follow ups & a little more.

Just a few things today..

first the cake balls..

I have heard of these and seen these before, but my friend Jacquie shared with me how she made them so I just went for it.. and they were delicious!!

I made them for my friend Kristin's engagement party.

I didn't take pictures while I was making it, it was a sticky chocolaty mess.

It was pretty simple, just a little time consuming.

I used red velvet cake mix & chocolate icing for one set of balls, and french vanilla cake mix & buttercream icing for the other set.

Then I used white chocolate and milk chocolate to cover the balls.

Directions:

follow instructions on box to make a cake.

let cake cool for 30 min.

crumble cake & mix in tub of icing.

form into balls.

melt chocolate and dip/pour on the cake balls.

set on wax paper.

sprinkle while the chocolate is still melted.

I popped mine in the fridge until the chocolate was really solid.

I added the lollipop sticks before I put them in the fridge.

They were seriously so good.

I don't think you could go wrong with any combination cake mix & icing! 

I have seen lots of cute ideas of these all over the internet.

second, the headbands..

 I have had a few people ask me through my blog & also email me about these-- so I just want to let everyone know that I will let you know when & where they are as soon as they are out! I want to make sure I have all the headbands in they are up and ready to go first!

here is a picture of the tags I made for them :)

so I will be back soon about those.

Can you tell we had a play date today?

it's still about half that.. haha.

Everyday when daddy pulls in the driveway & Murphy starts barking the girlies run & "hide".

they are so silly.

I am so lucky they are mine :)

I am so thankful they go to bed early.

It is so quiet.

I will probably step on ten different toys before I actually pick them up.

xo.
