Halloween Cake Pops

I have been wanting to try my hand at making Cake pops for a while and after seeing some adorable ghost pops at These Peas are Hallow  I knew I had to give it a try,  so I went and referred to the queen of cake pops over at Bakerella and gave the cake pop thing a try.

It was definitely fun, unfortunately I burned my first batch of white chocolate so I did not have many ghost pops but I did get a few other Halloween theme ones done.  I think I made them a little to big, next time I will definitely use a cookie scoop to keep the size even and smaller.  Having said that there will definitely be a next time, they were fun and it is great that they can be made ahead of time, for those events when you dont have much time the day of or day before.

I still need to put them in a better container for display.

the best thing about these is that they can easily be made form boxed cake and icing if you are low on baking supplies you can get the balls made and put in the freezer to set  then all you need in the chocolate melts (you could run out and pick some up while the balls harden up).

Tomorrow I will show you my first attempt at a pillow case dress top all decorated for Halloween.

My favourite diaper bag...

So I was over at  Craft Gossip  before Halloween and saw the cutest little diaper bag made from the babies outgrown overalls and as luck would have it I had a pair sitting at the front door that I loved and was just about to give away so I dragged them down stairs to my machine and pulled up the tutorial over at  Sew and Grow   and shortly their after I had a cute little bag made from a pair of my favourite baby overalls. I love this bag because I attaches to your purse and therefore you only need to throw one bag strap over your shoulder.  it is also great for leaving the little ones at a babysitter, grandma or other spot just unsnap the bag and leave it with them. Finally it can be strapped onto a stroller quickly so you have easy access to the snaks. the only thing I would do different next time and there will be a next time is use a pair of overalls that are not made from a knit fabric that way it will not bulge so much when stuffed full and hold its shape a little better.
