I am trying to be a cute little house wife that can whip up a meal or, in this case, a school treat and have it be delicious and nice.
I came up with 3 analogies last night:
1. Pinterest makes everything look a LOT easier than it is in reality.
2. Cooking, cleaning and being a Mother (not to mention adding 2 adorable kiddos to the mix) is not a simple task.
3. Sometimes, it is easier, faster and cheaper to just buy it from the store to begin with. And here is my example of why...
Dax's birthday is in June, so they just pick a random day at preschool to celebrate, since they will be out of school in June. And today was his day. The kid has an obsession with infomercials and one of our most recent purchases was a few Bake Pop Pans. They are pretty awesome actually, that is why I ordered them. I mean, if I ordered everything he asked for from informecials, you would have to put us on Hoarders. Anyway, so we decided to make him some cute Bake Pops. The cakes turned out perfect, they are really easy. But I wanted to dip them in white chocolate for the coating instead of frosting. To make a long story short, when you melt Almond Bark and add food coloring, it does not work out and ends up in the garbage can. Like this....
And if you attempt to make your own frosting from butter and powedered sugar, it doesn't mix well for some unknown reason and turns out like this:
And CLEARLY nobody wants to eat that.
So I went to the store and bought frosting and in the end, it turned out okay and Dax took his bake pops to school, looking like this...
So, it turned out to be a cute, fun and YUMMY snack for him to take. I am getting there.... I think... slowly....
