I had big plans to show you a really cute food craft idea for Thanksgiving. I saw some cute cornucopia cake pops over HERE and thought I would put my own spin on them by using taffy to create the cornucopia. I found some caramel flavored taffy at the store and I thought that would be the perfect thing to roll out and wrap around my cake balls. Last night I made my treats and all was well. It was too dark for a photo shoot though, so I left it for today.
Here is what I found when I looked at my creations today. What on earth happened? The taffy started to slide off and ooze maybe? I don't even know what that little pile of liquid is.

| Your food should never be described as "oozing" |
Normally I would just write it off or revamp the idea and move on. However, I thought it might be fun to show you that not everything turns out fabulous on the first try.

Hmm... Maybe coat the cake ball in candy melts before adding the taffy?
ReplyDeleteLOL, oh, sorry, this really looks like something Monsters would eat for Thanksgiving. I am with Kendra, dipping your cake ball in candy melts then wrapping with taffy. Or just use candy melts and mold it into a cornucopias. Did it taste good, day after looking like this?
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer! I loooove your idea of the pumpkin and fruit in there!!! Hmmmm was the cake hot? Did u heat the taffy? Maybe scratch the cake pop and try rice Krispy treats molded? So cute do not give up!!! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I had to laugh. I love your thinking, and that you tried so hard. Kudo's to you. Keep trying girlfriend. You'll get it! Oh... I like the idea of the Krispy treats. That really might work. That fruit is just too cute!
