Pie Pops

My friend and I made some pie pops! We found the recipe from Bakerella; click here for the link. However due to time constraints, we used already made pie crust/dough and a can of cherry pie filling. Oh, we also used those green foams that you use for floral arrangements to stick the pie pops on to while it cooled and we needed the baking pan for the next batch. Since the green foam worked so well with cake pops, I figured it would be good for pie pops too.

It was truly so easy to make. You just need a baking pan, parchment paper, lollipop sticks, pie crust dough, pie filling, a circle cutter, some flour for dusting, egg whites and a baking brush to coat the top.

We cut out many circles:

Ready to go in the oven! Yes we put a bit to much of pie filling but we got a lot better by the 4th batch. ;)

Fondant Lego Topper Cupcakes

How I pipe frosting on cupcakes. It is super easy and practically fool-proof. =)

With a large star tip, pipe a ring around the cupcake like this:

Then pipe a smaller ring in the middle. When you get to the center, dip the tip down a bit, then lift up and stop squeezing the piping bag. Done!

I made these Lego toppers with fondant. I rolled it out to the thickness of a real Lego, and cut into desired size. I turned the real Lego upside down and imprinted where the dots will be on top of the fondant Lego. I re-rolled the fondant to a thin layer to make the dots. I used a #5 piping tip as my cutter to get little circles. I rolled each one, and pressed into the imprint on the fondant. If it doesn't stick, use a little dab of water (from a clean small paintbrush) to "glue" it together.

      

Homemade Jamba Juice

I made Caribbean Passion Jamba Juice (my favorite) in my own kitchen! It tastes good too. I followed a recipe I found online.

What you need:

• 2 Cups of Frozen Strawberries
• 1 Cup of Frozen Peaches, chopped
• 2 Cups of Orange Sherbet
• 1 Cup of Ice, crushed
• 12 ounces of Passion Mango Juice
• Blender
• Cup
• Straw

• Add 12 Ounces of Passion Mango Juice to the blender.
• Add the 2 cups of Orange Sherbet. 
• Add the fruits - 2 Cups of Frozen Strawberries and 1 Cup of frozen chopped Peaches. 
• Add the 1 Cup of Chopped Ice to the blender.
• Blend ingredients for about 20 seconds on a medium intensity, then 10 seconds on a high intensity. Your goal is to blend the smoothie until it swirls around in the blender without any chunks.
• Once your smoothie appears "smooth", it's time to enjoy your homemade Jamba Juice. Poor the smoothie into your cup, stick your straw in the cup, and drink your refreshing Caribbean Passion!
