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!

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.

Strawberry Shortcake Cake

My daughter just turned three and this was the cake I made for her. I have to admit. I really love this cake.. I think the more I make and work with fondant the more fun I have.

This time half of the cake is made with the Marshmellow fondant I made. I usually just by fondant, mainly because it is easier and the only time I tried to make it , it was a huge mess in my kitchen. So I decided to do it a little diffenently this time (in my mixer) and it worked out well. Tatses so much better.

What will I do next. ??
