Spiderman cake pops/chocolate lollipops

Hey everyone. I wanted to post these cool cakepops I made this past weekend. At first I was not sure how they were going to come out but than they look pretty cool.  Of course they are not all the same since they were all hand-drawn.

I also made the chocolate lollipops. 

I hope you enjoy my post today. 

Thank you for visiting. 

Bakerella PA book signing

Happy New Year everyone!!!

I'm so glad that I have a blog which I'm able to keep record my life and the great moments in it. And here is a moment that I will forever remember.  Back when hurricane sandy was around and we were left with  no power for over 1 week I decided to drive to PA to meet Bakerella since her NJ book signing was canceled to do the flooding. I had such an awesome time and I was glad that I took that trip. I been waiting to meet her for over 2 years now, to be exact ever since I started this blog. She is my inspiration in all my cake popping and I enjoy all her posts. :0) Se recently posted a few pictures of the book signing. It was a fun day and unforgettable memory. (I should really scrapbook this event and perhaps send it to her) :0)  Besides her signing our books we also signed hers. Can you see my signature on the left side ??? 

Here it is Bakerella & Docerela 

Be sure to hop on over to Bakerella site to view her recent post. 

She is such a wonderful person. 

Brigadeiro recipe

Hi everyone!

Thank you for visiting my baking blog. Here is the recipe 

Here's what you will need: 

•  4 tablespoons of Nestle chocolate or strawberry milk powder mix
•  1 can of sweetened condensed milk (your choice of brand) 
•  1 tablespoon unsalted butter
•  Your choice of sprinkles 

  Cooking Instructions:

• put roughly 2 tablespoons of butter to melt in the pan
• set the stove top to medium-low
• once the butter is melted, add a whole can of condensed milk
• now you will add the chocolate; 
• stir with the wooden spoon; you will need to stir for at least 10 -15  minutes and it can take as long as 25 minutes; stir in circular movements and make sure you get the Brigadeiro from the sides so it does not stick there and burn
• the Brigadeiro will get thicker and thicker and will reduce in volume
• you know it is ready when a) you divide it in half with the spoon and it stays parted for a few seconds) scoop some brigadeiro with the wooden spoon, turn the spoon upside down, and it holds there for an instant before falling back into the pan; 
• when your Brigadeiro is ready, spread the content of the pan on a plate and put it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to an hour; you want it nice and firm before you roll it in balls
• to make the little balls, spread a little bit of butter in your hands and make sure to get your fingers; using a small spoon, scoop some Brigadeiro, put it in your hands, and roll it in a little ball
• roll the ball on the chocolate sprinkles to cover it completely
• place your brigadeiro in a banking cup
• repeat--should yield about 25 Brigadeiros
• put Brigadeiros in the fridge for about 15-30 minutes to make them firmer

Bakerella book signing & giveaway

Hi everyone.... it's been so long I posted anything on my baking website. That's because I been a little busier with my stamp line and crafting things. Anyways... this past week we had a hurricane disaster here in NJ and we had no power for over 1 week. Bakerella book signing in NJ was cancelled due to the power outage. With that said, I been wanting to meet her for over two years and I didn't want to miss that chance. So I drove to PA about 1 hour and 45 minutes. With all the excitement and joy of meeting Bakerella,  the ride was not so bad. I needed some off from all the chaos. 

Here are some pictures of the book signing. 

King of Prussia mall. It is HUGE!!

 I have never been to a book signing so I didn't know what to expect. I thought it was going to be a quick sign and NEXT.  But not Bakerella, she make sure she chatted a little bit with each individual person. 

As I sat down, I intrude myself, Hi I'm Catarina from NJ. Right away she knew who I was. Its so wonderful to know that she takes time to know each fan individually. We had a great chat and she made sure that this moment was going to be remembered.  I always admired her, she is always smiling and always friendly. 

Here she is signing both books :0) We also signed her book. How thoughtful of her.  As I walked out of the store I also meet Kim and her family with KC Bakes. They have the best cakepops stands out there. I'm yet to try it but I hear great feedback. Be sure to check out Kim's blog here, she also has a giveaway on her blog. 

After the book signing.  Bakerella did a little intro on her cakepops with most of the supplies she used for the new book.  It was super fun, I made sure that I stook around. It's not like I have Bakerella to hang out with all the time, so why not. 

After all the questions being answered, she took a few more pictures with everyone.

Did I bored you yet?? Sorry for the long post. But this was a very exciting day for me. 

Now, how about some fun for you?  Today I'm giving one of Bakerella book has a giveaway. This is for the one that didn't make it to her book signing.
