Ninja Style

A friends darling daughter planned herself a ninja birthday party.  I was super excited to do something different so I set out on my first cake pop experience.  Instead of chocolate, I covered these in frosting with a little meringue to help them set a bit. They were lots of fun and now I am not so afraid of cake pops!!

Pioneer Day meets the Birthday Boy!

The 24th of July is Pioneer Day in Utah.  Sure I don't live there any more but some traditions fall hard.  We had a picnic at church to celebrate this day and were asked to bring a dessert to share.  One of the boys at church's birthday happens to fall on this same day.  SO... what a great excuse to make a cake.  I had no idea what I would do but it just took on a life of its own.  The smile on his face was worth every minute!  Happy Birthday Neal!
