Apples for the Teachers

My Spice goes to a school for children with autism and other special needs. The "teachers" are actually all behavior analysts who love these kids so much. They really appreciate how long it takes my Spice, and the other students, to reach a goal, and how those goals have to be broken down in to dozens of tiny steps. So a plain old apple to say thank you just doesn't suffice. Today we sent in apple cake pops, made with strawberry flavored cake. I'm so glad I made extras to "taste test." ;)

Little Pumpkins

This year instead of doing cupcakes for my Spice's school Halloween party, I changed things up a bit and decided to do pumpkin cake pops! Plan A was for them to be jack-o-lanterns with black eyes and mouths, but the Wilton Food Writer pens just don't seem to agree with the candy melts...they just carve instead of write. So on to Plan B, plain old fat pumpkins!

With the orange flavored cake and the white chocolate coating, they tasted like delicious orange creamsicles. Needless to say, all the extras were eaten within hours by myself and Mr. Sugar & Spice. =)
