Cake Pops!!!

Hello!  It's Katherine, here.  Just wanted to share with you our newest baking obsession...cake pops!!  As mentioned in a previous post, we have been really into reading Bakerella's blog lately.  She just came out with a book all about cake pops and it is awesome!!  Gwen actually surprised me with a copy for an early birthday present, and I can't wait to try out all of the cute designs! 

Here are some pictures from my very first attempt with cake pops!



I know it seems impossible, but these little guys taste even better than they look.  ;)



My husband is always excited when he comes home and sees that I've done a bunch of baking, but I knew he'd be extra excited when he saw these little footballs.  I think these would be so cute at a game-watching party...maybe tying ribbons in your team's colors on the stick or around the treat bag if they are individually wrapped!


Cute smiley faces.  :)


If you want to get started making your own cake pops, click here and scroll down to the bottom of Bakerella's post titled "It's shipping" to find a link to her video tutorial.

After I tried my hand with the pops, I decided to venture over to Bakerella's cupcake bites.  They are so adorable and super easy (I think even easier than the cake pops). 


Here is the link to directions for the cupcake bites.  Hope you have as much fun making these as I did!!  Now that I have my new Cake Pops book, be prepared for some more picture posts in the future.  :)

Thanksgiving Turkey Treats

Check out these turkey treats that Gwen made for Thanksgiving...

The heads are made out of Whoppers, the nose is the white tip of the candy corn, the eyes are piped with white and black icing. The turkeys' bodies are made with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups atop an Oreo, and the feathers are made out of a second Oreo and of course - candy corn.

Halloween fun!


We made these (not so spooky) marshmallow and pretzel treats for a Halloween party that we threw.
