![]() He no longer felt quite so tired and cold. Little Panda walked back to the cave entrance. He hugged the kindly gnome and waved goodbye to all the others. “Oh thank you, thank you!” said Little Panda. “Now you will be able to find your way home, Little Panda,” he said. ![]() The kindly gnome threaded the three crystals on to a piece of string and tied the string around Little Panda’s neck. The blue crystal will give you strength, no matter how far you walk.Īnd the white crystal will show you the way home, no matter how far you travel.” “The red crystal will keep you warm, no matter how cold it gets. The gnome picked up three crystals from the neat piles on the cavern floor and held them out to Little Panda. So the monks use these crystals to help the travelers.” Their feet are sore and their legs weary from climbing, and they have a long journey home. By the time they arrive, they are tired and cold. So the gnome explained, “Many travelers climb this mountain to visit the monks. We are the gnomes who mine the magic crystals for the monks in the monastery on top of the mountain.” He set his hammer down and gave Little Panda a hug. “There, there,” said one of the little people. I found this cave and came inside because I’m tired and cold and I don’t know where I am and I miss my mommy!” He began to cry. Suddenly, all the little people stopped their work and turned to look at him. He pushed through the crevice and into the cavern. Little Panda was so surprised, he forgot to be afraid. Strange little people wearing pointy hats climbed over the walls and ceilings, breaking off the crystals with tiny metal hammers. There was an enormous cavern covered with blue, red, and white glowing crystals. He peeked through the crevice and was amazed by what he saw. He saw a strange glow coming from a crevice in the wall. Soon, Little Panda noticed that it was getting lighter, not darker, the further into the cave he went. As he went deeper into the cave, the noise grew louder. LIttle Panda was curious and he headed towards the back of the cave to investigate. But soon he was awakened by a strange noise coming from deep within the cave. Little Panda was very tired and quickly fell asleep. He said to himself, “When the storm is over, maybe I’ll be able to find my way back home.” Little Panda hurried into the cave and curled up inside. Just then, he saw the entrance to a cave through the snow. The snow fell faster, and soon Little Panda realized that he was indeed lost. The snow grew so heavy so quickly that Little Panda didn’t even notice when he went the wrong way and walked right by the three pine trees and out into deep, dark forest. But one day, while he was playing in the forest, it began to snow. Little Panda did not want to get lost, so he tried to do as his mother told him. His mother told him, “Little Panda, you may go as far as those three big pine trees, but no further. You could also just pipe frosting on for eyes if you want to skip the pin and sprinkles.Little Panda lived with his family in a huge forest, high in the mountains of China. Use a black edible ink pen to draw on white confetti sprinkles for dotted eyes and then attach them to the chips with a tiny bit of frosting to hold them in place. If you want to add mouths, try black or chocolate jimmies and press them into the frosting. I used Ghiradelli dark chocolate chips because they are a little larger in diameter and were better for panda proportions.Īnd the great thing about covering them in sanding sugar first, is that you can easily reshape the face if necessary without getting frosting all over your fingers. Then press two chips pointed side down into the frosting to start on the eyes and two more in position for the ears. Insert a chocolate chip sideways and towards the bottom for a nose. And when you do, the frosting will spread out and cover most of the top. You don’t need to cover the cupcake completely.īecause you will be pressing it into a bowl of sanding sugar to cover all the frosting. Use a decorator bag with Ateco Tip #807 and you can whiz right through this part. It’s hard to tell in this picture I know.īut because the cupcakes were mini, I was able to use chocolate chips to dress them up as sweet little pandas.Ĭhocolate chip covered pandas that are super easy to make.įirst frost your cupcakes.
