Cake Camp Day #2 - Cake Pops!!!

"When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen." -A.A. Milne

My kids know...somedays you  have to be prepared for anything and this was one of those days! We set out to make cake pops not knowing what we were getting ourselves into...

 You have to keep these puppies COLD! We lost a few in the chocolate while dipping them...but the kids kept their spirits up and we pressed on...

 While the pops were setting we realized they needed a vessel! I had these sweet little glasses but they were TOO TALL! So we got out the sizzle! I love that stuff!

 And look at what we got!

 So...we thought it best we try them before everyone took them home. You know, to make sure they were okay...

 These kids were all so great...I really couldn't get enough of them!

 And they all worked SO hard!

It was a fabulous day...I am hoping to find more time for cake pops in the future! Like a whole day...just to roll, dip and play!

You should try it too! Check out Bakerella for more details!

Enjoy!

Cake Camp Day 1!

 I was just browsing my blog when I realized I am MUCH behind! Here I thought a few quick entries for September and I would be laughing...but no! It seems I quit too soon in August!

So here goes! We had a wonderfully successful week at Cake Camp this summer!

 On the first day, we started with a simple, no fail plan. (Is there really such a thing?)

 We were going to decorate cupcakes to look like an ice cream cone...see Princess thought she had it all figured out!

But then we really set to work...and created cupcake art (I think so, don't you?)

And we had a little extra time so we made ourselves some teddy bears...they were SO fun! The kids loved the modelling!

Definitely a great day!

Enjoy!

You can't always get what you want...

But sometimes you get lucky!!!

Princess was low on summer pjs...so I finally pulled out the fabric we bought to make her pjs...and I dug around (on the internet) until I found this tutorial. I wasn't sure if I could get it right but apparently I got lucky on that!

Then I used my recently purchased Lil Blue Boo Perfect Short Pattern (these shorts are only perfect for people with lovely legs, I think!)
We are currently in love with the whole idea of the Yoga Pant waistband! Princess has shorts and skirts with it and it's so comfy and doesn't go anywhere or get twisted!
You can see I did a ruffle finish on the shirt...I love doing that! And Princess loves it too! Now that fall has kicked in I am going to have to make her pants because she just loves these jammies so much!

Enjoy!
