Happy March! Now that it is officially March, I can start thinking all things St Patrick’s Day! And all things Spring, but that is WAY too much to ask here in Canada. So I’ll stick to Leprechauns and Pot’s of Gold. I think that every kid has once thought that if they could just get to the end of that rainbow, there would be a gleaming pot of gold at the end of it. I’m still trying to find it, aren’t you? I think I’ll have better odds if I take up playing the lottery. Aren’t your odds of winning the lottery less than they are of being struck by lightning? I guess that means that my odds of finding a pot of gold are even slimmer than the lottery. Besides, playing the lottery is a lot less work! It’s mountainous around these ‘ere parts. It’s me and the lottery now.
Since now that I’ve given up trying to find the end of the rainbow, I’ll just have to stick with making a pot of gold!! Making these cake pops is pretty standard, but with a little twist of putting them upside down, voila, you have the rim of the pot!! Genius, I know. Since it takes the royal icing rainbow so long to dry, you might want to start with those a day early. If you can’t find black melting chocolate, you can also use brown. I tried brown in my practice versions, and it looked great too! Also, when it comes to the yellow sugar pearls, you can use any small round sprinkle/candy for the “gold”, or even just regular yellow/gold sanding sugar.
Have fun, and good luck searching.
I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.
