Happy Halloween / Frankenstorm

My friend had her birthday/Halloween bash this weekend. Last year the pops I took to her party were a big hit so she hired me to make 30 for the partaay! Yay! My second sale!  She let me pick the flavors and designs.  I was lost. I had bought some orange and lime green chocolate melts and thought I would make some zombies or frankensteins.  Plus with Hurricane Sandy coming it would be appropriate to make some frankensteins aka frankenstorms! ha! With the orange I knew I'd make some pumpkins but the orange monsters were accidents. The green zombies were sort of accidents too. I had intended on making them all Frankensteins but the chocolate wasn't cooperating so I just blobbed chocolate on them.  Then I wanted to make skulls, but they didn't work out either so I went with mummies. I was struggling with the chocolate....it would never get "liquidy" enough for me. All of the orange pops were made with pumpkin spice bread and pumpkin cream cheese and the green & white pops were made with chocolate cake and vanilla frosting. Happy Halloween everyone! Hope everyone affected by Sandy is okay too.

  

Auburn Football Helmets

Okay so I tried to make the helmets I had initially intended to make for Billy's bday. I used candy writers for the helmet details. I know it's not the right blue, but I figured it was okay because they were just for Billy anyway. I didn't really like how they turned out but they're okay I guess. Oh well! War Eagle! 

Happy Birthday Billy!

So it's my husband's birthday today and we're getting together with friends to celebrate at a local Irish pub to play some trivia.  I made some cake pops yesterday to take over instead of having to deal with a big cake or cupcakes. Much easier to transport over there. I went for the footballs again. Except this time I used the left over frozen guinness cake from the "Manual"pops and used Bailey's Icing again. I think the footballs turned out cuter than the first time I made them.  I had intended on making football helmets too but I ran out of time and couldn't decorate them. I'll try to make those this weekend. 

They passed the taste taste!!
