Froggies in The Fridge

We left with 73 little froggies and came home with zero. I guess the little Sparks and T and T's really liked them!

Operation: Cake Pops

I got a Babycakes cake pop maker for Christmas.. I was debating weather to keep this or not, because I had rather wanted a donut version.That just popped up red for spell-check. Is that not how you spell donut? Anyway, we decided to give it a try last night.

Cake pops are traditionally make by crumbling cake and mixing in frosting, dipped in candy melts or almond bark . They have been all the rage- trendy and are  cute and creative. Google them. So cute! The kit that I received came with recipes, so we went with vanilla. After a trip to Michael's for foam blocks, candy melts, and New Year's sprinkles, we were ready to go.

We piped (put the batter into a decorating bag) the batter in the pop maker because if we had used a spoon, it would have been an absolute mess. We cook the pops for 6 minutes, then pull them out with an included prong tool. Let me just say that I think the recipe batter was the best batter I've ever had!

The first batch.

"Say blog post!"

The dipping/decorating station

Dip the Lollipop stick in the melted candy melts. (We melted ours in a miniature Crock-Pot) Stick the lollipop stick in the pop and dip the pop in the candy melt. make sure that you get most of the drip off, but naturally , that is hard to do.

Drippings- I thought they were rather unique.

The finished project. Don't worry , this isn't all, some are in the fridge.

Can I have some too?

Stuff

Well, ya she's home. I've just been reaallly lazy lately. I think it's the heat. Maybe it gets to your brain. She brought home Swiss chocolate, which is good, but tastes a little odd. Many people ask me now that she is back," I bet you missed your sister" and we both kinda grin at each other. We both know it was a mini vacation away from each other... hahaha. I finished my tote bag yesterday for JoAnn Fabrics sewing classes. its is really nice because the teacher walks you through everything, even if you are a beginner like me. A very beginner like me. But hey,  it  turned out pretty cute! I still need to add the magnetic snaps to the tabs and add cherry roses to the front, but it felt good to get it done. I apologize for my grammar if anythings not right. It is late.
