Happy Easter! I hope everyone had a great day.

We made it home Friday. It was nice to be in my own bed. Some of our friends in Florida, invited us to their annual Easter Beach Party.

I woke up early to finish my Cake Pops (I’ll get to them in a moment) and deviled eggs. Three house later, I finally finished. We left our house around 11AM. We had to stop by Winn Dixie for some meat to cook on the grill and some adult beverages.

If you ever want to feel trashy, go to the grocery store at 11:30AM on Easter Sunday, while everyone looks like they just left church, and buy a 4 pack of 16oz PBR.

I told my sister that story and she asked me why I was buying beer so early. Really Tabby? Don’t you read my blog? ;)

We brought Jenga!

Morgan and I kicked ass!

There was cornhole.

We watched Alex Kitesurf.

These two are best friend, can’t you tell?

I made Easter Egg Deviled Eggs and Carrot Cake Pops with Beer to take with us.

The Cake Pops were a nightmare to make, BTW! My friend, Shelly, told me how to make cake balls/pops a few years ago. She made it sound so easy. HAHA!

I shaped some into balls and others into carrot. I dipped the “carrots” in the orange white chocolate and dipped the tops in green.

Messy! Huck was kind enough to help me.

The melted chocolate was a little to thick, so I added beer to help thin it out. It made coating the balls easier.

Ugliest cake pops/balls ever! I saved a few pretty ones, so I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow.

While working on the Cake pops, i soaked the white part of the hard boiled eggs in a mixture of food coloring and water.

 

I think this would be a cool idea for Christmas, too. Just make the green and red darker.

 

The end result.

I quickly placed my cake pops on the table and ran away. I didn’t want to credit for the ugly “Cake Meatballs” as Morgan called them. The eggs didn’t look to bad. I admitted to them.

Today was a good day spent with good friends.

Now, I’m off to bed. Goodnight!

Carrot Cake Pops with Brown Ale

Print recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Carrot Cake Mix
  • 3 Eggs
  • 1 cup Beer (I used Cigar City Maduro Brown (A Brown Ale would be great))
  • 2/3 cups Apple Sauce
  • 1/4-1/2 cup Cream Cheese Icing
  • 2 bags Wilton Chocolates (I bought one white and one orange.)
  • Extra Beer

Directions

Cook cake according to package directions using the beer. Allow cake to fully cool.
Crumble cake into a large bowl. Mix cake together with icing. Add a little icing at a time until the mixture comes together. You do not want the cake to be to moist.
Use a 1 tablespoon scoop or a tablespoon to measure out cake. Roll dough between hands to form a ball. Place balls on a cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
Melt chocolate according to directions and add food coloring. Thin with a little beer to make dipping easier. Insert sticks into cake and dip into chocolate. Lay on a lined cookie sheet to harden. Drizzle with extra icing.
ENJOY!!
