Touch of Gold

When I saw Yuppiechef issue a challenge on cake pops I thought this is a great way for me to re-enter the world of blogging and revive my blog. Since the theme was spring, I made tiny flowers and dyed coconut green. The idea was to create green grass cake pops with tiny flowers all over.

So a cake was baked, crumbs were made ,




buttercream was added


and balls were rolled .
Then I stuck the sticks into the cake balls and placed them in the fridge. In the mean time I melted my chocolate, ready for dipping the cake pops.

This is easy I thought, until I started dipping those balls into the chocolate. I have no words for what happened next…Each and every one of these balls either cracked on the stick or slid off the stick. Of about 24 balls only two remained standing.

I will definitely make them again, just not anytime soon. My bruised ego needs healing.

Last year Tandy initiated a secret santa for bloggers. My gift arrived a little bit late due some post office sloppiness but it was worth the wait.

I always wanted a kitchen scissors and I just love small notebooks especially ones like these that are so  unique .

Thank you to My secret santa for such a thoughtful gift.

Today is my last working day for 2011. I will be back on the 3rd of January. I hope everyone is having a blessed Christmas and a happy New Year. For those traveling please come back safely. For the rest of us who will be spending the holidays at home, rest and do all those things you hardly have time to do…that is my plan for next week.

Isiah 9: 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Cheers everyone!
