So as you seen below me and Becky thought it would fun to both of us do a desert type thing on our own and it was a secret. I didnt know what she was doing and she didnt know what I was doing. Well I chose a Caramel Banana torte. It was simple to make [though it sounds fancy doesnt it?] and it was oh so good. Not too sweet, even though I thought it would be but it wasnt the Cool Whip really tamed down the flavors.

S'Mores~My way
We decided to pick a sweet and make it... Toni Picked One and I picked another.. Neither one of us knew what the other was gonna do... And S'Mores was what I chose... These were really easy to make and A big Hit with the kids! I found a recipe and altered it a bit and made it cupcakes instead of pie so it was easier for the kiddos...
Doughnuts for Lunch
Who doesnt like a good doughtnut no matter what kind of day you are having. If you ever get a ticket that you need to get out of take a batch of these [plus a pair of pleading eyes] and Im sure you can get out of any ticket....Okay I wouldnt go that far but they was really good. Heres how we did it. Once again we got the recipe from foodthatdoesn'tsuck.blogspot.com [if you have never checked out her page open a new tab [by our blog of course ;) ] and open it, you wont be disappointed shes awesome!
Anywhoo back to the good stuff.
So we took some cresent rounds rolled them into what any kid would call snakes then cut them in half rolled them up and fried them. we also took some biscuits and cut them into quarters, made balls and done them as well. Once done we rolled them in powdered sugar, I added Nutella to mine since B thought they was sweet enough,shes a weird little woman and they was awwww-mazing! I definitely suggest you make these.

Funfetti Cookies
One word. YUM. We didnt use the funfetti cookie mix, we used the funfetti cake but used the recipe on the side of the box [very sophisticated people arent we? not.]. They was a big hit. The kids loved them and they was simple to make and definitely fun to eat.I recommend you trying them and bestpart about them. They dont get hard like most cookies.
Strawberry Rice Krispy Pizza.
We would deff. suggest everyone give these a try... They are very simple yet delicious.. We altered the original recipe just a bit.. It called for a layer of marshmallows but we put 2 layers of Nutella and 2 layers of rice krispies The only thing we would do diff. is we would add more strawberries.. They added alot of flavor! Its a quick snack and a hit with the kiddos:) WE need to give credit to foodthatdoesn'tsuck.blogspot.com for the wonderful recipe!!
Apple Caramel Cupcakes
These were fun to make and tasted really well. The recipe came off of TLC.com we did a few alterations on it, like we didnt use chopped apples we used apple juice [ we recommend to stick with the chopped apples]and the icing was too hard to be able to spread it, so we made fondant out of it [B's idea] and it was good the icing reminded me of the old fashion divinity candy. All in all it was good just needed a little more apple flavor.
First Fondant Cake [not complete fail]
We made our first cake and it was an experience to say the least. I never knew making fondant was such an arm workout. My hands were dyed orange, blue green and black but thankfully it came off by the next day. The cake all in all wasn't GREAT but for out first time and going into it pretty much blind I would say we did pretty well. We originally planned on doing orange with blue detail and then the top layer being green with pink detail, but me not paying attention and talking to one of the kids messed up and made the whole batch green. so we pulled out some of the green and B mixed it with yellow to make a pretty awesome neon green. THEN I was not loving the green color so I made it a charcoal gray color [totally not on purpose since it was suppose to be black but we will ignore that fact] but it came out "okay" my sister [whom is very easily pleased] really liked them and already plans on us doing her kids birthday cake so I guess that means its okay [but then again shes easily pleased]. But either way we came away with some understanding of what to do [and what NOT to do] next time and both of us where wearing ingredients on our clothes [I actually had to change I was wearing so much powdered sugar] but it was fun :)
