Covered in Chocolate and a Miracle Or Two..

My friend Caroline Cakewise (so jealous of her name btw!) at Sparkles & Crumbs blog inspired this little passage. She is my friend over in England who posts delicious blogs that fill my spirit with joy.

I have always enjoyed taking photos of multiple, brightly colored things. Especially yummy things.
I was in the Party City store not that long ago, and to my delight there was an entire row of HAPPY CHEERFUL COLORFUL and BRIGHT candy! 

One of the employees asked me what I was doing as I snapped away on my "sweet" random photo shoot.
♥  Hopefully my story inspired her to look at candy as so much more than just.....sugar.

This was me that day.



Cake Pops I created inspired by the Lemonheads.
"When Life Gives you Lemons, make Cake Pops."



My bright red cherry chocolate cake pop inspired by the joy of candy.



How many licks does it take to get to the center?

Obviously not very many. :)

Who can take a sunrise,

Sprinkle it with dew?

Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two

The candyman, the candyman can,

The candyman can 'cause he mixes it with love

and makes the world taste good



Who can take a rainbow,

Wrap it in a sigh?

Soak it in the sun and make the strawberry lemon pie

The candyman? The candyman can

The candyman can 'cause he mixes it with love

and makes the world taste good



The Candyman makes

everything he bakes

Satisfying and delicious.

Talk about your childhood wishes.

You can even eat the dishes!



Who can take tomorrow,

Dip it in a dream?

Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream,

The candyman? The Candyman can, the candyman can

The candyman can 'cause he mixes it with love

and makes the world taste good

And the world tastes good

'cause the candyman thinks it should

 
 
My philosophy in one cutesy little song.
I think if I had a cupcake mobile it would play this.
Except I would have to be the female version of the candyman.
And I would definitely be prettier than the candyman.
Wearing a dress that looks like a cupcake.
Bright happy lipstick on my lips.
Delicious deliveries to be made.
To make the world smile.









IceCream for Cupcakes!!

You scream I scream we all scream for Cupcakes!
I seem to have found a knack for making cupcakes that resemble ice cream cones.
Inspired by: Bakerella!
People love them.  They are most loved in the middle of winter.
On one of the coldest days ever, I made some ice cream cupcakes which were devoured practically the second I delivered them!

at the OC Cupcake Showdown, in over my head with ice cream cone cupcake paparazzi!

You can use just about anything for the toppings.
Melt some candy wafers on top of your
cupcake ball to make it look like real ice cream!
Quickly, before it dries add sprinkles, stars, sparkles,
dried banana, or even a gumdrop that resembles a cherry!
Stack a few cupcake balls on top of eachother to resemble "scoops" of ice cream!
