Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked ham, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped fresh broccoli
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 (8 ounce) cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine ham, broccoli, onion, parsley, mustard and cheese. Stir well.
  3. Unroll crescent roll dough, and arrange flat on a medium baking sheet. Pinch together perforations to form a single sheet of dough. Using a knife or scissors, cut 1 inch wide strips in towards the center, starting on the long sides. There should be a solid strip about 3 inches wide down the center, with the cut strips forming a fringe down each side. Spread the filling along the center strip. Fold the side strips over filling, alternating strips from each side. Pinch or twist to seal.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until deep golden brown.

Toy Story Cake





My son wanted a Buzz Lightyear cake for his birthday, but we ended up doing a huge toy story cake with all his favorite characters. This cake was so much fun to make! I combined some ideas from different cakes I saw online. This was my first time using fondant, but I was quite pleased with the outcome. The bottom layer is a 12-inch pan, the middle layer is an 8-inch pan and the top layer was molded to a round bowl after it was cooked to get the right shape. For the moon I marblized it by coloring the fondant my base color and then added some streaks of color and didn't knead it completely in. I used Wilton's tappits for the lettering. The fence design was done with toothpicks.
