Pumpkin Cake Pops

Thanks to my wonderful friend Maggie Habros....I learned to make cake pops. I decided to do pumpkins for the holiday :) Here is how.

First of all you need Cake mix, frosting, cake sticks and candy melts

Bake the cake, let cool and then crumble into a bowl :)

Next take your frosting and mix in with cake. (You will probably need your hands)

After, create golf ball size cake balls

Dip sticks in candy melts and place in balls, and then freeze!!

Once frozen a bit, dip cake pops into candy melts. I just placed in the chocolate and spooned the candy onto the ball.

After the candy has hardened you can do whatever you like

I drew on pumpkin faces

I created a pumpkin patch to place the pumpkins in. It was a different presentation and a better way to transport them. 

Enjoy :]

Homemade doggy costumes and snacks! Its spooktacular!

I thought of a fun way to eat "healthy" on Halloween. I wanted to pack a candy bar in my husbands lunch box, but instead packed the hubby a healthier treat...since he is fruit lover. 

These are the cutie sized oranges...and since you normally dont eat the peel  I just drew pumpkin faces on with a sharpie marker. 


Halloween is such a fun time of year to dress up and be whoever we want and to have fun and over load on my favorite part....CANDY! I made three halloween costumes for the puppies. You can obviously tell I need a child...my poor dogs.

Cody as "Simba" 

Puppies need some holiday love too!!

I get uber excited when pumpkin spice comes back to Starbucks...and why shouldn't the furbabies get to experience some pumpkin goodness when Thanksgiving rolls around. Below is a fantastic and healthy pumpkin biscuit recipe that is sure to please those little four legged puppies you love so much! ;]

                         What you will need to make pumpkin biscuits          

                                                 1/2 cup canned pumpkin

                                                            2 eggs
                                                2 tablespoons dry milk
                                                1/4 teaspoon sea salt
                                            2 1/2 cups brown rice flour *
                                       1 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

In large bowl, whisk together eggs and pumpkin to smooth. Stir in dry milk, sea salt, and dried parsley (if using, optional). Add brown rice flour gradually, combining with spatula or hands to form a stiff, dry dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface (can use the brown rice flour) and if dough is still rough, briefly knead and press to combine.

Roll dough to be about 1/4-1/2 inch and cut out shapes using cookie cutters! Place on baking sheet and cook for 20 mins, remove from oven, flip treats and cook for another 20 mins. Lets treats cool completely before feeding those sweet little poochies! 

Hope they enjoy!! <3
