Like cake pops, but easier.

I know I don't need to go on and on about the glories of Bakerella. There are not many of us who haven't gone over to visit her and drool over her beautiful photos of beautiful food. If you haven't been over recently, her newest post is a must see.

After doing a post on my attempt at cake pops, I received a lot of comments from other lovely ladies who had tried the little buggers. Although very cute, they are very aggravating to make. I later made a post of my marshmallow version of Bakerella's flower cake pops, seen here.

Have you ever cut into a wedding cake just to find out it's a Rice Krispie treat? There is a reason the professionals use Rice Krispie treats, one of those reasons is the fact it's easy to work with. The following is a demonstration of using Rice Krispie treats in place of cake and frosting. Giving you the rice krispie pop. Use this method for making Bakerella's cute creations.

Mix a batch of Rice Krispies using your favorite recipe. I added an extra 1/2 cup of marshmallows. I had to add this photo. My spatula broke in mid stroke.

Roll balls, squeezing the krispies tight. I also patted the mixture flat, about 3/4 inch thick, so I could cut out stars. Re-pat scraps and cut out more. Use leftovers to roll balls. (For best results, dip stick in melted chocolate/candy before inserting. Then let dry overnight. This will keep the stick from coming out the top.) Insert sticks. I let the treats stiffen over night.(I did the treat part at 11:00 pm. So, I was just to tired to finish.)
The next photo is a little out of place. I wish I new how to move photos around.
Melt chocolate. Dip balls or cut outs. Roll in sprinkles.

A good place to buy you lollipop sticks is JoAnns. You get more for your money than at Wal Mart.

The two pictures below are of marshmallows. If you plan on covering your treats with these cute little bags, remember to make you balls small.

I got tired of rolling balls. So, I made 3 big ones. Then drizzled the last little bit of all the chocolates on top. I think I will wrap these up and give them to friends.

Roll, dip and eat like crazy.

Hello kitty! Good bye sanity.

I am one tired gal. I held a birthday party for my daughter who will be 4 tomorrow. We had 10 attending the grand event. Party planning is much harder than I had anticipated. I didn't have anything to break the pinata with, the games went to fast and the older girls were noticeable bored. All in all, it was a great party. I attempted to make Hello Kitty Cake Pops, idea courtesy of Bakerella. Ohhhhh my, make the headache stop. These little puppies, excuse me, little kitties are not easy to make. Simply finding a black edible marker is hard enough. Just when I thought I was getting it, one of the blasted little heads would fall off or get stuck to another. Worst yet, a whole foam block of them fell over. Some of them turned out pretty well. I used black decorators gel instead of the marker. It would go on thin enough to make whiskers.

Hey, who invited the chicken?

Why so sad kitty?

I found at Wal Mart a pin the tail on the donkey kit for only 97 cents. It was a great find. I am so glad it's over and I will now finish my bowl of microwave rubber rice.
