Hamburgers

Our cousin, Zack, had his graduation party this past weekend. They had a barbeque themed party. My Aunt Shannon has been loving all of the cake pops we have been doing so she challenged us to hamburger making. That's right, cake pops that look like hamburgers. I'm not going to lie they were alot of work but we think they turned out pretty cute.

These hamburgers are made with peanut butter candy melt for the bun. The peanut butter definitely gave them a different taste but they were still delicious!

These hamburgers have rye buns. We have a few kiddos with peanut allergies so we had to please all parties involved.

Thank you Shannon for challenging us to Hamburger pops! We had a blast doing them and they really got our creative juices flowing. Peanut butter and jelly sammys anyone?

Hungry?

Dinner and dessert in one bite? Here is a sneak peek at what our weekend involved.

Baby Girl

Our friend Sara, from the gym, had a baby girl on Sunday night. Krista whipped up a batch of cake pops with pink candy melt and put together a bowl of pops for her.

The whole slew of Pops

Here is a picture of the finished result. I think I am going to set up shop outside the hospital and sell them to people as they go in. Good idea, right?

Cherry-Filled Cake Balls

So I decided to do a little experimenting with cake balls. I filled them with cherries! YUM! They turned out to be quite a hit. I think the following picture will make your mouth water.

Note the following pictures were taken with a real camera =]

Look at that cherry!

I was attempting to get pretty artsy with the candy melt, however I was running low and I cant say the end result is the greatest, but they sure did taste great!

Same Old Same Old

Last night Krista and I made some cake pops. We did the standard chocolate cake, chocolate frosting and just used whatever sprinkles we could find. Next week should bring on some more exciting things, hamburgers and cherry filled cake pops. For now enjoy this picture of last night's treats.

Side note...I think we need to invest in a good camera - these cell phones pictures aren't doing much for us!

Eau Claire Cake Pop

This past weekend, our little Bethany graduated from high school. This Fall she is off to the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire (my Alma mater - Go Blugolds!). In honor of her finishing high school and her being accepted to college we made cake pops in Woodbury color and Eau Claire colors. We were really bad at the whole picture taking thing, so I got one picture of the last, lone cake pop Bethany hid.

Cupcake Bites

There are many different things one can do with cake balls. You can leave them as be, a glorious ball of cake combined with frosting covered in candy melt! Or you can put them on a stick and make cake pops. Or you can make cupcake bites! It's all very simple. You start with your basic cake ball, put it in a mold to make the bottom of the cupcake and top with an M&M and sprinkles. Low and behold - a cupcake bite.
