- Cakepop didn't start out in perfect sphere shape. I'm anal and this didn't sit well with me, but I forged on.
- Cakepop was too big/heavy which meant it didn't really want to stay on the stick and started breaking apart. The consistency was off from the beginning.
- Red candy melts don't really look red, which was just weird.
- I still never found the perfect candy for Elmo's eyes and that bugged me too.
- Did you know that edible ink markers do not like to write on white chocolate chips? Lesson learned.
- Did you know that adding coloring to candy melts totally f's up the consistency and you have to put shortening (not oil - the white Crisco stuff) in to get it back? I learned this the hard way too.
- Candy melts consistency was way too thick and, um, just looked wrong. Like Elmo was wearing a severely misshapen head. It was just wrong. Oh very wrong.
I'm posting this now so I don't have to dwell on this tomorrow.
On the upside, the Cookie Monster cupcake turned out pretty well. Yay me.

Um, yeah, I'm gonna need to see photos.
I agree... need to see pics! CakeWrecks need them! =) Hey, you are seriously a Super Mama for even trying. For Real!
Glad the cupcakes turned out cute! I'm sure the party will go great tomorrow. Ricky is such a little charmer!!! =) Give him a big smooch from Adam and I!
I wouldn't even have attempted - you're already a domestic goddess in my book for trying!
The cookie monster cupcakes ROCKED :) you did great!
Thanks for your comment!
Actually, our Doc did give Adam antibiotics TWICE when he didn't need them... once when they thought he had a staph infection (culture was negative) and once when they thought he had an upper. resp. inf. (but he had roseola -- an awful virus -- instead). So now *I* always question giving him the meds. At least he actually took the chidren's midol this time willingly -- said it tasted like a lollipop -- yay!
Are you able to come to his party next Tuesday 3/23? Would love to have you and Ricky! =)
