I hope everyone had a very happy Valentine's day! I know I did! I decided to throw together a couple valentine's cake pops and these are the final result! I had some left over frosting but not enough to make anything substantial and it was also colored green (not very Valentinesy)! I think I went a bit overboard with these... my heart shaped cookie cutter didn't look that big but apparently it was! Normally, these would be dipped in chocolate- no big deal, but they were so heavy they kept coming off the sticks and I couldn't get them out of the chocolate... not exactly what I had anticipated! So my quick dips turned into a laborous project! The chocolate had to be applied like icing and it was so bumpy when it dried so I had to do some camoflauge (is that how you spell it) with the pink chocolate! All in all, I will never make them that big again! It took 3 people just to eat one heart pop!
On a lighter note, I did make a whole bunch of one bite cupcakes. Nothing crazy. Just dark chocolate (I'm really into the dark chocolate for some reason) with a nice fluffy vanilla buttercream (of course I mad it pink!). I brought a bunch to work and to the orthodontist's office. Needless to say, they were devoured immediately! I like to bring treats when I have appointments (hair, dentist, etc.). I know my office always appreciates the thought and it does make the staff like you a bit more!!! I always hope that they'll remember that when I need an emergency appointment!!
I can't believe I've only been doing this blog for a month! I'm hoping that maybe, someday, I'll have lots of readers and they'll be inspired to pick up a spoon and a bowl and create something too! See ya next week!
