DIASTER IN THE KITCHEN

My not so little girl graduated from preschool today. I can't believe it. She had already started her Kindergarten countdown. Why am I telling you this? I signed up to bring dessert to her after graduation party. When I sign up for anything (especially dessert) I like to take something extra special and not just the ordinary. So for her graduation party I decided I was going to make these pudding cups (click HERE to see). They looked simple enough and had the "WOW" factor I like. Oh boy, what did I get myself into. They turned into the biggest kitchen disaster to date. Balloons started popping and chocolate got everywhere. My sister said, "I hope you got pictures!" and I did go for the camera, but my wonderful hubby had taken it with him to work - dang-it! After an hour of recovery (which included a load of laundry), I decided to make cake ball. AND because of Grocery Smarts, I had everything I needed on hand. AWESOME!!!


The original idea comes from Bakerella. They always have a HUGE "WOW" factor so I don't know why strayed away. I am still trying to perfect this little guys. I have to say this is my best batch. If you have never heard of Bakerella and her famous cake pops, then don't waste another minute and hop on over. She makes a ton of different versions of Cake Ball, some that will blow you away.
