Too Darned Stinkin' Cute

Help me.  I've developed an addiction and I cannot stop.  I've been baking almost every day off for the last two weeks.  It all started with two new blogs I've fallen into following: PioneerWoman and Bakerella, who were so dastardly as to team up and teach me about fondant.  Then Bakerella showed me these cute cake pops, and I cannot stop!

Anyway, here's what I've accomplished.  Ok, it's not everything I accomplished.  I had to give some away before I ate them and didn't take pictures, but trust me, they were cute.  Of course, not a cute as the original artist can do, but hey, I'm a novice here...


Fondant-covered cupcakes.  Too cute.


And the bow!  Honestly, I don't know what got into me.

But I hope it doesn't go away soon, 'cause this is just too precious.

The whole gang.  Yes, it took me all evening to make these eight.  
J had to make dinner, I was so obsessed.

And the cake pops.

I'll admit, I felt a little odd putting the plastic bag over this cute guy's head, but he just kept smiling, so I guess it's ok.

So, now I'm faced with another dilemma: I have a house full of sweet, sugary goodness, but not only are they too cute to eat, my waistline can't afford the calories!  If you can't help me with my addiction, please come by and help me reduce my surplus.  Of course, you'll have to come here; I can't leave the kitchen.  (At least I'm required to go to work tomorrow, so I should see the light of day soon.)

This is great. I forwarded these links to a couple friends that I was talking to about fondant just this morning. Far too bakbitious for me though. too cute. no really it's too cute- you must stop.

Wow! That's pretty good Kristina! I know working with fondant is challenging, atleast that is what the woman who did my wedding cake said to me when I asked her for a fondant icing on my wedding cake, she did it and I was so happy with it, and now I know just how talented you are. I love the polka-dot one and the daisy--they look fun AND Yummy!

So this is what you've been doing!

I suppose the word processor can't keep you all to himself, he has to share you with the kitchen and, from what I hear, the sewing machine (not to mention the oncology floor and the husband).

They are cute. But even if I were local, I couldn't afford the calories, either. That's one reason I don't bake.

that looks so good! I'm sure they taste as good as they look too! Whenever I bake too much, I usually send extras to my work or N's work.

My co-workers took sadistic delight in biting off the little smiley heads.
