Costa Food Fun Challenge

Costa, the UK’s favourite coffee shop, has launched a fantastic range of spring goodies which we were sent to try.  
We were also set a challenge to come up with some food art creations using the goodies we had been sent.  A challenge it certainly was as the kids wanted to sample everything as soon as it arrived.
We were sent:
NEW Belgian Chocolate Jaffa 

A light vanilla sponge, with a zesty oozing orange curd, topped with a Belgian milk chocolate ganache and enrobed in Belgian dark chocolate

Ultimate Jammy Biscuit 

All butter shortbread biscuits with a sweet raspberry jam filling, shaped just like an old favourite!

Ginger Muffin

A ginger sponge packed with stem ginger pieces, filled with a gooey ginger syrup and topped with vanilla icing and a piece of crystallised ginger

Marshmallow Crispie Bites

Crispy rice pieces mixed with syrup, honey and melted marshmallow all enrobed in a thick layer of Belgian milk chocolate

Hot Cross Bun 

A sweet dough packed with raisins, sultanas, citrus peel and Easter spices- all in a unique Costa shape!

Easter Chocolate Crunch

Crunchy cornflake pieces, smothered in a rich Belgian milk chocolate, topped with yet more chocolate and three mini chocolate eggs

Farmyard Gingerbread 

Your favourite farmyard characters, all hand iced and made with our unique Costa gingerbread recipe.

Kian made a farm scene cleverly using Isaac’s spiderman onesie for the sky, the jammie biscuit and breadsticks as the sun and the gingerbread farm animals are busy munching on salad leaves.

Eliza added Mia, from Sofia the First, on to the Easter Chocolate Crunch to make a proper birds nest.  Isaac continued the farm theme by making a paddock with the marshmallow crispie bites and Kian took inspiration from next weeks Grand National and made a jump, complete with hedge using the chocolate jaffa.

I have to say I was most impressed with the attempt at spelling Costa using all the food we were sent.

Eliza though the ginger muffin looked a bit like a snow covered mountain from her favourite film, Frozen.  I think Olaf approves.

Isaac’s Humpty Dumpty did fall off the marshmallow crispie bites wall too!

The kids all had a great time doing their food art and the best bit was……..they got to eat it all afterwards!
