Catching Up

I have a lot of that to do, haha. I'm sorry! I didn't mean to neglect the blog for so long. It just go to a point where the thought of all the backblogging I'd have to do was just overwhelming. So I'm gonna catch up in baby steps.

First off, those Hello Kitty Cake Pops I mentioned in my last entry!

They didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but that's alright since they were just for me and not a paying customer. I just don't think that Texas weather is right for making these, especially in the dog days of summer. They were incredibly tasty, though!
I made them with yellow cake from a mix (they're just plain easier), and mixed with canned strawberry frosting as per Bakerella's instructions. I think if I do make them another time, I won't put as much frosting in the mix since I have a feeling that lent a big hand in the amount of cursing I did at the Kitty heads that kept falling off the stick and into the bowl of candy melts.

Nope, these are next up.

My friend Callie asked me yesterday if I would make her some Hello Kitty cupcakes for her birthday on May 1st.

OF COURSE I SAID YES!!!!!

For those of you who know me, you know that I am absolutely obsessed with Hello Kitty. So why haven't I made any HK cupcakes yet? I'm not really sure. I guess I never had a reason to before.

But, I'm considering making cake pops instead of cupcakes (or alongside plain cupcakes, not sure yet) this time around. If you read Bakerella's blog, you know what cake pops are. If not, here's a link.

And here are the lovely HK cake pops I'm thinking about making, if Callie will let me:

Aren't they absolutely adorable?

But just in case she doesn't like them, here are some other ideas I've found:

Any other ideas?
