Isn’t he just so dang cute?! I love his facial expressions. Do young kids even know who Pinocchio is? I sure hope so, otherwise this is going to be a total fail. These would be adorable to have at a birthday party. In fact, I’m going to make sure my kids see every classic Disney movie. Have [Read more >>]
Can I tell you the truth about my relationship with peanut butter!? I love peanut butter on apples. However, I’m not the biggest fan of peanut butter cookies (I know, I’m crazy). Plus, I’m totally picky about the brand of peanut butter I use - if it’s with apples, has to be Mara Natha. But please, if [Read more >>]
I would like to start things off with a little humor… Funny Cake Ball Incident HERE Can you guess what my favorite line in her story was!? Moving onward to more important things, like Sesame Street and cake pops. Bakerella originally created a really cute set of these characters for the 40th Anniversary of Sesame Street… I took [Read more >>]
You may remember back in March I had a huge cake ball project. HUGE, as in 2000+ cake balls! That’s roughly 55 regular sized cakes (9×13″ pans). Or about 12 full sheet cakes! Plus a whole lotta frosting. Not to mention about 66 POUNDS of CANDIQUIK! Holy moly. These cake bites fed the guests that attended the 2012 Taste of [Read more >>]
Why do I do this to myself? I eat completely weird combinations of food that should not be seen together!!! I promise – I know how to cook, but I’m notoriously known for eating strange off-the-wall dinners. I’m busy. I’m not married. I do not have kids. I’m hungry. Therefore, it happens. Example 1: Monday’s dinner consisted of buffalo [Read more >>]
A few things I’m loving right now: My new Kitchen Aid mixer that I got for $130 off! Meyer Lemons – if you haven’t, you need to. These cake bites! I’ve been so excited to show you these… I have been waiting since January to use these little sour candy things (aka rainbows) I found at Target in the dollar section. [Read more >>]
Have you made cake pops and they were a complete disaster? Yeah, me too. Seriously. We’ve all burned the heck out of our chocolate, lost a cake ball off the stick, had our beautiful cake pops crack 5 minutes later, or had them leak weird stuff everywhere! It’s sooo frustrating! Don’t worry though, it gets better! But let me save [Read more >>]
I decided to name these ‘Love Bites’ for one reason and one reason only. They can be called Love Bites as in, a small delectable treat made with love. Or Love Bites as in, love blows, stinks, sucks, etc. And I find this sorta funny. Sorta? Well, especially for you anti-valentine’s people. I happen to love [Read more >>]
I made these last year for Valentine’s Day and decided they needed a post of their own. They are so dang cute and although I made them for Valentine’s – they are universal and customizable. Here I had thought that I had came up with an awesome, original idea (if there is such a thing)! [Read more >>]
I really hope you have all of your holiday shopping done. Because I just went to Target. It felt like my Black Friday (that I somehow was convinced to participate in) nightmare all over again. Never again. Maybe it’s that I get overwhelmed with swarms of people, feel claustrophobic when waiting in line and can’t [Read more >>]
