Confectioning

A very good friend of mine is getting married in September. As a bridesmaid I helped in putting together her bridal shower, which happened today. I have been following some different baking and confection blogs and found some cute ideas that I had to try out for her shower.

My first idea came from Bakerella. These are the Cupcake Pops I created for the shower.

Me wondering what I have gotten myself into...

The finished product turned out good enough for a first-timers try.

And guess what... they were a HIT!

The second treat is an idea I got from a show on TLC called DC Cupcakes.

Aren't they cute!

Mine of course have a twist on the ice cream cone theme, and I chose to make decorative chocolate pieces to top them off.

Nothing like a "sweet" display for a Saturday afternoon.
