Oh, Mickey, You're So Fine!

Today I finished an order of 50 Mickey Mouse cake truffles.To say these were quite a task, is an understatement. The first one I made was great, Then my perfectionism kicked in when I completed the second truffle. My husband, Matthew, had to keep convincing me why not to start over... *sigh*

but...

They turned out to be pretty darn cute! To see the kids' faces light up while they indulge in a Mickey Mouse cake truffle would be a better treat than these. Especially when they are celebrating a little boy's birthday at Party ExtraordinAIR! Places like that make me want to babysit for legitimate admission.

Thinking about it... I have never even seen an episode of the Mickey Mouse Club. Am I still considered an American?



It's Friday!

Being a full-time business major, a balance between all-that-is-good and school is essential to my sanity. After trying to cram more information into my already over-flowing brain, I just had to stop. So guess what I ended up doing...

Forty cake truffles were made, but only about 30 made it to the basket.. They just kept making their way into my tummy. These St. Patrick's Day pops are going into Crown Camera. My Uncle Frank offered to sell cake truffles at his camera and photofinishing store. I'm so excited! I can't wait for the world to indulge in these little pieces of glorious heaven-on-a-stick!

Back to homework.

Beautiful Bride

Today I had the privilege of making pops for my cousin's bridal shower. Their wedding colors are purple, black, and silver, which made for fun decorating. My cousin, AJ, is marrying this beautiful woman of God named Meredith. Because she is not the biggest chocolate fan (yea, I about stopped breathing myself), I made a light flavored pop with french vanilla cake and cream cheese. These were so fun to make! But then again, which Heavenly Treats aren't?

*Light Bulb*

God makes me smile. You never know what he has up his sleeve. One minute you're minding your own business, and the next you have this thing dropped in your lap! All it took was a trip to the baking section of a book store this past December. Well... I have found a new passion: cake on a stick. Once you take a bite, you can never go back.

Earlier this week I made some Valentine goodness. It started out with an experiment of Red Velvet cake, cream cheese, and melted white chocolate chips. They were rolled into a ball, dipped in white chocolate and covered in festive sprinkles. Oh. boy.

A picture was posted on my Facebook so my family could come over and pick up some of this heaven-on-a-stick. They didn't last long. Another batch was made for my Aunt Dannette for her cute son, Kyle, to take to his class' Valentine's Day party, and my Auntie Robin to gift to her good friend. These were a hit. If only I had started making them sooner to accommodate every one's tummy for the 14th.
