First I tried my hand at "Cake Balls", which really truly have an awful name, but are super easy and with a little more practice could be adorable.
I also like that I can keep the balls in the freezer and just dip a few when needed for quick coffee with a girl friend or a fun addition to cold lunches.
And then I've been warming back up my face painting skills for the upcoming fun fair. This rose is eluding me this year...
She LOVES this one.
See? Definitely getting better, but now needs a bit of outlining if I want it to be "tattoo" like.
I've also been working on these super cute little door hangers
for May Day "baskets" and simple teacher gifts, etc.
(Which I will photograph this week, when I have more completed.)
Oh! And I made myself a cute little metal stamped necklace that I've worn every day this week.
(No photo, yet. =)
K..... really? How did I miss your return? Love you and missed you!!!
ReplyDeleteReread....
ReplyDeleteLOVE the roses. You are really talented. You would make our Martha very proud.... except you aren't a b**** like she is. :-)
And cake balls.... I really like cake balls.... strawberry is my favorite, but only if it is REAL strawberry. The boxed strawberry, to me tastes.... metallic, for lack of a better word. What recipe do you like to use? My current favorite thing to make: whoopie pies. :-) Over the holidays, I had some delicious pumpkin whoopies that I made with a wonderful cream cheese filling..... YUMMERS!
I wrote a huge response to this LL, but I don't know where it went. ??? So in summary:
ReplyDelete*Thank you.
*Embarrassing to admit, but I LOVE Martha.
*Cake Balls:
Not a strawberry cake fan. I did make these in the photo with Martha's One-Bowl Chocolate Cake Recipe and a Marshamallow "Smore" frosting recipe - I think I've shared that one with you?
I made some for #1's Confirmation Party two weeks ago - both Lemon and Chocolate with boxed mixes and (egads!) canned Cream Cheese frosting - and got nothing, but raves. (I was in a hurry!) But the scratch recipe was the best for sure.
* I've seen lots of recipes for whoopie pies lately! Please share yours and how much work they were?
Sent you the whoopie pie recipe on FB
