Alyssa is at Grandmom’s house until tomorrow afternoon, and while she was gone I took the time to make some Hello Kitty cake pops! Prior to this little adventure I have never thought outside the box — literally! I make food from bags, boxes, cans and recipes, and the same certainly goes for cakes, cupcakes, brownies and the like — this is the first time I’ve made something that isn’t initially put together by Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker.

Anyway, for a first-time try, and having to use a tube of black icing instead of an edible black marker (I purchased one, but it didn’t want to write on the surface of the hardened candy melts), I think they came out pretty damn good! (Of course, they might have come out a little better if I wasn’t distracted in between the steps by some writing on drug rehab I had to do, but alas, work does come before play!)

I know Alyssa is going to go nuts when I give them to her. I can’t wait.

P.S. If you’re sleepy and Advil PM or Melatonin don’t work? Try reading over USA.gov… it’s a nice boring read! Zzz…
