Sing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie.
When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,
Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?
The king was in his counting house counting out his money,
The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,
When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!
But, I'm not too sure about the Blackbirds Tammy - maybe have to be poussin?
Regards,
Dawn.

Lemony Snickett "A series of unfortunate events" - Puttanesca
Molly Moon - an orphan who arrived in a marshmallow box
Harry Potter - weird and wonderful sweets on the Hogwarts Express
Pippi Longstocking - used to serve up wonderful feasts
Rattatouille!
Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe - Turkish Delight
Didn't Charlie Brown have a pumpkin pie thingy one Halloween?

There is quite a bit of food in the Roald Dahl books. My son once got a Roald Dahl recipe book from the library. I can't remember all of them but in 'James and the Giant Peach' there was Hot Noodles made from Poodles on a slice of Garden Hose and A Rather Smelly Jelly made of Armadillo's Toes. More appealing may be Wonka's Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow delight from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. Other things I have thought of are:
Jumbles from 'What Katy Did'
Cut-and-Come-Again Cake from 'The Faraway Tree'

Are you permitted to make something up?
Such as... and seeing it's Christmas..
Something to incorporate the Advent calendar.. A story.
About.. thinking on my trotters here.. Somehow you have to make up a story though for it to work and introduce your recipes as you go along.
Example off top of my wined head.. an Advent Calendar in a school. Twelve children..Each child has to choose a day between 1-12 drawn from lucky chocolate, raspberry cream coated cheese straws. This is their starting point. Maybe yours. Behind each shutter/day is a treat or a threat. The treat has to be physically made for the child to move on to the next hurdle...Invisage hurdles made of marshmellows, crumbed with nuts and poached in golden honey.
As Advent calendars are usually sweet treats you could perhaps make a different choc, sweet treat for each day each child opens. Plus, a bitter surprise (a braying goat being fed a silverbeet pie with pickled worthog buds) every so often for the unwary.
But, the way isn't that simple. there are greedy little bellies in this lot who steal from the others and substitute chewed off pieces of rusks or something childish..oh.. um.. rock cakes would be good (ghastly things).. dunked in molten mud.. these nasty types end up being soooo fat and filled with their own self importance, that they fly off to the moon where they must begin a new life and eat Mars Bars deep fried in ice cream, forever more and then have a complete reversal of faith and become vegetarians or join a roast beef and raisin club or something..
I think you could make up a really neat story line of your own along lines of something that appeals to you instead of making use of someone elses ideas or even my silly stuff.. I truly think you have the ability to do something superb once you know which road /story line to take.
