Meeting Miss Bakerella

Thanks for stopping by! Because it's a new year, I have a list of new books to read and projects to try. Here is my book of the day:

It's written by one of my favorite bloggers, Bakerella.

She makes the cutest treats, throws really fun contests

and is such a nice gal -- no wonder she's gaining

all this success! Clap, clap, clap!

Here she is, Angie Dudley, also known as Bakerella.

I met her at her book signing event in New York City.

She makes these adorable cake pops:

And without sticks, they're called cake balls.

These were served at the event {take note of

the edible silver & gold paint}:

One is chocolate and the other, red velvet.

Yummy bites of joy!

I had to make these myself!

I used a boxed cake mix & ready-to-spread frosting

{No shame in that! Bakerella even encourages it},

plus some dark and white chocolate chips hanging

out in the pantry.

TADA! My black & white cake bites!

Scrumptious vanilla cake inside a chocolate shell.

I can't wait to make the character cake pops!

Oh la la!
