She and the other girls from Papertrey Ink make beautiful paper creations and include templates and instructions for a lot of them. The boys and I made these paper beads and they were super-cool!

I am no pastry chef...far from it, but some of the cakes that people not only make, but try to sell...WOW! Some of the cakes on this blog are works of art, while most are, well, wrecks. I think this is supposed to be an Easter bunny.
http://www.bakerella.blogspot.comHave you ever had cakeballs? I had never heard of them until a friend introduced me to these little pieces of heaven on earth. What you do is make a cake according to the box (who makes homeade cakes anymore!?), wait until it cools, and then mush it all up in a big bowl. After the cake is destroyed, add a can of frosting and stir it all up. I used my hands and then I licked off the cake/icing mixture...AWESOME!!! (BY this time, my six year old son Daulton was so "disgusted" by my behavior that he had to leave the kitchen!) Chill the mixture and roll it into balls. Then dip the balls into melted white chocolate. Bakerella makes hers into beautiful cupcake pops. Mine were not pretty at all, but, boy, they sure taste awesome!
