You don't need cream, just butter/jam/honey/goldensyrup.

Your little girl can make them into shapes.As children, we used to make pikelet letters of the alphabet, circles, triangles etc

You can make a good teddy bear pikelet too - a blob for the tummy, then four little blobs around the edge for limbs and then a head blob.When you turn them over to cook the other side, they are quite cute.Bunny pikelets too...

Bumping with the newest recipe that my daughter loves
Edmonds Afghans

200g butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 & 1/4 cups flour
1/4 cup cocoa
2 cups cornflakes

Icing

2 cups icing sugar
2 tbs cocoa
1/4 tsp butter
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
2 tbs boiling water, approximately
walnuts for topping, optional

Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Sift flour and cocoa. Stir into creamed mixture. Fold in cornflakes. Spoon mounds of mixture onto a greased oven tray, gently pressing the mixture together. Bake for 15 minutes or until set. When cold ice with chocolate icing.

To make the chocolate icing, sift icing sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Add butter and essence. Add sufficient boiling water to mix to a spreadable consistency. Decorate with a walnut if desired.
