French Macarons

My friend Morgan and I made French Macaroons today. They look like tiny little hamburgers! The tops were made from egg white, sugar and almond flour, and you could choose which fillings to put on the inside. We squirted the tops and bottoms out of a pastry bag, and then we would bake them. We tried five different types of fillings: strawberry cream cheese, buttermilk frosting, rhubarb jam, grape jelly, and chocolate mint. The mint won. We did most of the macaroons with the mint, and we did the rest grape jelly. They were really good!

(Green Bay) Packer Pops

Well, since the Superbowl is coming up, I thought we should make something for the party. So, using my new Cake Pops cookbook, I invented something called a Packer Pop.

You start by crumbling a baked yellow cake and mashing in a can of butter-cream-frosting.

Then you make balls out of them.

And insert a lollipop stick that has been dipped in melted candy coating.

Then we dipped them in yellow candy coating and the top in green chocolate and finished it with a white chocolate G. Go Pack Go!
