a birthday’s a birthday…

no matter how small! Hello! Happy Read Across America Day! In case you don’t already know, Read Across America Day is a fun day at school where we get to celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday. I love spending the day reading Seuss books; especially The Lorax. And, it’s the only day of the year that I can wear a “Thing One/Thing Two” shirt! I just had to take a picture using my chalkboard speech bubble (soon to be available for sale)! Anyway, in honor of today, I decided to make some cake pops for my class (of 26 students).
My friend Diana, owner of  Cake Popperie, does some amazing work with cake!Her cake pops are all hand decorated and are simply adorable! You almost feel guilty eating them! Well, she inspired me to make some of my own!!
I didn’t really know what I was getting into when I decided to take on this project. They are a lot of work! Even though they didn’t come out perfectly, like Cake Popperie’s, my second graders didn’t seem to notice. I’m not sure if there will be a next time, but I certainly had fun learning how to make them! Here are some of Diana’s creations that she made for Christmas…I especially love the reindeer with the pretzel antlers!
