So this was my first time properly making cupcake pops. The only difference from cake pops, is that they are in the shape of cupcakes. To get the shape you roll your cake ball into an oval shape. Then take a flower cookie cutter, and put half of the cake ball into it. Then make a dome shape on the part that is sticking out.
Then once you slide it out of the cookie cutter it should have a cupcake looking shape. It took me some time to get the hang of it.
So after you have your shape, melt the candy melt color you will use for the bottom of the cupcake. Take the cupcake and dip the bottom part of it into the chocolate. Then take it out and stick a lollipop stick in half way, put it upside down and let the chocolate harden.
Once it has hardened, melt the other color candy melt. Then dip the top part of the cupcake into the candy melts.
Then add some sprinkles and an M&M in the middle before the chocolate hardens, and your done!
I made these for a friends birthday. You can wrap each cupcake pop in a lollipop wrap and tie it with a ribbon.

Hello everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted anything for a while, I’ve been really busy lately. Anyway, today I wanted to share a chocolate chip cookie recipe that I made. (I got the recipie from Bakerella). This was the first time I made chocolate chip cookies from scratch and they turned out deelicoius! So here are the things you will need:
You will need: 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup butter (2 sticks), 2 1/4 cup all purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 cups of chocolate chips.
First pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Then mix in the flour, salt, and baking soda with a wire whisk and set aside.
Next beat the sugars, and butter until it is blended.
Next beat in the eggs and the vanilla.
Then blend in the flour mixture in two batches.
After you are done blending the mixture add two cups of chocolate chips, and mix them in with a spatula. Then scoop the batter with a spoon and drop the cookies on a baking tray. Drop them 2 inches apart. Bake them for 8-10 minutes, and then enjoy!
Hello everyone! Yesterday I went to a cupcake shop called Gilmon’s.
They had really cute cupcakes and cookies. I wanted to share the cupcake I got.
This is a chocolate cupcake with coffee frosting. The frosting was delicious. I forgot to take pictures of how the shop looked. The shop also makes custom cakes. There were pictures of their cakes hanging on the wall, and they were very pretty. Well that’s all for now!

Hello everyone! Last Monday some of my friends came over to bake. They decorated the cakes. Their cakes were really awesome and creative. We made vanilla cake, and we used all the mini cake pans (thank you Ms. Jean!).
So here are all the mini cakes before they got baked.
The cakes in the oven.
So after the cakes had cooled we made our frosting. Then one by one everyone made their cakes. First crumb coat.
Then take some fondant.
And roll it out on powdered sugar.
Then pick it up and put it on your crumb coated cake, and smooth it to the shape of the cake.
Then trim off the access fondant.
So first was the star cake.
Then the bear cake.
Then a high five cake.
A heart cake.
Now this is a very different cake….a buffalo cake. One of my friends loves the word buffalo so she just wrote that on her cake…
The friend who made the star cake, well her sister couldn’t make it. So she showed some sisterly love and made her a very sweet cake =]
And here is the last cake.

Hello everyone! A few days ago a friend had asked me to bake cookies for her, so I went to Bakerella and looked in her cookie category. I didn’t have much free time to make a fancy dessert so I was looking for something easy; and i came across these. I had seen these a few months ago on a shop on Etsy called Tookies. So today I will show you how to make them.
The ingredients you need for the cookies is any cake mix, 1/2 cup of butter, and two eggs.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Put your cake mix in a bowl…
..the eggs..
and butter(make sure the butter has been softened to room temperature).
Then mix it till it has a cookie dough texture.
Then drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet.
Then bake them in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Then take them out of the oven and let them cool. My batch came out a little uneven so when you are scooping the cookie dough try to make your balls more circular.
Now to make the frosting for the cookies you will need: 1/2 cup butter (softened to room temperature), one 8 oz. package of cream cheese(also softened to room temperature), 1 tsp of vanilla, and one 1 lb of powdered sugar. First add the cream cheese, butter, and vanilla.
Then blend it until it is fluffy.
Then mix in the powdered sugar in batches.
Then put a dollop of frosting on a cooled cookie.
Then take another cookie and place it on the frosting.
Press them together until the frosting reaches the edges of the cookies. And now you’re done!
As I said above you can use any cake mix. In the picture above I used red velvet.
Hello everyone! Today I had a few friends come over and we baked together. A friend had given me lots of mini cake pans in a bunch of different shapes. I finally used them today.
My friend made this bear shaped cake.
My other friend made this star shaped cake. The cakes are vanilla with vanilla buttercream frosting, and covered in fondant. You can see the recipe for the vanilla cake here. Bye =]
