]]> Blue Ombre Petal Cake

Stunning, isn’t it?
I made this beautiful cake for my sons 9th {sigh}Birthday.
IMG_4544
Usually he gets a themed cake, like the soccer cake  or the Sponge Bob cake, but I just was too busy this year to get all fancy for a more in-depth cake, so this is what he got.
He thought it was cool, and that’s all that matters.

Petal Cake

I posted a photo of it on Instagram (follow me at Hungryhousewife) and Facebook and everyone loved it. I got emails requesting a tutorial and y’all know I aim to please.
Pretty sure I got all the tutorial bases covered, a video, on the cake and just icing. I hope you all find it useful!

And if you are short on time and don’t feel like watching the video, here is a photo tutorial.
What you will need

  • Crumb Coated Cake
  • Pastry Bag
  • #12 Tip
  • Icing, your choice of color
  • Off-set spatula or small spoon

For the Ombre effect, take graduating color frosting with a #12 tip.

Pipe a vertical line of icing dots. If doing the Ombre effect, start with the lightest icing first.

Place the off-set spatula in the middle of the dot, press down and drag.

Continue around the cake

****I forgot to show how to “end” the cake. When you get to the end, just pipe the final vertical line of dots and don’t swipe. This will be the back of your cake. It really is not even that noticeable.*****

And if you want to see it off the cake..I got that for you too (not the ombre effect)!

]]> Samoa Rice Krispie Treats

Sup? Well, my adorable little niece did it again this year.

Samoa Rice Krispie Treats

In her cute little voice on the telephone..

“Aunt Leslie, this is Sarah, would you like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies?”

Me- Place phone on mute….in my most annoyed voice..”$$%*&(*&&&&, (**%^%$^&^&(,FAT,^*((*&%%####,cellulite,%%$$%*** ”

Me- un-mute phone, “Well, yes Sarah, you know I will buy some Girl Scout Cookies from you.”
Samoa Rice Krispie Treats

How can one say no? I mean, we all know I have no will power.

So I sit here with 2 boxes of Samoas, 2 boxes of Thin Mints(now in the freezer) and 2 boxes of Trefoils. I can’t have that kind of stuff laying around the house. There is a reason I don’t buy cookies at the store…plain and simple. I. WILL. EAT. THEM!

Remember this video from my last Girl Scout Cookie Rant?

Samoas are my weakness. So I had to come up with a remedy to get rid of them. If I knew I had a box, I would gooble them right up.
I knew I had to put them in something. I had a big ol box of Rice Krispies in the pantry.
The Samoas found a new home….chopped up in the Rice Krispie Treats.

OH YES I DID!

]]> Cream Chease and guava Hand Pies

I am sooooo sorry for keeping this recipe from you for so long.
It’s almost two years old. I developed the recipe, took the photo and made the video back in 2009 for a little cream cheese contest I entered.
And I forgot about it. SHAME.ON.ME

It’s ok to slap me. I deserve it.

These are so easy and so quick to make. Like seriously easy and quick….watch the video, you will see just how simple they are.

Onto the yum-a-licious recipe.
