I was really feeling ambitious for Easter projects, so decided to create these…
chick cake-pops – cake on a stick.
These are the originals by Bakerella
These were created by my friend Sue
Pretty impressive, eh? I was inspired, but couldnt find the candy coated chips (used for the beak & wings).
Don't laugh too hard…these are mine
Presentation is everything, right? (that's my son's Easter basket)
My son loved my version and thought they were great, so that's all that really matters. I figure if I keep practising I may be able to produce half decent ones by next Easter…. Have to work on my "dipping" technique. Oh, and I have a year to find those candy coated chocolate chips for the wings & beaks.
Then again, perhaps I should stick to papercrafting.
