Cupcakes for the cake, candy was for the favor bags. Purple: Sixlets, peeps, gumballs, laffy taffy. Also in the favor bags was Purple; neckalce, wand, nailpolish. We read the book, painted our own purple painting just like Purplicious and played, Purplicious says.<br />

Second time I was hired to make these tutu's for a wedding! Arn't they so precious! I love them!</div>

So in October, before we moved to a new place, a friend was giving away stuff during her move and I got this piece! We have a little TV for our basement and no stand for it since our last 2 place's happened to have a pre-built-in spot for it. I had been wanting to try a new project for a while now and this free item was the perfect thing to try it on before I move on to other furniture.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first thing I did was take a degreaser to the whole thing to remove any dirt and build up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uVnQLv4od_k/TwttGx44nII/AAAAAAAAE3w/OxdF8SSnP_A/s1600/January_3806_edit+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="292" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uVnQLv4od_k/TwttGx44nII/AAAAAAAAE3w/OxdF8SSnP_A/s400/January_3806_edit+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I painted it with my favorite go to paint, BEHR. I used Pale Wheat in Satin. The coolest part was I got to use my sisters paint gun and it made painting it go by a lot faster! I now have decided that I need my own smaller version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ij14lDJu0DU/TwttITlIfnI/AAAAAAAAE34/JIge6Xqg378/s1600/January_3790_edit+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ij14lDJu0DU/TwttITlIfnI/AAAAAAAAE34/JIge6Xqg378/s400/January_3790_edit+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Next, using BEHR finishing glaze and mixing it with some dark walnut stain. I brushed the glaze over each section, like so.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pVk4o4zefrI/TwttKzU79YI/AAAAAAAAE4A/OtrCUkpCzzI/s1600/January_3796_edit+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pVk4o4zefrI/TwttKzU79YI/AAAAAAAAE4A/OtrCUkpCzzI/s400/January_3796_edit+copy.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take an old cotton t-shirt and immediately wipe away. Leave dark in the cracks and giving the whole project a worn antique look.</div>

FINISHED! Except that the glass broke 10min before I went to put it in. So now I guess I have to replace that, most likely I will frost the glass too! Maybe a future pictures is on its way.<br />

Its an expensive investment, so slow and steady. Now I'm saving for classes and a nice lens. </p><p>Now, I've learned about my camera, taught myself about Exposure, Aperture, ISO, yada yada, but you still need time and experience. But I was an idot and offered to take my cousins engagement pictures to help on cost. Little did I know that she would take me up on it and I found myself taking their pictures a week later. Luckily we now live close to a cousin who gave me a crash course in Photoshop the day before!

Then stick into the cake pop.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598139062452583858" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-RlLDs0jUHxE/TbCV0Sy5fbI/AAAAAAAAD48/GYc8WioMG2Q/s400/IMG_2681.JPG" />. <img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT: 0px" align="left" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4444835734_fcae5010ef_o.png" />Peterson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16560523978273973825noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63202676891344670.post-68745455010353942242011-04-20T20:57:00.000-07:002011-04-20T21:20:19.715-07:00Easter Nests again.<p>So I posted this last year, but didn't included the recipe. Next year Im going to combine a few different recipes I found, because all though these look more like nests then some of the others out there, I feel like the flavor can be improved upon. I found a great one that uses marshmallows and butter! So stayed tuned next year!<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597884718579836322" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DNyLHS3x1xo/Ta-ufiCJ5aI/AAAAAAAAD4U/Z2ou-c6805Q/s400/IMG_2691.JPG" /></p><br /><p>16 - 20 oz chocolate (i used bakers semi sweet)</p><br /><p>1 C.

How could I turn her down right? And for her present, what else, a cake of course. I called her mom to see if I could make it and asked if the party had a theme, Glee. What is a 12 year old is doing watching Glee, don't ask me, I just make the cakes! I wanted to keep it one layer and simple, but wasn't sure what to do so I googled it and stole a couple ideas to combine together.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-eisX32RM6jc/Tajj4Gt-tMI/AAAAAAAAD3M/_ZX_bfKqVUE/s1600/IMG_2629.JPG"><br /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sy_-QYZu-LI/TajmPctsyFI/AAAAAAAAD3c/8PB44RmX74k/s1600/IMG_2633.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Sy_-QYZu-LI/TajmPctsyFI/AAAAAAAAD3c/8PB44RmX74k/s400/IMG_2633.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595975690088138834" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-srQCeX_t768/TajmPDCLtVI/AAAAAAAAD3U/I77DyTDFk-c/s1600/IMG_2632.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-srQCeX_t768/TajmPDCLtVI/AAAAAAAAD3U/I77DyTDFk-c/s400/IMG_2632.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595975683194729810" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qReYYwdD2AQ/Tajj3iQmIsI/AAAAAAAAD3E/mNwME3-D_2g/s1600/IMG_2631.JPG"><br /></a>Peterson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16560523978273973825noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63202676891344670.post-48745129684204985672011-04-12T15:23:00.000-07:002011-04-12T15:39:34.799-07:00Daisy Wedding Cake<div style="text-align: center;">This cake not only looks good, its taste good.

