Happy Valentine's Day!

I think the reason why I love Valentine's day is because of all the candy. Aisles and aisles of candy. Chocolate covered strawberries, Carmel filled hearts and the M&M's. I love M&M's. I also love sprinkles but that's besides the point. Hey, did you know that is impossible to find valentine sprinkles? I looked everywhere and finally had to ask a grocery store bakery if I could buy some of theirs. Thankfully, they were nice. In two days I made about 50 cupcakes. If I didn't have a friend to help me, I probably would have gone insane. I also gave away lots of cupcakes and ate lots of cupcakes. But I still have about a dozen or so left. Does anybody want some? I can't eat anymore.

Please. Please help me. I can't take anymore cupcakes.....

And the winner is.... finally.

Edmund won! Ya! I was supposed to make Turkish delight, but I didn't want to. So I made cake balls. Sorry I haven't posted for in awhile, life has been crazy. I have a cold and I have a visitor staying with me. You can read about that here: www.spocklogic.blogspot.com

So thanks for being patient and here's your recipe:

Make one cake following the directions. When the cake is done, crumble it up and mix in a can of melted frosting. (Heat the frosting in the microwave and you probably won't need the whole can.) Mix together to form a dough and then roll into a ball. Cover the ball with wax paper and freeze until firm. Then roll into little balls. Melt some chocolate wafers in the microwave, stirring every few seconds. When it is melted, drop cake ball into chocolate and cover. Then scoop out onto wax paper. Sprinkle the desired candies on top. (Note, chocolate hardens fast so put on the sprinkles as soon as possible.) The chocolate will harden by itself, so all you have to do is plate and serve.

Enjoy!

*Note, these are really rich

The Chronicles of Narnia

Edmund has the most interesting story

Peter is not the way he acts in the movie. He is much better in the books

Caspian has a cool story too, but is kinda weird.

Ok. I love the Chronicles of Narnia. I have read the books a million times. I have been thinking about doing a Narnia competition, but I didn't know what to bake for the winner. I still don't know, so we'll just have to see what I come up with. :)

Shakes

Have you ever tried to make homemade shakes? I have never done it, never used a blender and didn't have a recipe. We'll just leave it at that.

Dog cookies

And the winner is.... dogs! Thank you to all that voted! I won't give you the recipe for the cookies because they don't taste good..... But they look pretty. I will have to make another dog recipe that tastes good. Can anyone tell me what that thing is in the second picture?

Cats or Dogs?

Ok, this is it.

The heated debate....

Stupid Ding Dongs

I was bored, so I tried to make ding dongs.



Simple little cupcakes filled with frosting and covered with chocolate right?

I was wrong! They are evil little things that crumble, get frosting all over the top and make a huge mess.
I am so mad at them that I didn't bother to take a picture of them!
So what do we learn from this incident?!
Don't make ding dongs.

Most deplorable...
