Mother's Day Card on a Plate

Combine a card and edible craft project in one with this easy recipe that literally says “I love Mom.”
 

A package of refrigerated crescent rolls, some cinnamon sugar and a strawberry can be transformed into the perfect edible message to Mom. Tear off pieces of dough and let the kids roll it into a rope. Use the crescent roll ropes to form letters that spell “I” and “Mom.” Let an adult take over and carve half of a strawberry into a heart. Place the baked letters on a plate that spells out “I love Mom” with the heart-shaped berry replacing the word love.
