Holy Chocolate Cake Pops, Batman!!

Good Afternoon! 

So yesterday I went over to Bri's and we worked on cake stuff ALL DAY! 

But this post will focus on the cake pops we made.

 We had extra chocolate cake from one Bri made a while ago, and if you read my last blog post you would know I had extra chocolate buttercream :) 

So, no joke, we made TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CAKE POPS!! Bri is calling them our Mudslide Cake Pops. 

Bri is an absolute PRO at making cake pops. All I really did was document the experience. Ha! 

I have no patience for this ;)

But we have discovered the secret to making sure the chocolate coating doesn't crack once its hardened! That was a pet peeve of ours when we make these, cuz for some reason they were always CRACKING! It was annoying... 

BUT NO MORE!! 

Check them out! :) So you've got a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, coated with chocolate and rolled in crushed oreos and mini chocolate chips! YUUUUUM!!!

Not even kidding you, Bri and I had a Frozen Moment ;) We literally did this

Aaand I feel I connect well with Anna, cuuuz this is basically me... stuffing my face with these cake pops... ;)

I tell you what tho, these are my FAVORITE cake pops that we have made so far! THEY ARE AMAZING!!! If you are a chocolate lover, like me, you will fall out of whatever chair you are sitting in when you try these! ;) Haha!

 Now we will eat them tonight to celebrate Mom's last day of work! And we will all be in a wonderful chocolate coma by the time the night is thru. 

Well, hope you enjoy your evening! I know I will ;)

My 2015 Review

Hello All!

Yes, I know, I'm a bit late but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 

I've been crazy busy the last week or so with family stuff and finally found a day where I can reflect on 2015 and look forward to 2016!

Is it terrible that I can't really think of anything that really happened during 2015? I moved to a new apartment and got a new job in April, so that's... exciting..? HA! Well, Leila was just born at the end of 2014 so a lot of my time was spent with her so I think she would be the highlight of the year. 

 

Here is the first picture I posted in 2015:

We were up in Door County last January and we were watching a football game. Leila was laying like this while watching. HAHA! She's such a cutie :)

In the fall my church had a fundraiser and Bri and I made cupcakes and cake pops to sell in the bake sale. THEY WERE A HIT!! Super fun to make too, but a tiny bit tedious.

 

Here is a picture that I drew in November. Of all the pictures I drew in 2015 (and there were a few), this is the one I'm most proud of! It's Colin Morgan, an Irish actor who I mentioned in a previous post. 

 
 

But on another note, LOTS of good movies came out in 2015! I know you've probably heard of most of these, but maybe some you haven't. Here are some of my favorite movies released in 2015 (Beware, there's Lots):

You can click on the pictures to be taken to the IMDB site for each movie

  WOW! That took a lot of maneuvering trying to get all those pictures to look half decent. HAHA!

Anyways, even tho that's a lot of movies there are still some that I haven't seen yet and definitely want to! Such as: Southpaw, Everest, The Martian, Pan, Crimson Peak, Suffragette, Brooklyn, Spectre, Mockingjay Part 2, Macbeth, Joy, and The Revenant. (Click on the movie titles to be taken to its IMDB page.) I know, that's a bunch more! Haha! It was a good year for movies! :)

 

So there was my review of 2015! 

BRING ON 2016! 

 Hope you have a wonderful rest of your evening!
