It's Been Awhile

It's been awhile since I have posted a blog but that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy crafting and baking!  So I am going to post some of the past crafts and treats I have made over the past year! I hope everyone likes some of the ideas and gets some ideas for themselves as well! Pin It

Popcorn Cake Pops

My other son's teacher LOVES cake pops so I decided to make her popcorn cake pops for her end of the school year teacher gift.  I made chocolate cake pops and dipped them in melted white chocolate with a few drops of yellow chocolate to give it a light yellow ( butter) look.  I found the container at the dollar tree and placed a styrofoam block at the bottom of the container to hold the cake pops in place.  When the chocolate dried I tied a red ribbon around them and put some yellow and white gift wrap stuff at the bottom so you couldn't see the styrofoam.

End of the year Teacher Gifts

I made these for my son's teacher as a summer gift..... First I found these cute beach towels in orange and yellow.  Then I found the containers at Target ( in the dollar section)  I found the cups at Home Goods ( I love that store) and I filled them up with country time lemonade to go and I topped it off with a Tropical Smoothie gift card.  I hope they enjoy the summer it's been a great year!!!

Soccer Ball Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for a soccer birthday party.  I made white and chocolate cupcakes and the same with the frosting.  After I frosted the cupcakes I placed a chocolate soccer ball on top.  I got the chocolate mold from michael's and painted the different colored chocolate into the mold.

Flower Cupcakes

I found this idea: Flower Cupcakes, on the Martha Stewart show and thought it was so cute and what a perfect time of year to make them SPRING!!!  First I made the cupcakes and frosted them...after that I unwrapped the suckers and tied a green ribbon around each one and placed them in the middle of the cupcake and that's it! Cute and Simple!

Kit-Kat Bar Birthday Cake

I saw this cute birthday cake idea online and thought it would be perfect for my co-worker because he loves kit kats.  So I made 2- 8"round white cakes and stacked them.  Once they were cool I put a crumb coat of frosting in the middle, on the sides and top and placed it in the freezer for 20 mins to setup.  After that I used about 60 snack size kit kats and placed they all around the sides of the cake and tied a blue ribbon around it for two reasons, one it gave it some color and second I had to travel so this way it helped keep the kit kats from falling off.
