Why on earth would I be showing you my 4th grade picture? Circa — (um) 60s. More pathos to come in the next day or two…

speaking of yellow…

It happens to be my favorite color. Not lemon yellow, yellow ocher. You can’t tell from the previous photo because I got all artsy with it but this image shows what I mean.

I’ve been working in ceramics for awhile now. It’s not an easy medium to master! I love porcelain best and I’m happy to say I’ve found a way to get my favorite color in the pieces I’m doing now. The color

They are quite thin as is evidenced by the broken bowl. But it’s how I love porcelain best. I’m reminded of the fragile teacups my grandmother had…

I don’t know what sort of pod these seeds come from but their fuzzy, yellow, scrumptious make them an inspiration…

If there were a congregation of yellow hedgehogs watching the sun rise, don’t you think they’d look like this?

Cakepop conspiracy

Another treat for Hannah’s friends were these cake pops. They taste exactly like those from Starbucks! However, I’ve talked to lots of people who are under the impression that the pops need a special pan. That’s where the conspiracy comes in! I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to buy a special pan. As a matter of fact, those pans might lead to an inferior pop that’s too cakey.

We simply baked a box cake in a regular cake pan, waited for it to cool then mixed in the cream cheese frosting to make a dough. Then we rolled the dough into little balls and dipped them in white chocolate (the disk type).

Another tip, make sure the dough is well chilled when they’re dipped so they hold together. Then chill them right after so they don’t crack from expansion. CINCH-Y and affordable treats!

PS, how cute are those edible gold stars?!?!

Merry Christmas!

Hannah and I made these porcelain “thumbprint” snowmen for her friends. I got to keep the one with the crack :)
