Getting ready for Easter

Easter morning is huge at Grandma’s house.  Over 100 people come to a big brunch and egg hunt.  Guess who’s doing the baking!

I felt the need to practice a bit before the big baking days.  Here are my chick cake pops!  I got the idea from bakerella.com

These little guys are just cake balls…no pops. I’m glad this is just practice, haha!

For a more classy look, these are the same on the inside, but dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with nuts.

To make cake balls, just get a cake mix from the store, follow the directions on the box for baking and then let it cool.  Once cooled all the way through, break it apart and mix it together with 16oz of icing. Form into balls and put in the refrigerator to chill. If you want cake pops, add the stick before putting in the fridge. Once chilled, dip in chocolate and Viola!  Again, this idea was found on www.bakerella.com.  Yum Yum!

Cake Pops!

I love cake pops.

They are even better than cake.

And cake balls are delicious, too.  These are cake pops…without the stick.

Cupcakes!

It’s been so long since a post…but I have a legitimate excuse.  I’m engaged!  More on that later.  I must show an adorable cupcake pin cushion my friend of a kindred heart helped me make.

How adorable is that!  A little background knowledge…my puppy, Mollie, ate my last cushion…

Yes, really…those are pins in the bottom left of her X-Ray.

She was one sick puppy.  But now she’s a few months wiser…a few months more mature…

Wait…

Uh oh…

Okay, this might be a problem…
