Holy Cake Pops Batman!
I thought I would try my hand at cake pops the other day since I was going to be entertaining a new play group I organized. I figured hey...just mix em up, roll em out, and stick the sticks in. Easy peasy. WRONG! O my gosh I was so wrong! First off I am 100 percent sure I made them entirely too large. They kept falling off the dang sticks. Actually I am pretty sure that was my whole issue. They were pretty darn tasty and I got hella compliments on them! They were just not very pretty. I am all about presentation too so that kind of ruined it for me.
Here are the hideous things...
Ugh my gosh that is embarrassing!
Yikes!
So that was that and I swear I am going to get around to baking those dang Cookies and Cream cupcakes! I guess I just haven't been in a baking mood. Booooo on me!
Hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for reading!

Ima Slacker
I have been such a slacker this week! I don't know if its the weather we are having or what. So this week, probably tonight I am going to make some Oreo dreams. I also have a play group meeting I am hosting this week and decided to do Cupcake pops! They just look like so much fun to make! I am pretty excited!
Sorry this post was a bust! Thanks for reading!

Irish Cream Dreams!
After my last cupcake disaster I was having a hard time getting the ball rolling again! It was a huge blow to the ego! Tonight went a million times better! I couldn't have picked a better recipe! I made Irish Creams with home made whipped topping.....they turned out amazing....
Now...as crazy as this sounds I am not big on sweets. I rarely eat the cupcakes I bake. This cupcake is perfect for someone like myself. The cupcake itself presents itself as a muffin, its got an almost salty undertone and the top and bottom are a little crispy, but once you bite into it it melts in your mouth like a cupcake! The whipped topping is the perfect match for this cupcake. Its not as overpowering as most frosting's but adds a little bit of sweetness to it! They would be perfect for St. Patty's Day with green whipped topping....I think a marshmallow frosting would work well for this too!
The Hubs is taking them to work tomorrow and I am excited to see the response I get! He absolutely LOVED them, but sometimes I worry he's a little biased.
I will be making Marshmallow Oreo Dreams in a couple days! Then I will post whichever recipe got the best response!
I hope everyone is having a great week so far! Thanks for reading!

Back to Baking!
Had a great week with the little sis! Even got some cupcake baking and decorating in for a going away party!

So, this weeks cupcakes will be (drum roll please....)
Irish Cream
&
Cookies and Cream
I plan to get started on my first batch tonight! Pictures soon to come!
As always thanks for reading! Hope you have a great week!

Recipe for Exhaustion!
So...due to some unfortunate, unexpected events I did not get started even baking my cupcakes until like 9:30pm last night! I don't cut corners and quality control is super important to me so I was up baking and decorating until 12:30.
The marshmallow flower technique turned out beautifully and was actually fairly easy. It just took forever, and quite frankly I do not care if I see another mini marshmallow again. The task of cutting and dipping the marshmallow petals was incredibly tedious. The turned out great though....
My chocolate shapes turned out AWFUL! Just awful! I think I am going to need some kind of stencil or better bags and tips to make them! So...since that didn't go as planned I decided to pipe the rest and use my a few of the sprinkles from my ginormous stash, I also did some marble frosting. I think they turned out okay, but I was getting a little tired.....
Unfortunately I am unable to attend the picnic my cupcakes are going to, but I hope everyone there enjoys them! Despite it taking soooo darn long and staying up so late I actually enjoyed decorating them! Decorating is super therapeutic and relaxing for me!
I hope everyone has a super weekend. I will be scouring my cupcake recipes today to choose some flavors for the week!
