halloween pops

rowan & i have a couple of parties to go to this week and i thought i'd make some halloween pops for the kids. again, they are a little sloppy. but the kids will like them (i hope!!) we're going to package them up in little individual lollipop bags with cute little tags with kids names. it will be fun.

i was going to draw faces on the pumpkins to make them jack-o-lanterns but after i'd finished drawing the ghost faces, the edible ink pen was about done. it doesn't work that well anyway, as you can tell from the ghosts.

first try...

so, i tried to make bakerella's cupcake pops. mine aren't nearly as cute and perfect as hers. in fact, mine are rather sloppy. i think i was just so excited to actually be making them that i rushed through so i could see the final result. the rushing may also be due to a certain girl with the initials R.T. who didn't want to be anywhere but in my arms today. anyhow, now i know what to do differently next time.

even though they aren't that pretty, they sure are tasty...

i think we're going to try to do some halloween ones next week :)

yum.

I saw these on Tangled & True this morning. I love chocolate covered pretzels. LOVE them. I want some. Now.

On another note, the season premier of The Office is tonight. I can hardly wait.

Yum. We tried these for the first time last night. Never had 'em before. Shanny had us & a bunch of friends over for dinner...we had tacos (they were excellent...thanks Shan, Kaitlyn, and Jaclyn for cooking.) Jaclyn & Bryson wanted to make these for "dessert." They're like little delicious pancake balls. We dipped them in butter & powdered sugar. They're good with maple syrup too. And I'm sure they'd be amazing with some fruit and whipped cream. Oh my goodness I want them right now. These are going to be my new weekend breakfast of choice. Yes.

Now I just have to go buy the pan.
