Colors

I had the following conversation with Aidan at the breakfast table today.

Aidan:  Sometimes, they make Oreos with yellow in the middle. Did you know that?
Me:  I do. They also make them orange at Halloween and red at Christmas.
Aidan:  Why don't they make them yellow at Christmas? Yellow is a Christmas color.
Me:  Most people think of red and green as being Christmas colors.
Aidan:  Well, I think of yellow, because the star is yellow!
Me:  (melt)

Christmas Cake Balls

Some of you may remember that last year, I made Bakerella's Santa Hat Cake Pops for one of my kids' Christmas parties. They were so yummy, so when it came time for our Christmas party at church last weekend, I decided to make cake balls. Same concept, with no stick, and no trying to make cones out of cake. The balls are much easier.

You can check out Bakerella's post on making cake balls here. Or you can get her cookbook, Cake Pops.

Anyway, I used her basic cake ball recipe, with red velvet cake, and covered them with red candy coating, drizzled some green on top, and added sprinkles! Come on. Who doesn't love sprinkles? If you want them to be even more Christmassy and super awesome, add a couple drops of peppermint oil flavoring (mine came in a pack with four different flavors in the baking aisle at Michael's) to that green candy. Yum!
