Love this recipe and this idea. It came out great. I would have given it 5 stars if the moose was just a little stiffer and held up to better piping. It almost wasn’t worth putting in the piping bag. However my hubby was impressed. Thanks for the recipe

Hello Nicole, I am just happy to hear you liked the recipe, I think I will rewrite recipe, you are certainly right it is not stiff.
