Snacking at Our House: Chocolate Cake Balls

I did it again. I tried a variation of the famous bakerella's cake balls.

I used:
1 box Pillsbury Moist Supreme brand chocolate cake
1 can Pillsbury chocolate frosting
2 bags of Wilton candy wafers from Michaels

And this is how I did it:

After baking the cake I cut it into four big chunks, broke those in half, and crumbled into a mixing bowl.

Like so.

Then, using only a little at a time, I mixed in the frosting.

 

Rolled them into balls! Put them in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Prepped the candy wafers in the microwave.

Dunked 'em!

I started to fill this box...

I thought a few turned out ok. I liked the little sprinkles!

All filled up! At least 70 of these things made the trip to Athens for Patrick :)

She's Crafty: Scrapbooking for Mel

I finally did it! I finally finished Mel's scrapbook (Read: my parents are rejoicing that they once again have control over their dining room table). We had her big bachelorette evening on July 24, and here it is almost 6 months, 75 pages, and 3 pounds of book later...I've done it. I thought I'd share a couple of my favorite photos from the night and a couple of pages to celebrate.

One of my favorite photos from the night. Taken by Dwoody. The photographer I hired to take all the photos for the evening. 

Front cover!

Look how thick this little thing was.

These were some die-cuts that someone from etsy sent me for free!

And this is paper and custom die-cut letters I had made at the local store.

A blingin' page.

The mate to the other page.

And that is all you are allowed to see to protect the innocent. Ha! Just kidding. Really, all we did was knit and crochet.
