New Cake Pop

My testers say this is the best yet. I should say the testers that like coconut say it's the best. If you don't like coconut your out on this one. I did have one tester say he would like all the little pieces of paper taken off before testing. But he's 4.

These are coconut cake from scratch, vanilla buttercream from scratch dipped in chocolate from the store and sprinkled with toasted coconut (little pieces of paper). I love this cake. Next time I'm doing these dipped in white chocolate.

I've also been working on football yummies for football season. I know I won't have much time once August hits and school starts. Fall is always so busy around here. I haven't had many orders and I'm really enjoying just playing in the kitchen. It's a nice refresher. Nice, but I'm going to need some orders soon to pay for these experiments.

Jumping cake pops

My sweet little cake pops were giving me such a hard time yesterday. They kept jumping off the sticks. Couldn't convince them to hang on. But look how nice cake pops can be when they ditch the stick. Pretend they are in a lovely tin instead of Gladware. I'm thinking they should always be stickless.

Princess Cookies

Weston had 2 birthday parties today. It's hard to keep up with the social calendar of a 4 year old. I made these for Princess Sophie's gift basket. Wes picked the colors and did the sprinkles for me.

I made some cake balls in matching colors.

Then I a few little toys and put it all together for her gift. Hopefully her mom is taking my advice and enjoying the cake balls with some white wine right about now.

Tomorrow will be Liam's Surfer cookies...

Cake Pops

I really wish I could claim this as my own idea. Guess I could but then I would have to explain how to do it. So out of laziness and a mild case of morals, check out www.bakerella.com. Basically it's squished up cake mixed with frosting then formed into cupcakes (need to work on this part) then dipped in chocolate. I used red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. I then shared them with my neighbor without mentioning what type of cake I used. She's allergic to red velvet. Fortunately she realized it immediately and no 911 call was made. Everyone else said they were delish and I have to agree.

Here they are all dressed up and ready to go out for the allergy test.
