Marly's edible arrangements

For the "February birthdays" party at the Christensens' I decided to make something for the birthday people. So, I bought a bunch of fruit, chocolate for melting, candy bars, and had my good friend Cece over. We spent the night melting, dipping, baking, frosting and sampling.


One of our favorite things that we made was our apple pops. I used my melon-baller to cut apple balls, then we dipped them in caramel and/or chocolate, then rolled them in chopped-up candy bars. They turned out like mini-caramel apples and were the perfect size!

The chocolate dipped pineapple turned out to be the trickiest part. The chocolate just did not want to stick! Anyone know how Edible Arrangements does it? Well, maybe I'll perfect it next time.

The next morning I put everything together into arrangements. I think they turned out really cute!

The best part was when I got a call from Dad Christensen the next day saying that he just loved it and thought it was really yummy:-) I had so much fun making them I think I might make them again for the March birthdays.

Easter Sunday and April birthdays dinner

Better late than never?

I wasn't really on the ball with getting these pictures up. Sorry! We had a great time on Sunday at the Christensens' for Easter and to celebrate the April birthdays, mine was on the 1st, Aaron's and Linda's are on the 22nd. I decided to make salmon for Linda (since she doesn't like ham). It was my first time working with fish and according to those who tried it, it came out great. It was fairly simple to make; if anyone wants to know the recipe let me know. I hope you enjoy the pictures and the video of the famous birthday song sung by the Christensen family.
