TS and I made these Cake Pops from Bakerella (one of my new favorite websites). These are two of my favorite designs from the whole bunch.
We really had a team effort in making these... turns out I suck at drawing on the pops, but TS apparently had a hidden candy drawing talent (and much more creativity that I would have had, as mine would have all been weird smileys or something). However, TS had some trouble getting the candy coating on the cake balls smoothly, but I was able to handle that part pretty well.
(Doesn't this look like some weird invading army of cake pops?)
We made white ghosts and skulls with chocolate cake inside, and the pumpkins had orange-dyed white cake inside. I used chocolate fudge frosting with the chocolate cake, and orange-dyed white whipped frosting for the white cake. The pumpkins were prettier, I think, but the chocolate ones were tastier.
TS designed one just for me, which is in this photo here. Can you guess which one it is?
If you guessed the Pumpkin Pi, you're right! Yes, I am that dorky. I heart math AND puns. (The bearded guy with glasses in the middle is one of our friends. Everyone knew who it was right away.)
(Mmmm... brains....)
These were the zombie cupcakes I made... red velvet blood cupcakes with cream cheese brain frosting.
Oh yeah... there were some people at this party too. I just happen to be pretty darn proud of these cake pops. They are time-consuming, but now that I think we've got it down, I'll definitely make them again. They were a big hit. But right, the costumes...
Here are TS and I as Jim and Pam from The Office. I had a cardigan on in the beginning of the night which really completed the outfit, but it got a little warm in there with all the people. Two other guests showed up as Dwight and Angela by complete coincidence. This actually came from a photo of all four of us, and yes, we realize now that the "The Office" sign is upside down, and no, I do not know why the photographer didn't tell us that, and no, I was not the one holding the sign. (It was Angela. Maybe it's because she was upset for not being on the planning committee for this party.)
Here I am with two of my favorite people... Mr. and Mrs. Met!
And finally...
