Shots all around!

So I know I have mentioned before that sometimes I will completely forego the baking of the cupcake and just whip up some frosting in order to "practice" my piping skills. Well I usually wind up eating most of it right off the wax paper, which gave me an idea (and something to "google"). Low and Behold I am apparently way late to this party...

Frosting Shots..

How perfect would this be at a shower, or when you have girlfriends over for Happy Hour drinks???? No cupcake necessary (ideal in a time crunch or last minute get together!)

A few inspiration "shots", I am hoping to work with for the upcoming shower Mom and I are throwing








I have the Baking Itch bad today, and I may be getting in way over my head, however The shower Mom and I are planning is "Parisian Inspired", and I am dying to make a Laduree style macaroon (yes I did say I was in over my head) and package a few up in clear containers with a big bow to hand out as favors.


Have any of you dolls every made these? Do you have an inspiring, easy recipe? Tips or Tricks (to me it looks potentially disastrous!) Do I need to turn right around and stick with my cupcakes? But with all things I need to try to make these, and I would love to hear your thoughts..

Happy Thursday!

I totally think you should try making macaroons! I have never tried, but it is on my list of things to make. If I find a foodie blog with a delicious recipe, I'll pass it along! Love the Parisian theme!

I wish I had some tips on baking macaroons for you, but I've never tried it before. But, I say give it a shot. You're already great with the piping bag, so you shouldnt' have any problems there. I think getting the egg whites just right is the only other tricky part, but I have faith you can do it! Let us know if you give it a try.

First off, those picures look fantastic! What a good idea! Second, I vote that you SHOULD try making macaroons. I have never ever made them, but I have ALWAYS wondered how hard it is. They are the most gorgeous things ever!!

There is a cupcake place here in town that serves icing shots. I love the idea of it. Plus the icing is my favorite part!

Please let me be the first one invited to the icing shots party!!!
Good luck with the macaroons, I have heard they are a little difficult to master.
Have a great day!

AHHHH, I so do that. Seriously, I've been known to whip up some homemade icing and totally eat it without guilt :) ha ha ha When I was little, my mom couldn't keep jars of icing in the house - I would get them and hide them under my bed! ha ha ha ha Weird, I know - the things we did as kids :) Hope you're having a great night!
