Christmas Baking Part 1: Rice Krispie Treats

I know this is a little late but I have to post anyway [= because I made a TON of stuff.. I actually spread myself a little thin to do everything that I did.. I had 2 different houses to go to and I wanted to bring an equal amount of desserts to both places but I also had a few things that I wanted to try out.. One thing that I learned from my whole Christmas baking experience is that you should NEVER experiment when you have a lot to do.. EVER! lol.. I need to learn to stop trying to do it all. I always stress myself out because I always over do it. I always do get everything done though.
Anyway the first thing that I made was Rice Krispies treats. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Rice Krispies treats! They are super easy to make, delicious and you could make them ahead of time! Whats better than that? Every time I make them I always put drizzled chocolate and sprinkles. If you've never made them because you think they're too messy like I did.. You have to give them a try because they are 100 times better than the premade ones!

To make them you need:

6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
1- 10 ounce bag of marshmallows (I use mini marshmallows because they melt faster)
1/2 stick of butter

In a large pot melt the butter and then add the marshmallows. Keep stirring until they're all melted and then add in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies. Just mix everything together until all the cereal is mixed into the marshmallow.
I usually spray a glass brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray and let them cool in it. It's easier to drizzle the chocolate onto them and make them into bars.

Here's a pic. Unfortunately it's not the best pic because it was taken with my camera phone because my camera battery has been dead for weeks lol

Dog Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my friend Gians birthday, He LOVES dogs! This one kind of looks like a teddy bear but everyone knew what it was. My friend picked up this little stuffed dog and I copied him, Everything looks the same except for the color. I think if i gave him longer arms he would have looked more dog-like but it was my first time using Rice Krispies treats to decorate. Actually it was my first time making homemade Rice Krispies treats.. Which were AWESOME by the way! lol.. I ate the leftovers by the next day all by myself =\.. This one I made the same way as the sushi cupcakes, with boxed cake mix, diet soda and 2 egg whites. I used chocolate and vanilla cake mix and layered them, chocolate/vanilla/chocolate/vanilla, so it looked really cool when it was cut into. (I don't have any pictures of that part though)

I wasn't really happy with the way the writing came out
because after a while it all spread out.. Just something I
have to keep working on though! =]
