Good Morning!!

I know it's been awhile since my last post, things have been crazyyy here!! So much to do, so little time.  Today is my catch up day, and Baby Z is taking a nap, so perfect time to update my page!! :)

I have so much to tell you about!

So, a couple of weeks ago, I got an order for Mickey and Minnie Cake Pops.  Living in Orlando, it's probably a smart idea to perfect my Mickey and Minnie Cake Pops, and cupcakes.  I got my inspiration from Bakerella.  She is amazing, and hopefully I can perfect my pops to be as amazing as hers!!

       My first try                                The Finished Product

Minnie?

Bakerella Cake Pops...I need to figure out how to do this! She has step by step instructions, but its not as easy as it looks!

The cake pops were for a group of students that came down from Cincinnati, from The International Academy to perform at Downtown Disney.  The kids did an amaaazing job and loved the little treats!

Last weekend, I did some really cute cake pops for Easter! I love experimenting with cake pops, there are soo many things you can do with them, and they're so fun! Perfect for party favors!

I did some cute Easter bunny, and chick ones for Easter:

I used marshmallow corners for the bunny ears, and sprinkles for they eyes and nose.  I wanted to draw on little mouths, but the food writers I have (Wilton, blah) would not write on the chocolate!! I just ordered some Americolor ones, which I've learned are the way to gooo.  Can't wait to try them out!

 Last Sunday was the Chari-Tea for MWO (Muslim Women's Foundation) to raise money for women and families in need in the community.  Check out their page, they're doing some amazing work in the Orlando area! :)

I donated a basket of my goodies to be auctioned off during the silent auction at the Chari-Tea.  I was worried no one was going to bid on it, lol, BUT it was gone pretty quickly, phew.

 It had a dozen cake balls, and half a dozen mini cupcakes along with a selection of tea and coffee!

I also donated some mini cupcakes for the actual event itself.  It gave me a chance to experiment with my new fondant texture mats.  so exciting!!  I was really proud of my little cupcakes! :)
