Cake Pops Are Fun and Easy to Make

The first time I saw cake pops was at the Starbucks Coffee Shop near my home. I saw them standing behind the glass case and my mouth began to water. Oh my, right them and there I knew I had to buy one for myself and my twins. They are the cutiest and petite treats I had ever seen.

So, I bought three cake pops, one with white, chocolate and pink frosting. About a month ago when my parents were in town, my Mom and I went to Bed Bath and Beyond. I was going there to look for the Cake Pop Maker. The one I really wanted was out or stock, so I bought the one for the oven. This one works great for me and probably makes more than the counter top Cake Pop Maker.

I made these Cake Pops, in a variety of designs, for the Calvary Chapel Tracy Women's Christmas Tea, and will make some more, hopefully for Christmas this weekend. They are fun and easy to make, they just take a lot of time.

Well, here are the photos I took of the Cake Pops I made.

If you are like me and love baking, this is probably the most fun you will have baking and a good investment too.

This New LG DoublePlay Is Amazing With It's WideScreen and So Much Mrore

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of LG DoublePlay™ for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

When looking for a new smartphone this Christmas season, the only smartphone you need to look at, and purchase, is the LG DoublePlay™ The LG Doubleplay allows the user, with it's 3.5 main display, to use their new phone independently or tandem, along with using the QWERTY pad and Swype, which allows you to input text and do multi tasking, all at the same time. How cool is that!

If you think this is awesome, you can also check your Facebook account, surf the web and check emails. Oh, and if you love taking photos, this LG Doubleplay has a 5.0 megapixel camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video recorder. These two features are awesome when you want to send photos and video to your Facebook family and friends. This is one amazing package. In fact, there will be no need to have a camera and video recorder anymore. The smartphone, camera and video recorder...are all inclusive.

Have you ever heard of the Cloud Text or Group Text? This is something you will find just as awesome because it gives you the ability to send, and receive, texts from your PC or  tablet, and create group chats...on...the...go...yeah, that is pretty amazing!

Do you like gingerbread? Well now the LG Doubleplay, through Android 2.3, offers you access to the Android Market too. The gingerbread also delivers complete user customization on seven home screens and nine touchscreen shortcuts.

Now, I have already written about how amazing this smartphone is for Facebook, but this phone is also excellent to use with all the social networking you do and when using the multi tasking handset. Oh and do not forget, the QWERTY keypad and duel capacitive touch screens, allowing for all your simultaneous mobile activities.

When looking for this smartphone, you have to look no further than our T-Mobile store. I do not know about you, but I must text over 200 times a month. In fact, I know I do because my it is so much fun and well, my typing has gotten so much better too. So, if you text as much, or more, than I do, this is the phone for you.

Oh, and if you think you will not be able to get on your Facebook, or any other social networking website, have no fear, this can all be accomplished on your new LG DoublePlay...right at your fingertips. 

Instead of me going on and on about this one amazing smartphone, check it out for yourself, right now! I would love to know what you would do with this smartphone, how many hours you spend texting, taking photos, video and of course, talking with friends and family of Facebook.

These Are Scones I Made For The Calvary Chapel Tracy Woman's Christmas Tea

Last year I did not attend my churches Woman's Christmas Tea. This year, not only did I attend, I co-hosted a table with my friend Kristie. We both brought in our tea cups, plates, kettles, platters and I brought in a mini Christmas tree. The Christmas Tea was just delightful and I am so glad I attended this year.

The house certainly was full. It was nice to see so many ladies at the tea this year. I tried inviting a couple of woman, but they flat out did not want to come. I was sad, I mean why pass up on such wonderful fellowship and testimonies on how Christ is working in their lives and how much Jesus loves us (I shrug my shoulders).

Well, any way, along with my co-hosting a table, I made some scones (gingerbread and chocolate chip). The scones I made were a big hit! Yeah, they were gone...every...single....one...of...them...That excited me as they are so easy to make. I found these two recipes online at this one recipe website I have been going to for at least six years now. I was glad to see the ladies enjoying the desserts I made.

Before this Woman's Christmas Tea, I had made scones before. If you read my article from April, on my TwiceBabiesMom blog, during the Royal Wedding, I made scones for my twins and myself. They were a smashing hit in April as well. For the Royal Wedding, my twins and I dressed up, drank tea and eat scones in front of the television in the family room.

But I digress....

It was great to be a part of this year's Calvary Chapel Tracy Women's Christmas Tea. If the tea is around the same time as it was this year, I will do my best to attend and host another table.

 

Oops, I did forget to take photos of my final product,. but they looked just as good as they tasted. I do play to make some more Chocolate Chip Scones soon..
