St. Patty's Day

 

I have had this in my mind for a while.. Had to make it a reality. Everything is better on a stick. I wanted to use my best tasting Dove Chef Chocolate on a cookie. And I do mean best chocolate ever! So I came up with a Peanut butter filled cookie held together with chocolate. Had no clue if it would work.. But, it did. It was a little hard to get the peanut butter mixture I use for my home made peanut butter cups to spread where I wanted it to, but I figured out if I use the back of a baby spoon, I get it just in the right spots.

 

It passed the taste test with the girls.

 

Now all nice and wrapped up pretty for delivery to my "Official Taste Tester's" :) Enjoy! I know I did.

Had to take a bite... Just to taste!!

 

Packaged up all pretty for the Birthday Girl.

 

Fairy Cake

This was my first Cupcake Cake.. I loved doing this one..

Fairy Cake

I was given two fairy's to design this cake around. I had about a month to really think about what I wanted to do. I was very excited to have pretty much free range on this one. I think I went through three different sketches before I got down what I wanted it to look like. I think I changed my mind a dozen times on what kind of flowers to use. :)

The prep. I thru in lady bugs at the last minute. I loved how they turned out. I did not want to color red fondant so I happened to have red spice drop in my candies for cakes and thought I would try it out.. Loved it.

This was the start.. I was so nervous to start it. But once I did.. there was no stopping me.

And of course I had to throw in a dragon fly!

v-day treats

I have had this chocolate for awhile, but just have not found anything to use it on.. Then I saw how to make choc. hearts on a Regis and Kelly the other day.. Thought I would try it out. Then decided they work better on sticks!

The girls picked out the sprinkle to go on top. And they got to help decorate. This is a great project for kids to help out with.

And of course they love to eat what they made!

v-day treats

The girls loved helping with these. They got to put the sprinkles on.

Valentine Cake Pops

My daughter has a Valentine Party for preschool this week so I decided to have some fun with the cake pops. Finally, I have figured out wilton's melts.. They are always so thick.. but I got the chocolate to thin down and was able to dip the tops of the cake pops much easier this time around.

I will have to make pastel ones for easter! Fun Fun. Now I just need to figure out a cute design for St. Patricks day.

Fondant Cupcakes

I decided to have some fun today with fondant. I was making cupcakes and decided to hold out a few and do some fancy ones for Valentines day for the girls.

I love being able to get out all my gadgets and play a bit when the girls are at preschool and the boy is down for a nap. I did not have a ton of time today, but I nocked out a few.

Oh.. I had so decided I need to buy a light box asap, or google on how to make one.

Valentine Cupcakes

what else.. I had to do one with a dragonfly on it! :)

Rose Cupcakes

I love working with pixie dust.
