Recipe for Birdseed Cakes - Suet Feeders
This is a very, very easy recipe for winter birdseed cakes that can be placed out flat for bird feeding or hung inside those familiar green-wire cages.
The wonderful thing about this recipe is that there is no need to measure! Six cakes cost about $1.00 to make - so the birds not only get a healthy, tasty cake, you'll save a lot of money in the process while making them happy.
Birdseed Cake Recipe: Melt the following ingredients in a large microwave-safe bowl: lard or shortening, peanut butter, bit of white syrup.
Remove and quickly add any of the following until mixture doesn't stir easily: sunflower seeds, cracked corn, birdseed, raisins, dried fruits, nuts, oats and flaxseed.
Line a plastic sandwich container with plastic wrap and spoon mixture into the 'mold'. Since the mixture sets up quickly once the shortening begins to cool, I use several sandwich containers and pop each into the freezer for just a few minutes before unmolding for easier handling.
I also keep an eye out for store specials on the items that I use for my cakes. Shortening, peanut butter and syrup can easily be obtained for a $1.00 in many stores in our area.
A large can of shortening makes about 3 batches of the birdseed cake recipe - as does a small jar of peanut butter. A small bottle of syrup will produce about 10 batches or 60 winter birdseed cakes.
We also purchase a lot of birdseed so my seed mixture is garnered from our supply at hand.
I hope that you have fun making these tasty treats for the birds in your area!

" This demonic little hooligan was window peeping into the honeymoon cottages! God only knows what she saw, but she seemed quite satisfied," he went on, his eyes scorching over Lynx's shocked face. click to read
