Happy March!\u00a0 Now that it is officially March, I can start thinking all things St Patrick’s Day!\u00a0 And all things Spring, but that is WAY too much to ask here in Canada.\u00a0 So I’ll stick to Leprechauns and Pot’s of Gold.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I’m still trying to find it, aren’t you?\u00a0 I think I’ll have better odds if I take up playing the lottery.\u00a0 Aren’t your odds of winning the lottery less than they are of being struck by lightning?\u00a0 I guess that means that my odds of finding a pot of gold are even slimmer than the lottery.\u00a0 Besides, playing the lottery is a lot less work!\u00a0 It’s mountainous around these ‘ere parts.\u00a0 It’s me and the lottery now.<\/p>\n
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!!\u00a0 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!!\u00a0 Genius, I know.\u00a0\u00a0 Since it takes the royal icing rainbow so long to dry, you might want to start with those a day early.\u00a0 If you can’t find black melting chocolate, you can also use brown.\u00a0 I tried brown in my practice versions, and it looked great too!\u00a0 Also, when it comes to the yellow sugar pearls, you can use any small round sprinkle\/candy for the\u00a0 “gold”, or even just regular yellow\/gold sanding sugar.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0Have fun, and good luck searching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I’m off to buy a lottery ticket.\u00a0<\/p>\n
