Dollar Tree Dessert Diva to the Rescue


The Hubby called last minute to say there was a potluck at work tomorrow 
and he wanted some cake pops w/ a Nice Display. You know, something that really stands out and says "I'm the Man" ( :) Luvvels you Greggy)

 Okay....Cake Pops! 

 If anyone of you have ever made these delightful treats you know how time consuming they are.
 I headed on over to the baking cabinet & realize all of my baking & decorating supplies had  been packed away for our move.

YEY!  Dollar Tree, here I come! 
 While I walked the aisles, racking brain trying to figure out how to make these cake pops w/dollar store items. 

 I realized when they had no sticks or treat bags But they had cupcake papers!
And Yellow ones at that!
Yellow Yellow And More Yellow!
Okay It's not Spring, but it is September,
Yellow Would be a good Visual against all the fall dishes!
That's bound to stand out!



LEMON It Will BE!
Infact Let's do this if We are going to do it right!

The OFFICIAL Title of my dollar store Treat Dish for a bunch of Office Personal?
 Lemon Chiffon cake pop truffles w/ Lemon Buttercream center, a white chocolate coating
 and Dusted in a Lemon turbinato sugar. 

 Total cost for this sweet and tart concoction...$7.56. 
(And this was BEFORE I found out Dollar Tree takes COUPONS (ERG))
I was able to produce 24 handmade large cake pop truffles.
 With all that Yellow There is a slight aura & reflection on the backsplash wall!
Won't He be SUPRISED! He'll Pucker with Excitement as he takes his first bite!

Yeah That's right Hubby of mine, I came through Yet again! Under my $10 Budget! HA!

      Hi there! Sorry it took so long for a response. I'm so used to have messages on the Fabulously Clever Facebook page, and not here. I did create the blog myself. It wasn't too hard. Check out wordpress and find a theme you like. The search for images for a background to apply. Let me know if you need any help.

    I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It's a very easy
    on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more
    often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
    Excellent work!

    I am wondering which blogging and site-building
    platform you're running? I'm new to operating a blog and have been thinking about
    using the Blogger platform. Do you consider this is
    a good platform to start with? I would be extremely thankful if I could ask you some questions
    through e-mail so I can learn a bit more before getting started.
    When you have some free time, please contact me at: marco-rupp@gmail.

    I am new to building sites and I was wanting to know if having your website
    title relevant to your content really that vital? I see your title, "Blogger: Fabulously Clever " does seem
    to be spot on with what your blog is about but, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding.

    Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea?
    Any kind of assistance would be greatly valued.

    Cool blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere?
    A theme like yours with a few simple tweeks would really make my blog shine.

    When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get three e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
    Bless you!

    Hiya. I was contemplating adding a backlink back to your blog since both of
    our sites are based around the same niche. Would you prefer I link to you using your site address:
    http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=361044305197688796&postID=700511840243161669 or website title: Blogger: Fabulously Clever.
    Please make sure to let me know at your earliest convenience.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest
    twitter updates. I've been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    Hey there! I was interested to know if setting up a site such your own: http://www.
    blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=361044305197688796&postID=700511840243161669 is hard to do
    for inexperienced people? I've been hoping to set up my own blog for a while now but have been turned off because I've always believed it
    demanded tons of work. What do you think?

    Thanks

    Hello, Neat post. There is an issue along with your web site in internet explorer,
    may test this? IE still is the marketplace chief and a big portion of other people will miss your excellent writing due to
    this problem.
