And he really doesn't even know the difference!

Thanks to bakerella, I decided that for my son's first birthday party tomorrow, I am making cake pops as party favors. Not just cake pops, but farm animal cake pops, since his birthday party invitation says,

"Jack MacDonald is turning one

E-I-E-I-O!

Come and join us for some fun

E-I-E-I-O!"


I had decided I would do cows, pigs, and chicks with chocolate cake, but I couldn't find pink candy melts and then I got a fever and felt horrible, so it's just cows and chicks. Although "cows" might be a loose term here, since I asked my husband what he thought they were and he said, "Pigs. Definitely pigs."I asked Molly what she thought they were and she says, "Piggy!" This is after slaving away over these things for about 2 hours. So you know what? A pig it is! Except for this one, which according to Molly is a "doggy":


How come when Bakerella did it they looked just like cows? Is it the ear placement? Is it the fact that I couldn't find pink M&M's for the nose, so I cut chewy Sweet Tarts in half?


At least the chicks turned out better:


I think they are clearly identifiable!


The funny thing is that I literally spent about 4 hours baking, melting, dipping, cooling, decorating, bagging, and ribbon tying, and the birthday boy doesn't really even know the difference!



Happy Birthday buddy! You are 1 tomorrow!!!

Ella and I are laughing at the piggies! We think they are adorable. We think the nose makes them look like piggies. We can't wait to eat them tomorrow! Happy Birthday to Jack! Love, Nana and Ella
