A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion Hobbies, Crafts and Creativity The Bird Lovers Forum How do you make Suet food?

I bought a suet feeder and suet. The squirelles and birds ate it rather quick and I thought it would be fun for my 4 year old, 16 month old and I to make them together, but I don't know how or what all to put in it. I am going to town tomorrow and would like to get the ingredients and make them this weekend. Hope someone knows how to TIA

Where's Cindy Lou's Ree-sipe fer suet? Who's got it?

Suet is basically Solid white animal lard melted down, along with crunchy peanut butter, bird seed, old bread crumbs and then poured into cage size and shaped molds and put in the freezer to harden.. When you need one, just pop it out of the freezer and into the cage. I just buy mine. My wife can't stand for me to make a mess.

here it is,,,
Cindy's suet cakes

check out dodge posts where she shows her suet cakes. They're pretty.

Thanks so much! I am going to check them out now. I have a deep freezer so I could make a bunch at once with them.
