Chinese New Year cake pops

I used clove sticks for the stems and moulded some leaves out of chocolate.

Barbie ...

When a little asks to have a barbie doll on the cake what do we all automatically do ? We make a dress cake ...:) I tried to keep it simple but glittery .. I guess i went a little too simple although i used a REAL Barbie in the construction ..:) (an extra birthday present for the little girl )

Cake pops

The most basic kind ...
It is only a matter of time before i made them .. :)
Of course you can't do cakepops without mentioning Bakerella

I started with some butter cake (pound cake) ...
then i added some butter cream frosting ...
and then some sugar hearts and fairy dust (disco dust i think they call them at bakeshops)




When I ran out of buttercream, I added some thickened cream i figured by the time you mesh the butter cream in the testure would be similar to cream....and it was still tasty and not as sweet .. :)





Then i did one more with some yoghurt with butter cake. I used strawberry yoghurt which was a bit inspired by the raspberry bullets ..:)

What a 7 year old can do ....

Who says you can't learn anything from a 7 year old .. :)

There was some butter cake, odd pieces of fruit and cream, and this was the presentation that was created :


Insisting on preparing dessert, she cut up some strawberries and skewered it and placed it on a plate of yoghurt.


We were given some granola bars at a craft fair and there were more people than bars to go around. So the little one cleverly distributed it and presented it with some frozen mixed berries on a bed of fresh cream.


Sometimes when she describes the dessert we remain skeptical, well we just need to be more trusting :)