<br />
So I made these last year with the brownie mold, but this time I thought I could make them better with cake balls.<br />
<br />
What you need:<br />
Cake balls (one cake mix baked, crumbled, and mixed with a tube or home made cream cheese frosting)<br />
Melted chocolate for candy dipping<br />
Fondant (or green licorice)<br />
Mini M&Ms<br />
Fudge Striped cookies<br />
<br />
I rolled my cake balls into the size and shape of large marshmallows. Then stuck them in the freezer while I prepared everything else.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbFYq-Cihns/TYEAjYU_lbI/AAAAAAAADts/zU0W1Ki-pIc/s1600/IMG_2412.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584745620742051250" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbFYq-Cihns/TYEAjYU_lbI/AAAAAAAADts/zU0W1Ki-pIc/s400/IMG_2412.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
I cut strips of green fondant. I didn't measure exactly I just did what I thought looked good on the hat. I guess about 5 inch x 3/8 inch.<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ts6bH8FAF1k/TYEAkSZ1pVI/AAAAAAAADt8/pCD9PSjSAdE/s1600/IMG_2413.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584745636331627858" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ts6bH8FAF1k/TYEAkSZ1pVI/AAAAAAAADt8/pCD9PSjSAdE/s400/IMG_2413.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a>Melted my chocolate<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yEiM43pxwYg/TYEAj1UXj-I/AAAAAAAADt0/GJqt0-Dr4A0/s1600/IMG_2414.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584745628524056546" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yEiM43pxwYg/TYEAj1UXj-I/AAAAAAAADt0/GJqt0-Dr4A0/s400/IMG_2414.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
Got out my M&Ms, cookies.<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h0NcaUe0p5M/TYECIRLAc0I/AAAAAAAADuE/PG7h1jITSEo/s1600/IMG_2417.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584747353987904322" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h0NcaUe0p5M/TYECIRLAc0I/AAAAAAAADuE/PG7h1jITSEo/s400/IMG_2417.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 267px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /></a><br />
I found the best way to dip is to have the name brand with the holes. That way I can dip the cake ball on a stick, lightly tap off excess chocolate then bring the cookie up around the stick and pull the stick out. It keep the process easy and a lot less messy.<br />
Then you can wrap the fondant around (when the chocolate is still wet or after its cooled, doesn't matter)<br />
Last, use a toothpick to dab some chocolate on the M&M and stick it on!<br />

Whip cream until stiff peaks form. Combine with cream cheese mixture, stir until blended. Frost middle, top and sides of cake<br /><br />Crumb Topping:<br />Combine flour and powdered sugar, add butter and dribble in the vanilla. Cut in butter with Pie cutter or 2 knives. Do not press together. Should be crumbly no bigger than a pea. Sprinkle over the top and press into sides. Chill for 3 hours.<br /><br />Now, I like a THICK middle layer of frosting just like the olive garden so my trick is to spread it an inch thick, place the top layer of the cake on top, wrap it in WAX paper and stick it in the freezer for 30 min - 1 hour, THEN finish frosting the rest (olive garden doesn't frost the top but I like too) and sprinkle crumb topping over.<br />The cake I pictured here is actually just a 6 inch cake. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-poKds5o3qqE/TWKMOYHmaQI/AAAAAAAADsE/aFIWwyEleJI/s1600/IMG_2250.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-poKds5o3qqE/TWKMOYHmaQI/AAAAAAAADsE/aFIWwyEleJI/s400/IMG_2250.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576173467258480898" border="0" /></a><p><img style="border: 0pt none;" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4003/4444835734_fcae5010ef_o.png" align="left" /></p>Peterson'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16560523978273973825noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-63202676891344670.post-24796129101465174822011-02-14T08:21:00.000-08:002011-02-14T08:35:42.663-08:00V-day cardSo after making the footballs, I graduated on to the Cupcake Pops, I found these on Bakerella and thought they were so cute.
