"ICE CREAM CONE" CAKEPOP


i've seen these made before and have been wanting to get more creative with my cakepops. so, i had the opportunity to do just that for my niece's first birthday. it's simple - i made my red velvet cakepops and put them on ice cream cones instead of a stick.

"ICE CREAM CONE" CAKEPOP
posted on you tube by yoyomax12 on january 17, 2011
  • red velvet cakepop
  • sugar cones (if you can find mini ones, those are great!)
  • candy melts
  • sprinkles, candy, anything you like for decorating
if you are not using mini cones, simply use a serrated knife to cut the regular sized cone into mini versions. i cut about halfway.

after mixing the cake and frosting, mold them into balls and place on top of cut cones. lay on wax paper-lined baking sheet. place into refrigerator for 30 mins.

follow candy melt instructions for preparation. you can add a little canola oil to thin - sometimes the thicker consistency can be difficult to work with. prepare a styrofoam block with plastic wrap for drying. dip set cones in candy melt and place on styrofoam block to dry. sprinkle and decorate as desired.

BESTILLA...MOROCCAN CHICKEN PIE

the first time i had bestilla was at a moroccan restaurant in san francisco, el mansour , which was served family-style. think along came polly -esque, minus the heat and profusely sweating ben stiller. great image to start a recipe entry, right? anyway, this dish is a meal in itself. the middle eastern-spiced chicken is wrapped in flaky phyllo dough and topped with powdered sugar, making it sweet & savory. i will say that this dish is tasking...this is the first time i used phyllo dough and it is incredibly fragile, but so worth it! i think this is one that will be made for special occasions only.

CHICKEN PICCATA & LEMON BRUSSEL SPROUTS

one of my favorite notes in food is sour, usually from lemons. a dish that i think really captures this flavor profile is chicken piccata. i love this and it's incredibly easy to make. the added bonus for me are the capers, which add to the sour note. it seems like there are ways to adjust this recipe by either using white wine and/or garlic, which i may experiment with, especially since i just prepared a julia child's moules a la mariniere recipe that called for these ingredients and it was super delicious (post to follow)! the other, very trendy side i wanted were lemon brussel sprouts. i've had and loved brussels with bacon, but to keep with the lemony theme, i found this extremely delicious recipe! it calls to add cheese, but i was fine without it. these combined may be too much of the same for some, but it is what i considered a perfect homemade meal.

SAUSAGE & KALE STEW WITH OLIVE OIL MASHED POTATOES

mr. miles everett first off, as you can see, i have not been contributing to my poor deprived blog. the last post was in april, which was when i found out i was pregnant with my first baby. a couple things were going on then: 1) i was too nauseous to even think about food (being pregnant is NOT a foodie's friend in the first trimester), then 2) when i finally got my appetite back, all i wanted was take out. i probably won't have time in the new year with a new baby, but i will try to post something at least once a month because blogging about food makes me happy and one of resolutions is to cook more. don't be surprised, however, if my next post are lactation cookies or baby food. anyway…on with my comeback... i found saw this recipe in the november issue of real simple and knew i wanted to make it. i assumed it was something that can be whipped up in a couple hours, but then quickly realized that it was a slow cooker recipe, which would take 8 hours of cooking t...
