KM Silent Auction Bizzle Bites- May 2011

Hi bloggers!!

Heidi here with another Bizzle Bite post for you all.

These are pics of another auction display that I donated for my friend Heidi's school. This I made with a carnival theme in mind...

Instead of dealing with uncooperative fondant, I decided instead to cover my foam tiers in a festive wrapping paper. And with that as the inspiration I dipped my yellow and chocolate cake BB in different colors of white chocolate. Adorning them are colored jimmies and white non perils. I can't wait to find out how they do at the auction tonight.

Here are some more pics for your enjoyment...

Baby Shower Bites!!!- May 2011

Happy Friday!! It is a gorgeous day here in Marysville WA as I sit and type out this blog. I hope it lasts for a while!! :)

So my friend Kristina called a week or so ago and asked me if I would like to make some Bizzle Bites for a baby shower that she was helping coordinate at her school for a teacher. I again jumped at the opportunity and was super excited about doing Bites for a shower. My first!!

The shower was not the typical all blue boy or all girl pink theme shower. They were doing like an ocean theme and the colors were purple, blue and green. And she was having a girl and was not a big fan of the pink thing. So with that said I was a little stumped at what I was going to do. But after a long trip to the fabric store and a lot of back and forth hemming and haaing this is what I came up with...

Sorry again about the poor lighting in my dining room but I think you can get the jist of it. For this display I used square cut foam (thank you again to my awesome husband for helping me with that) and covered it in a blue tinted marshmallow fondant and painted a white pearl dust on it for it to shimmer. Boy that fondant gave me trouble. I am so not making that again and am going to go with the pre-made stuff and just color that.

The Bizzle Bites themselves were half chocolate and half yellow cake. I made a vanilla butter cream frosting and mixed some of that in the cake for the binder. They were then dipped in white chocolate colored and decorated with different mediums of the 3 shower theme colors: purple, blue and green.

After the display was mostly dry and done (it took forever for that fondant to dry!) I took some ribbon with different polka dots on it and wrapped the fondant tiers with that. It kinda gave the display a water/ocean look I think. And when I wrapped the BB up I tied a little plastic pacifier through the ribbon as a little baby shower favor. They were finished with a purple ribbon.

And there you have it. Even though I thought the fondant could have been nicer (I am still trying to perfect covering with that stuff) it turned out nice for the most part. And the guest of honor loved it so that is all that mattered. :)

Auction #2: SCC Auction- May 2011

Good day bloggers!

 I just posted about my first auction that I made my Bizzle Bites for. And it was awesome. And how coincidental that I would have another auction where I would be a Bizzle Bite display. This auction was last Friday night and it was for the Seattle Children's Chorus. Our pastor's wife is the director there and just happened to see if I would like to make some for their auction. And because I love her and SCC I couldn't pass that up.

For these BB's I made 2 kinds of cake and frosting. First was the coconut cake with chocolate coconut ganache, dipped in dark chocolate and rolled in toasted coconut, mini chocolate chips or a Heath bar crunch topping. The second was a chocolate cake with a chocolate peanut butter ganache, dipped in dark chocolate. YUMMO!!!!! They were also either rolled in Heath bar crunch pieces, or decorated with sugars or pearls. They were sooooooo good!!!!

Here are the pics of these super delicious BB made just for the SCC Auction...

These are the best bites ever!!!! You can see the

Marysville Co-Op School Auction- Apr 2011

Hello blog followers!

I have recently done a couple of displays of Bizzle Bites for a couple auctions that I would like to share with you all.

This first one was done for the co-op school here in Marysville. My best friend Carrie is a mom of 2 and also on the auction committee. So she asked me one day if I would donate some of my BB to her school's auction. Why of course I would! What a great opportunity to get my work out there and to help raise money for a great school in our community.

So a couple nights before the auction I worked like a crazy person getting my bites done and decorated. And with the help of my AWESOME husband Jeff, we were able to build a mock cake out of foam, I then decorated it in fondant then we stuck the BB on the 3 tiers. It turned out soooo good! And for a nice, classy touch, I lined the bottom of each tier with some satin ribbon. It sort of looked like a mini wedding cake. I would sooo love to make more of these.

Check out my pics and let me know your thoughts and suggestions. Please don't be shy. I would really like some input...

All these Bizzle Bites were done with a devil's food cake, a
Bailey's butter cream icing and vanilla chocolate shell
colored pink or turquoise.

Green, blue and yellow...Sounders Bizzle Bites!

Simplicity!

Flowers!

Here is the display my husband and I made for the Bizzle Bites to be showcased on for the auction. Isn't it pretty?
I was so proud!

Turquoise BB

Happy Saturday bloggers!

Well this is my last pic post for the day of Bizzle Bites. I will now be up to date and current with what I have made so far and what my FB page shows. There are more people that are following my FB Bizzle Bite page right now than my blog. And that is fine. I hope to have some more followers on here some day...sigh... So that is why I making sure this is good to go and up to date.

So this last week I made some BB out of butter pecan cake and cream cheese frosting. I LOVE butter pecan cake so I thought these would be super yummy. Well I am my own worst critic I guess because I thought they were a little sweet. But everyone else that tried them thought they were delish. So I am going to put them to the test tomorrow at church and see what they say. And most don't know that I make them so I think the reviews will be pretty unbiased. We shall see.

