Cheerful Chickie Cookie Pops

These happy little chicks  are made from golden sandwich cookies filled with lemon icing and dipped in yellow tinted white chocolate.

To keep the stick inside the cookie, I separated the cookie layers, dipped a lollipop stick in melted chocolate and placed it on the cream side of the cookie,

 surrounded it with lemon icing, and then put the cookie layers back together.

Then I let the cookies set in the freezer for a few minutes.

After the sticks were firmly in place, I dipped the whole cookie in the yellow melting chocolate and topped it off with a quick dip into yellow sprinkles.

The faces, feet and wings are drawn on with piping gel.

Cheerful, lemony, sweet, cookie goodness.

Giveaway ends April 9!

Lego Birthday Cake

Hooray...it's time to party and the cake is ready!
We went with a Lego theme this year.  (no big surprise there!)
So a Lego cake it is...

The cake inside the colorful, lego inspired shell is my yummy, moist 3 ingredient cake.  I'll post the recipe later this week...so keep an eye out for it!

I filled the cake with cream cheese frosting and cherry preserves.

Three yummy layers!

After a crumb coat of cream cheese frosting, I covered the cake with green fondant.

The words on the top are made of actual legos on a green lego base.

I made twisted ropes with red and blue fondant and used them to frame the words.

I molded colorful chocolate lego bricks to decorate the base of the cake.

Chocolate lego minifigures adorn the sides and front of the cake.  

I used a silicone mold to make these little men and painted their faces with gel food coloring and a toothpick.

The dude with sunglasses is cute...

 but, Mr. Eyepatch is my favorite!

 A cake  can't help being bright and fun when Legos are the theme.
