Happy Easter everyone!  It was my job to bring cupcakes to this year’s Easter party.  Cupcakes are tasty, but I really wanted to do something different this year.  I’ve been seeing blogs featuring cake pops for over a year now and thought I’d give them a try.

What is a cake pop you say?  Basically its a mixture of cake and icing dipped in candy melts.  You can find the tutorial by the creater of cake pops here on Bakerella:  http://www.bakerella.com/hope-these-put-a-smile-on-your-face/ Take some time to browse her blog.  People get really creative with these things.

Was this a quick and easy project?  No.  Was it super fun for the little and me to do together?  Yes!  What 4 year old wouldn’t love mushing together cake and icing with their bare hands?

Did you do anything creative for Easter?  Please share in the comments.  I’d love some ideas for next year.

I’m not sure if anyone else does this, but for our family holiday parties the kids break open a pinata.  Usually, someone will buy one at the store and all the kids will take a crack at it.  This Easter, two of my aunts really out did themselves.  They made a pinata for each kid.  I was amazed at what they could do with balloons, paste, newspaper, and crepe paper.  Each balloon had a unique design made out of crepe paper.  When it was Hana’s turn at bat I was hoping that she wouldn’t want to break it.  She, of course, cracked it open and candy flew everywhere.  Sadly the pinata was destroyed.  At least there was Kit Kats inside.  Mmmmmm, Kit Kats.
