I Scream..You Scream..We all Scream for Ice Cream---Cake Pops That Is :)

Hi Bloggers!

It is State Testing for the 4th grader this week and my son's teacher asked the room parents to sign up for one day to bring in a snack for the kids after they take their test.

Today was my day and I could have brought in cupcakes or brownies or cookies but I thought BORING! Why not make some more cake pops!

I had my son look through the Bakarella's book and pick out the cake pops he liked. He picked the ice cream cones.

So that I what I made.

I do have to pat myself on the back and say these came out AWESOME!

The kids in the class LOVED them, they teachers went goo-goo over them and I had wished I made 100 to give out to everyone of the teachers...sorry guys I only made 32 and 21 were accounted for.

We did give the extra's to my boy's favorite teachers this year and last year :)

I wrapped each one individually so there were no germ passing while they sat in class waiting to be eaten

The cake I used was yellow cake from Aldi's and Duncan Hines chocolate frosting.

Pink and dark chocolate wafers and m&m's for the cherries

They were such a HUGE hit!! I love how they came out and had a number of teachers ask me how to do them :)

The weather is beautiful outside today and I want to head back out. I just planted 30 strawberry plants and my sugar snap peas are starting to sprout...Love this time of year!

Off to go work on the garden some more.

Have a great night and I will see you all tomorrow

My 100th Post!! A Pokeball...Bottle Swap Goodies...Chicken Cake Pops

WOW! What a heading..right?!?!

I am so excited to say this is my 100th post! Such a big accomplishment for me especially since I was very hesitant about even starting a blog and sharing my projects with all to see. I am so glad I have and these last 3 months have been totally awesome for me. I have made some great blogging buddies...gotten tons of feedback and have learned so much and even got onto a DT. WHOO!!

I have a bunch to share today. 1st off is from my bottle swap. I have gotten 1 of the 2 bottles back and this one came on Saturday

Look at all this yummy stuff that came. I had so much fun filling my bottles and shipping it out and the even better part is receiving   bottles back with goodies. I definitely want to do this again. It is a great way to get rid of items you have and maybe will not use and get new stuff you could use! When my other bottle comes I will post its contents up. So excited to see what is in there :)

Next is my Pokemon Master Ball  birthday card I made for my son's birthday party. Unfortunately there is not a cartridge with Pokemon guys so this is what I came up with. My son told me that this Pokemon Poke ball is the best or the "Master" and this is what his friend would like. 

Little did I know it would be such a HUGE hit. He wouldn't let anyone touch it. So cute and it makes me feel AWESOME that he loved it so much! I put a pocket inside to hold the gift card and I have to be honest...I really like the way it came out!

Lastly are the cake pops I made on Sunday. OMG! How much fun were these! I do have to say that I went out and purchased the book and had to try it out. What design was the 1st must try? My chickens of course. So here are my 1st attempt. I know what to do differently next time but all in all they came out super cute. My boys each took one to school for lunch and they sampled on at home and the rest went with my husband to work. He said they were gone within minutes! I am going to be making these again for Easter and for the boys classroom treats. Probably eggs but maybe chicks. We will see but I will post them again.

They were super easy to make and I recommend  anyone to give it a try. I will be more than glad to pass on my learning experience with whoever is interested.

SO there you have it. My weekend condensed. I didn't post my card or the pops because of the blog hop and I don't know how to keep a post at the top when you post again so this is my catch-up. And for those of you who question me about my chickens here is a picture of one of my pretty girls hanging out, and my youngest with another girl.

Have a great night and I will be back tomorrow!
