Bakerella Strikes Again!

I'm a woman obsessed!

Bakerella posted instructions for some super cute Turkey pops and I decided to give them a try since I don't have a Thanksgiving dinner to cook...

I did change a few things up...

• I used Reeses Peanut Butter Whoopers for the heads instead of espresso beans
• I used candy coated sunflower seeds (check your mall candy store) for the beaks
• I used red fall leaves from the baking aisle for the wobbler

I'm super pleased with how they turned out and I'm thrilled that I already have cupcake pop orders. I've decided my price is $24 a dozen with a minimum order of a dozen.



5 Fat Turkies Are We...



All packaged up with a little bit of korker ribbon...


Here are Bakerella's original turkey pops...

I think I did ok (I just wish I was as good of a photographer!)...

Cupcake Lollipops...

I've been looking for something fun to give as favors at Milla's birthday party... I googled "cupcake lollipops" last night and found Bakerella's website (if you have some time on your hands, enjoy all the wonderful baking goodness her blog has to offer).

Here is the recipe for her Cupcake Pops. She was actually featured on The Martha Stewart Show with these and I can't believe I hadn't heard about them before! They are the PERFECT addition to a cupcake themed birthday party... Now honestly I've never been able to do ANYTHING featured on The Martha Stewart Show (heck usually I don't even know what the ingredients are that she speaks of), but Roger peaked over my shoulder and said "you can do those" when I was gushing over Bakerella's blog... I guess I felt up for a challenge...


I am absolutely DELIGHTED with how they turned out!


Look how precious they look packaged up...


Luckily Roger's work is good about enjoying my craft projects and I have a GCSML Board Meeting tomorrow to take them to as well...


A tower of cupcake fun!


Macro shot...


Now wouldn't you just LOVE to get this for Valentine's Day instead of flowers? YUMMY!


Thank you Bakerella for sharing your adorable cupcake fun!

1st Craft Show...

My first craft show is officially in the books. The good news is...

I made my entrance fee back and some money on top of that, I got some great exposure, worked out all the kinks of loading and unloading for a craft show (hard work... I'm sore today) and I got wonderful feedback about my bows (YAY!)...

Unfortunately, the show was very small (10 vendors) and didn't pull many attendees, so I need to do another show to sell my inventory... hopefully I'll be able to get into one of the holiday shows going on in November.

Here is my new bow display... it's actually a sunglass holder, but it works great for bows...





Here is my booth from the craft show... I was very pleased with the final look... I was suppose to have 2 Christmas trees, but I forgot them at home... I made due just fine without them.My Christmas inventory (the Christmas trees did really well)...

My Halloween and petite bows...So look for more information on other shows coming up...

I should have all my Christmas inventory listed tomorrow and then it'll be time to catch up on my orders from last week.
