I got balls…

This 'n' That

Online Extravaganza November 21 – 28 ~ Don't Miss It!

Thanksgiving Cake Pop Balls Display Diana Gibbs

…cake pop balls that is.

Remember when I had my Country INKers Spring Retreat last year and I had these adorable cake pops made?

Country INKers Spring Retreat 2016 Cake Pops Diana Gibbs

Chickens and Ducks…so adorable.

Kim Barrett and I - Cake Pop 101 class

Well this very talented lady made them. This is Kim Barrett and she has a FaceBook page called Cakepops 101 and she teaches classes in Chandler, so my buddy Melissa and I took her Thanksgiving class tonight.

Cake Pops 101 Class

I had tried to make them years ago when the cabinets were installed in my studio, we had like a grand re-opening kinda thing and OMG! they looked ok and were delicious but they were hard to do. So I totally wanted to learn from the best. We each had a set of tools and off we went.

Rolled balls

Rollin' rollin' rollin…I got my balls all rolled.

Balls on a stick

Then I got them on their stick. That was the easy part.

My cake pop balls all ready to dip

Don't I look so proud? I did that. No mess either. Ok…I did wear gloves at first but then I took them off when I saw that it was not that messy…and we did wash our hands…and I am making them for my guys…we have all the same germs right?

Dipped cake pops

Here they were after rolling in the melted chocolate and before being decorated.

Duds

Some didn't make it…rats I had to eat the evidence. Not as bad as Lucy and the candy balls. Plus a couple were saved for the piece de resistance – la turkeys…that is french not Turkeys from LA.

Making our turkeys

We made adorable turkeys and these were so fun.

Turkey cake pops

Gobble till you wobble…well I did eat a couple duds and the yummy sugar cookies Kim made us. I won't sleep for a while.

Making centerpiece

We wrapped them up and put them in these cute little buckets for a Thanksgiving centerpiece. I was surprised they all fit. But thank goodness I had eaten those couple or it could have been a disaster.

Mel and I with our finished displays

Melissa and I and our precious Cake Pop Displays. I even wore my apron that Leslie made me just in case there was chocolate flying…Mel can be a wild cook…ha! I love all Kim's platters and tiers behind us.

Ride home

All snug in the cupholder so they don't go flying around in my car on the way home. I can't wait till the guys see them tomorrow. I have them hidden in my studio so they don't eat any for breakfast.

Even with my sugar buzz I better hit the hay…I can always read a bit till I get sleepy. I have stopped reading Outlander for a while and am reading a Black Dagger Brotherhood book.

Have an awesome Wednesday and thanks for stopping in.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
