Yummy Yummy to Someone's Tummy

So I bought my self a cookbook! Imagine that! Well after pouring over it for hours and hours I found a recipe to make for my left-brain husband to take to work as parting gifts. He was transferring to a different department to obtain more knowledge as he peruses he Professional Engineering license. OK! It was really an excuse to make something!

Anyone who likes sweet, oh so good treats needs to get this book! So I decided to make Heaven on a Stick. Ingredients . . .

One bag of large marshmallows Sucker sticks One can of sweetened condensed milk Butter Salt Vanilla One bag of Caramels Chocolate coating (Bark Chocolate) EXTRAS: M&M's, Chopped nuts, Sprinkles, Cookie crumbs, etc.

I had Shalom to unwrap these! She had a blast.

Then I had her to put three marshmallows on 12-15 sucker sticks. We used three marshmallows but you can use four. After this we melted the caramels with the butter, milk, salt and vanilla. Then we dipped the marshmallows in the caramels and put them in the freezer to set. We got so excited about the next step we forgot to take a picture! But this is the end result . . . Are you drooling yet? Can you stand it? Wait for it . . .

Don't they look YUMMY!!!!!!! Too bad I'm allergic to chocolate! Then we had to package them for Left-brain to take to his co-workers! Do you want to see more? Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Yummy to somebody's tummy! I'm ready for my close up!

Left-brain said they were so good his co-workers were fighting for the extras!

Ooh La La

OK, so most people know I have been on the hunt to find really great cupcakes. Well . . . I have traveled to the far parts of the Houston area to find some REALLY GREAT cupcakes!

Well look no further! Ooh La La - The Dessert Boutique in Katy, Texas just MIGHT be the place! They have some awesome cupcakes. Shalom even liked them and you know she does not eat cupcakes. Her favorite one is Bunny Boo! She was rewarded with one for jumping off the diving board on the last day of swim class. OK, she would have got one anyway since this place was on my summer to do list! But, I let her think it was her reward! The Bunny Boo (isn't that a cute name? She picked that one because of Bratz) is a Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese frosting. Very yummy! Next there was the Velvet Elvis This cuppie was VERY GOOD - better than the last one I had. The cake had just the right flavor to compliment the yummy cream cheese frosting. I'm beginning to think I like cream cheese frosting! This is soooo cute! Look at the little umbrella! This is a pineapple upside down cake with - Yes yummy Cream Cheese pineapple frosting! Who can resist anything with a cherry on top! This is the MargaritaVille with infused Tequila with a lime green frosting! This one was for Ann! She drove and this was the one she had been salivating for since the Hurricane in September! That's when we had our first encounter with Ooh La La! We needed rations because we had to "Hunker Down"! But look they had these too! These little ditties are yumm-o! The first one is a chocolate chip cookie cup with chocolate ganache, marshmallows, chocolate chunks and almonds. Is your mouth watering yet? The other little morsel is a cake ball! Its leftover cake formed into a ball and then dipped in white chocolate ganache and rolled into colored sprinkles! That is just stinkin' cute! And oh so yummy!

They had so many cupcakes and flavors of the day, I could have spent over $50 just to taste them! And did I mention they have an adorable setting section complete with a faux fireplace? So if you are ever in the Katy area and are in the mood for something sweet, swing by Ooh La La, you will not be disappointed!
