Chocolate Brownies
  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt together butter and chocolate chips at 30 second intervals. Make sure to stir in between each interval.
  3. Add white sugar, vanilla, and salt to butter mixture. Stir to combine, then mix in eggs one at a time.
  4. Fold in flour and mix until just combined. Fill greased brownie pop mold with batter all the way to the tops of the mold and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Royal Icing
  1. Whisk together meringue powder and powdered sugar until combined. Add in water 1 T at a time, beating with an electric mixer after each addition. Mix in black gel food color to achieve a dark gray. I found to get the perfect warm gray for Pusheen, it also helps to add in 1 drop of brown gel food color if you have it on hand.

Mini Versions of Popular and Famous Cakes!

September 3, 2017

Helllooo there! Today we have round two of mini cakes, and this time we’re taking on some of the most popular and famous bakes out there! I had lots of fun baking up and decorating these guys, and I hope you enjoy them!

Supply List — some helpful stuff for making these

  • Mini Cake Pan — this might technically be mainly for chocolate, but it’s oven-safe and great for cake too!
  • Candiquik — this is my FAVORITE for dipping/drizzling/etc. You do have to color it yourself with oil-based food color since it only comes in white and chocolate, but I promise you it is 1000000o% worth it! It’s perfect melting consistency right out of the package, and there’s no need to add canola oil or paramount crystals to thin it. And it comes in a microwave-safe tray. And you can usually find it at Safeway and Target in the baking aisle. Need I say more? ?
  • Oil-based food color set — for coloring the Candiquik
