I'm not much of a cake or cookie decorator. I honestly don't have the patience for it. I mean, I'll do my best if I have to, but I don't usually enjoy it. Maybe this might change as my kids get older and I might a little more time. But for now, I like to do things simple. So, when I was asked to make some 'bride & groom' cake pops and pretzel rods for my husband's grandparents 60th anniversary party, I was a tad nervous. Fortunately, my husband has a little more patience (and perhaps, skill) when it comes to cake/cookie decorating. Yeah. He can be crafty too sometimes.
Well, here's how they turned out:
It turned out, they weren't as difficult as we thought.
Once we got the hang of the dipping technique, we were on a roll! (no pun intended, tee hee.)
And, of course, the 'brides' were only a matter of shaking on the sprinkles, but the added ribbon was the finishing touch!
Like I said, I'm no professional. But they were fun and I was definitely honored to have made them for the party.
We were also asked to create some matching 'bride and groom' pretzel rods.
I also wanted to share a little something else with you! My bloggy friend, Kara from Mine for the Making, sent me a little gift in the mail recently. What fun! I was so ecstatic when I got this super sweet fuchsia flower ring.
Thanks so much, Kara! I love it!! And it's my favorite color, which is so great!
That's all for today! See you all tomorrow.
