Whoopie Diaster... oops I mean whoopie pies and my sunday

So first off I would just like to say that I have been Loving confessions of a cookbook queen's blog. I love it because I am her ha. . . I would rather eat some sour patch kids for dinner than eat real food, I absolutely would rather sit in a big shirt from my fiance's side of the dresser and sweats and watch my TV shows than socialize and I love baking yummy treats ;)

Anyways I haven't really blogged lately because I haven't had time to bake ughhhh!
So I had yesterday off and I was of course sitting on the couch relaxing with my fiance, looking up recipes I would love to try!! I kept looking at whoopie pies and I guess my fiance could tell I was just ITCHING to try some so we made our trip to walmart to get my whoopie supplies and then it was on like donkey kong.
well it could of turned out better :) but hey in my defense it was my FIRST TIME EVER DOING THESE!!

so I didn't know they would spread out this much , it did get better from here but i forgot to take pictures... they cake parts of them were delish BUT the recipe I used for the filling called for 1 1/4 cups shortning YUCK I just can't even stomach the whoopies now with the texture of the filling. . . BUt I will conquer these one day!


But I did manage to whip up these scrumtious vanilla bean cupcakes!!

Oh and I forgot to tell you about the best part of the baking experience I (yet again) set the oven on fire :) oops I forgot that the other day when I was playing betty crocker making homemade pot pies(to die for homemade pot pies I mean crave these bad boys good yumm) I forgot to clean up the spills in the bottom from when they boiled over a tincy bit, so when I preheated the oven my fiance asked why the oven was smoking and WASN'T the least bit surprised to find a fire in the oven lol! (how sad that it doesn't even phase him anymore when flames occur in the kitchen while im in there)

OH I FORGOT THE TOPPING ON THE CAKE TO THIS WONDERFUL SUNDAY...
for the past couple of months we have been awakened many times during the night by loud thumping up on the roof, many times during the night my lovely wonderful fiance has ran around the house in boxers with his gun trying to figure out what in the heck the noise is (it literally sounds like a boogie monster up on our roof walking around) so after hearing it over and over at night we came to the conclusions birds must be getting up under the eaves. . .
UNTIL last night we walked out on our porch to look at our new solar lights we put all around and we look up and something (BIG) scampered under the eave and then growled at us... UGH (at this point i was yelling at my brother in law in the house to get a flashlight and A GUN) i wasn't about to deal with getting attacked in my own yard at 10pm
So the conclusion.. its not a bird... its not a plane ... its a freaking RACOON... Seriously I think this would be a good time to say FML...

The best part is when we purchased our house(about a yr ago) we noticed we couldn't find the opening to the attic ANYWHERE ... so were assuming that its hidden under our drop down ceiling in one of the bedrooms(that the dumbA** homeowners who redid this house put in) So now as I am writing my blog I am waiting here for a call from my beloved fiance to tell me when the exterminator will be here. UGH Good luck to him trying to find the opening to the attic ...

Have a wonderful day I know I will

hahahah

Summer time bakin~

So I need to vent my anger! My dad text me yesterday and asked if I had read the paper and if I hadn't he had an article he wanted me to read. So I went to his house to read this article about CAKE POPS. Now before I get into why im mad let me just say that I understand that bakerella was the first person to start the cake pop crave and I do realize that there are others out there that are making cake pops into small businesses like myself. "I do know I am not the only person to know how to make these in the world"
but in the article in the paper to the left side it had listed people who have started businesses with cake pops in the local area then off to the right side it had a detailed step by step process on how to make cake pops. This irritated me because here they are listing people who are trying to make ends meet starting a business with these then they give the community the recipe on how to do it. CONTRADICTING if i say so myself!
Oh well life goes on and Im going to keep on doing what i do:) just had to get that off my chest.

So today I woke up and decided that since summer is TRYING to be here I wanted to do some baking that involved a summery taste to it. I baked up some very delicious Lemon PoppySeed Cupcakes with a light lemon frosting!!
These are one of my favorite cupcakes they have such a light airy taste to them and they ALWAYS hit the spot;)

YUMMY...

My lastest Obsession

Ever since I as old enough to sit up on the counter top by myself I have been baking with my mother! I have pictures of me up there helping and I could barely even talk, so lets just say its been in my blood for a while!!
I have grown up with the tradition that every Holiday we make sugar cookies in the shapes that coordinate with the HOliday and then decorate them!!
Now that I live with my soon to be hubby he constantly asks me why are you making cookies again haha)
But lately I have wanted to perfect my decorating, so I have been researching and researching and watching tutorials!!I found one blog that I have just been loving, and it inspired me to bake some cookies.
I have been at my other job a lot the past couple of weeks so I don't have as much time as would like to make cookies but I just wanted to share a couple of pictures of the cookies I did with some new decoration techniques I learned!!

This one is my favorite, im not perfect by any means yet but practice makes perfect right!!!

Craving some baking

Haven't really posted in awhile, I have had a short gap in my cake pop orders(which i have to admit it is nice to see my kitchen counters again) but I have been looking at all of these fabulous blogs with peoples precious cookies and cake pops and I have the itch to bake again!!!
But the problem is I have been so busy with my other two jobs that I don't even have 10 mins to sit down and whip out any tasty treats!! :( BOO HOO

So I before I become so busy with my other two jobs I was having a lot of fun experimenting with cake flavors and flavor combinations... I asked my fans on facebook what flavors they would like to see but they seem to being a bit shy to let me know haha. . . So if anyone comes across this blog please feel free to email me any fun flavors I can play around with :)

Here is my banana bread cake truffles I made the other day...
I absolutely LOVED THESE YUMMM Im drooling right now thinking about them!!

well ta ta for now im off to another long shift at work
hope to post some more fun flavors soooN!!!

Sports

Had a fun day with cake pops just wanted to share with you all, I made some sports pops for a customers order and I think they turned out so cute for my first try at them!!!

Monday Again... How Bittersweet

Well Hello again, I do hope all the mothers out there had a FABULOUS mothers day! I know I made some very cute pops for some very special mothers,I hope you enjoyed them on your special day!
I took my mother out to a very relaxing mothers day lunch for her special day. She is the most amazing person, I couldn't of asked for a better mother i am so blessed!!!

here are some photos of the cute mothers day pops I did. . .

Thank you for all your positive feedback. That is the best part of this business is hearing how happy everyone was with their tasty pops:]

I know all of these fun little holidays like mothers day and st patrick's day are coming to a slow, but remember Petite PoPs when it comes to those memorable days like Birthdays, Anniversary's, Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties, weddings, bridal showers etc.
I want to make all of your special days just a little more special with some customized PoPs just for you!!

One of my part time jobs is working at a "fun zone" with arcade games, birthday parties, pizza and lasertag and just the other day I was watching some of the parties. I noticed what a DISASTER it was when it came to cake and ice cream. These kids were so hopped up on excitement and sugar that they didn't want to sit still while the hostess cut the messy messy cake and the ice cream.
When it finally arrived at the table for the kids to enjoy they didn't want to take 20 mins of their playing time to eat a piece of cake and ice cream, so off they went.
5 mins later the frosting was smeared all over the floor from kids knocking their cake off the table and the ice cream was dripping and making a sticky mess all over the benches and the floor.
WHY DEAL WITH THIS? make this part fun for the kids, give them cake on a stick that they can eat in two bites and go back to playing. Don't you agree?
So don't deal with the messiness of traditional cake and ice cream, order some customized PoPs for these special days:]

Well I'm off to making some more PoPs, Have a fabulous day♥

Mothers Day is coming soon!!
