Lemony Deliciousness...

So, since I got a new, nicer apartment, I've been doing more entertaining.  One of those included having the family over for Father's Day.

My dad loves lemon.  So I figured I'd hunt down a lemon dessert that would make him happy.  I mean, it was Father's Day after all. 

And I found this. 

The Beachy Days of Summer...

Bakerella is one of my favorite blogs.  And so when I got my Nook and downloaded her cookbook, I was seriously inspired to try out this cake pop thing.

So fun!  A great opportunity to really get creative.

As it happened, I was heading down to the family beach house for Memorial Day weekend, and really, who better to be the guinea pigs for my experiment in cake pops than the family?

Given that I was heading to the shore, I figured I'd do a beachy type them.  Blue candy coating for water, crushed graham cracker crumbs for sand, covering a vanilla cake mixed with cream cheese frosting.

Delectable, even if they were so not bathing suit friendly.