Sugar pearls make things look so elegant and classic looking I think.

Here are
my butter pecan cake Bizzle Bites with cream cheese frosting and white chocolate shell...

Some of these Bizzle Bites were double dipped in the turquoise
chocolate which I think contributed to the over sweetness of
the pop. But maybe not. To each their own I guess :)

Non perils toppings.

Bumpy pops!

My favorite of this batch!

Purple sparkling decorating sugar gives the tops a cool
look.

Since I have such bad lighting in my house I took this on my
deck out back. Kinda cool look I think.

My son loves the BB with the spikes on it.
He calls it the Dinosaur Bizzle Bite.

Brownie Bizzle Bites...Yum!!!

Hi my fellow bloggers!

For those of you that love pictures, I again have more Bizzle Bite pics to post. And if you don't like them because they make your mouth water and eyes tear up then I suggest you pull yourself together, wipe your mouth dab your eyes and give me a call or shoot me an email and order some of this eye candy. You will not be sorry...I promise :)

Anyhoo, since my blog is a little lagging with my BB pics and not quite up to snuff like my Facebook page is, I better post these bad boys and make this current with FB.

Alright hold on to your seats...The following BB are made out of brownies. Yes that is right. There is no cake in these my friends but instead yummy, delicious chocolate moist brownie. The brownie mixture was infused with a tiny drop of mint flavoring and mixed with a small amount of chocolate frosting to help hold the shape of the Bites. OMG, these are so good! I think these have to be my favorite so far...

These Bizzle Bites remind me of those yummy chocolate mint cookies, Grasshoppers, I think they are called. Same brownie goodness decorated with a green dipping of chocolate around the middle and adorned with white sparkling decorating sugar or white sugar pearls.

decorated with green colored chocolate and adorned with pink
sparkling decorating sugar.

The one BB in the background that looks like it has
alien eyes or something has circles of fondant on it.
Kinda cute but a little scary looking :)

I love the swirlies on these Bizzle Bites. So cute!

New Bizzle Bite photos...

Hey to all of those out there following my Bizzle Bites blog! I have been super busy making a bunch of different Bizzle Bites (or BB) that I would like to share. If you are able to comment please do so. I would love all and any input that you can give me. I am currently working on some business cards that I hope to have done soon. I hope that with spring and the nicer weather upon us (well some days at least) that would bring some of you eager Bizzle Bite taste testers out of the wood work. They would be great for Easter, upcoming graduations, Mothers Day or for anything.


So without further ado here are some new pics of my Bizzle Bites. Enjoy you guys and thanks for coming back to check me out...xxoo

The Bizzle Bites above are a red velvet cake infused with a cream cheese frosting. The bite is then dipped  in a white chocolate coating and adorned with pink sparkle decorating sugar.

These Bizzle Bites are also a red velvet cake infused with cream cheese frosting. They are either dipped in a dark chocolate coating and twice dipped in white chocolate adorned with pink sugar pearls. Or they are dipped once in white chocolate and adorned with pink
sugar pearls.

The rest of my Bizzle Bites are all done with red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting and are decorated with white chocolate, chocolate sprinkles, sugar pearls or sparkling pink and white sparkle decorating sugar...

What are Bizzle Bites?

Hi to those out there in the blogging world! This is my second post ever on a blog so bare with me...

If you are new to my blog, welcome. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day to check out my blog. As you know (from reading my prior post 'About Me') my name is Heidi and I make Bizzle Bites or otherwise known to most of the worldly population as cake pops. If you are new to the cake pop revolution like I once was, I will give you the basic gist of a cake pop.

Cake pops are basically these yummy, little, delicious balls of cake goodness on a stick coated in a candy shell. Angie Dudley aka Bakerella, is famously known for her cake pops. After reading both her blog and book, I have been entranced by these little confectionery morsels of bliss. And after making them I can see why she loves them so and why they are such a hit. They are delicious!!!

So, with Bakerella as my inspiration and my undying love to bake sweet treats, I gave them a shot and made a batch or two for my youngest daughters birthday party. Success!!! They were a hit. So I thought why not make some more for some friends. And, again, they were consumed and raved about. And to those of you, you know who you are, thank you so much!

So with a couple cake pop successes under my belt and a very talented and super loving, computer literate friend, Bizzle Bites was born. Mind you Bizzle Bites aren't just any plain ordinary cake pop. These pops are made with lots of time and love while still remaining to taste like heaven on a 6 inch stick. They are literally amazing, bite-size morsels of heavenly goodness. :)

Cake pops are great for pretty much any occasion such as weddings, birthday parties, graduations, bridal showers or even just to sit down and consume in the privacy of your own home with the curtains closed. They come in all flavors and can be decorated to your personal liking. I haven't tackled  fondant covered or embellished pops yet, but will be learning that soon. With these little babies anything is possible and the sky is endless.

Thanks again for checking out Bizzle Bites. If you are interested in seeing what these bites are all about, give me a call or shoot me an email. I will have pricing and menus posted on this blog within a few days...I hope. I would love to share these bites with all and anyone willing to try them out. Why know about a good thing if you can't share them with the world right? Or at least the surrounding areas.  Try Bizzle Bites and I can guarantee you will not be disappointed. What could be better then cake on a stick right?
