secondary meaning and phrases allows one to escape all this drama while attracting positive qualities back. It is the responsiveness and interest that can make this option very rewarding among romantic partners themselves. Three responses you may run into are fun, unusual curiosity, and welcome gratitude. In general, people are likely to be pleased with something new and different. So whether you opt to make edible crafts or another holiday gift decision, that fact may be something to keep in mind for the best possible surprise.
Edible treats with double meanings
These edible treats are based on phrases of love and can be the perfect opportunity to combine cute, quirky and sentimental. An example of this unique combination is the simple but effective method of combining a craft or real apple with the phrase “you are the apple of my eye”. A second example of this combination comes with the phrase “crazy about you.”
An easy way to apply this concept to an edible delicacy is to use the most difficult part of the phrase to replicate, high heels, in a photograph using pastry chef techniques to achieve the image of heels. In addition, the craftsman can apply a handcrafted three-dimensional head, reminiscent of a small Mr. Potato head, and place it on the heels while he adds the phrase below or leaves the meaning open to interpretation from the symbols alone.
Other phrases to consider using with this option include the following:
1. I’m crazy about you.
2. You are a smart cookie.
3. You are the one.
By including a three-dimensional version of the noun in the above sentences and combining this with a love note that makes the figurative literal, you can experience the effect of nurturing and surprising that special someone with unexpected cuteness.
