M.I.A.

Just on here to let everyone know that I've got some business to take care of... I'm NOT going away and I'm NOT leaving... I'm just BUSY and I'll be back!!! :D

Thank you :D

Holy Busted Cake Pop Crumber, Batman!!!

Yup... it is what it is... I busted my cake crumber... WHY?!?!?! Oh i know why... to buy a new one, of course! Thats right! i got a brand new "crumber" and its bigger and better and that means I'm happily popping again! It helped me make these JB pops!!!

 

 I will NEVER SAY NEVERRRR!!!

 

and...

these super fun ELMO pops!!!

So after looking threw all my pictures I've realized that I have a great camera on my phone... and I should try harder on taking better photos... So my new goal is to make my photos look a bit fancier and removing the whole "kitchen background" stuff I got going :D Right, WQ?! (P.S. have I mentioned that WQ is the best?) Any how keep your eyes peeled... I will be posting more of my stuff and possibly have a Thanksgiving basket going for anyone interested in getting an arrangement for the holidays!

And the winner is..........

JODIE SLIBI ROSS! Congrats on your 1 dozen CHOCOLATE LOVERS CAKE POPS!!!!

If you haven't responded within the week the prize will then go to the next person in line.

cake pop frenzy...

It is what it is! I had a few fun orders this week and of course only took pictures of them on my camera phone. That's the only way I'll do them since my camera is on hiatus and I'm kind of lagging on getting my new camera... But as of tomorrow my brand new MyTouch 4G phone comes in the mail and I will be taking better quality photos with my camera phone :D makes me soooo happy that I will now be technologically HIP!

Unfortunately, i didn't get pictures of all the different variations I made for each order but here IS what I got:Froggy themed baby shower... where ARE those frogs? I don't know... maybe hiding under these lily pads...
Here's one for a pretty "beachin" bachelorette party! Sandy pops for the bride to be!




and last, but not least my rockin tattoo pops made especially for "Big J" over at In The Skin Tattoos in Fullerton.

It may have been a busy week, but I did have a nice relaxing weekend! The fam headed over to a fun pirate party for a special 4 year old! Kaeden got a small taste of whats coming to him in November! We had a blast! And there was an AMAZING bubble show! Like I said my camera is put away on time out as we speak so unfortunately I don't have my own photos of Kaeden inside the big bubble! I'll have to wait to share those! And luckily that night at our New Moon viewing... only half of our group decided to show up which meant... relaxing time for us mommas! Watermelon margaritas and pizza? YES PLEASE! Okay okay so we'll make up for it for our Eclipse viewing DON'T JUDGE ME!
Stick around there will be some pictures to be posting very soon :D Im getting some photography done again of my pops and this means I'm one step closer to getting my site up and running!!! AAAND also keep your eyes peeled as im starting to put together my Thanksgiving Pop Bouquets together! Pictures will be posted asap for you to feast your eyes on and get those orders in!!!

Family photos and forgotten pops...

Thats right. I'm just ending this post with the title because thats exactly what happened. Well, we had our family pictures done today... THAT WAS A SUPER UPSIDE!!!! I'm soooooo excited!!!!!! I've had my appointment made since JANUARY! Yeah, I said it... JANUARY! I was looking for a particular type of photography. I wanted something modern and colorful and unique... and I found all those things and more in Tulips & Tangerines Photography. We have literally been throwing ideas at each other for 8 months and honestly came up with the perfect location last minute! We went to Santa Fe Depot in Fullerton and had an AMAZING time with Valerie! She was great with my son and literally had conversation with us throughout our entire shoot... it was so natural we were never posed we were just "us." She brought it to my attention to bring some pops to eat for the shoot and I was ON IT! I was so excited I made them boxed them and set them on my counter so I wouldn't forget them... and I TOTALLY forgot them! Really?!?! That only meant one thing... we were gonna have to meet up again and have our boys do a mini shoot/play date with pops :D Now THAT'S gonna be fun! Here's a little sneak peak she sent us last a few hours after our shoot... and I'm IN LOVE!
Now that I have a bit of time to make some more fun pops... I'm trying to figure out what pops to make?! For sure I have 2 picked out already. I have an order for baby shower pops and bridal shower pops this week... and both aren't traditional... so they won't look anything like this :D

So your just gonna have to wait and see... teehee!
And as you're reading my website is in development! I have such an amazing friend and business partner there are no words to express the love I have for this girl!!!! She is the reason I've gotten this far with cake popping otherwise I'd still be too scared for a blog and even a Facebook page LOL!!! Thanks WQ! You'll be hearing and seeing a lot of her throughout this blog... especially since we ARE having our "New Moon" viewing next weekend... AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! ANYHOW...When the website is all done... you will know :D

You Twilight My Life Part 2

We got our printables from the most amazing Hostess with the Mostess. And will continue to print as we move along in the movies! I made the little food tags in the pictures shown and unfortunately didn't take time to photograph the drink tags i made for the stems of our glasses... I will remember this for our next viewing!
We filled rootbeer bottles with some yummy homemade margaritas... of course they were red!!!
We also made some delicious apple martinis... those were eventually enjoyed with a licorice straw... yummy!

And of course the rest of our night was fabulous and we ate, drank, watched, critiqued and played :D Our menu for the night was all things vegitarian since Miss Bella is portrayed as a vegitarian in the book... so we had some cheese ravioli in marinara sauce, garlic bread, fruit and salad.

We already can't wait for our next viewing of "New Moon" and for all of you that are Team Jacob... this is YOUR night!
