hawaiian shirt topped brownies....!

hawaiian shirt brownies

....aren't these super fun??...i'm kinda tired of all the father's day tie stuff....and even though the 41 year old kid here does wear ties on some work days....it's usually not his garb of choice.....and doesn't a hawaiian shirt usually make you smile....?

...these are made from a combo of candy melt and royal icing (which i had left over from another project...it makes me so happy to use up stuff instread of wasting it...!)....printed out some shirt shapes from google images....then outline in candy melt (you could do this in royal icing too...but i didn't have the real thick royal icing made for good outlines and i was too lazy t make some....)...once the candy melt is dry, fill in with the royal icing...

....you may need to spread to the corners with a toothpick or butter knife.....


....you can add two colors to do the 2 tone effect....while the icing is wet use a toothpick to swirl some colors together a bit....

....once the shirt colors are dry...add decorations with candy melt (again you can use royal icing for this as well, but it needs to be stiffer than the royal icing used to fill in the shirt...)....you can get some shirt ideas from google images as well....or check the hubby's closet and try to make a shirt he already has...!

.... i figure all dad's love brownies...so these are just put on top of some boxed brownie mix and to make the shirts stick....frosted the brownies in some vanilla buttercream mixed with some store bought fudge frosting...

...and you get some cool hawaiian shirt topped frosted brownies for father's day...!


......yum!....


....happy father's day to all the awesome dad's out there....you rock.....and thank you for stopping by this neck of the woods....

p.s. dad if you are reading this, pretend to be surprised tomorrow...!
