Ugly Angry Bird Cake Pops And The Side Effects

Jay was coming over and since he is "totally into Angry Birds right now" I thought I'd be a good Auntie and tried to make Angry Bird Cake Pops.

So here is the story of the Ugly Angry Birds on Mothers Day and what came next ...

First there was the "Creation"


I used this tutorial  for the actual cake pops


... and then I had to get creative to come up with a way to make them look like Angry Birds.


Looks like a scene from a bird morgue


"feathers"


Before 


After


Et voila this is how you create
UGLY Angry Birds


Here are the somewhat prettier pops for the adults



these ones were covered in Oreo crumbs


coco-nut 



Vanilla-White Chocolate Swirl


the Happy Couple during their Ugly Angry Bird feeding-frenzy


the side effects are already kicking in ...



WARNING ... consumption my cause 

Excessive happiness


"mild" hyper-activity


with sudden onset of staring into nothing while your head rests on an orange ball.


Excessive chattiness and dry mouth. 
(suggested medications to counter these effects; beer and Prossecco)


Paranoia and the feeling that somebody is constantly chasing you.


May cause you to feel trapped.


To run away,


over


and over


and over and over again ...


Anxiety and the sudden urge to scream like you have been (almost) caught 


May induce a feeling of being trapped and surrounded by the enemy



and the urge to just fall to the ground and pet the Dork,
 instead of running after your husband.


The urge to camouflage your face with smelly markers 
(that don't wash off easily so you have to go to school the next day looking like ...)



THIS!!!


May also cause addiction to gambling (game-bling).


Crazy attempts to slide down the slide on all four, HEAD first!!!


May cause mild iMac addiction 


and the urge to eat chicken RAWWWW ....


some were more effected ...


than others.


And finally may cause excessive exhaustion, blank stares at the TV monitor.


And the need to snuggle up closely and just CRASH!


May also cause you to have the BEST Mothers Day ever and enormous fun with great friends and family!!!

Lulu crawled out of bed at 9:30 AM!!!  this morning and said the light was hurting her eyes and she was really thirsty ... if that doesn't scream Cake-Pop-Hang-Over than I don't know what would :)

I have never enjoyed being spoiled so much, I think I could get used to it.
Just to think that Mothers Day is just a "little holiday" compared to birthdays, Christmas and anniversaries, I can't wait to see what Pat has in store for me next. 
It will have to top yesterday ... obviously!

Sorry babe, but you just screwed yourself royally ;)

Take My Breath Away

Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game 
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame 
Turning and returning to some secret place inside 
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say



Take my breath away
Take my breath away


Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love 
Never hesitating to become the fated ones 
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide 
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say 



Take my breath away


Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away 
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say 
If only for today I am unafraid


Take my breath away 
Take my breath away


Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game 
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames 
Turning and returning to some secret place inside 
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say



Take my breath away 
My love, take my breath away


Excuse me while I go and pinch myself black and blue, trying to figure out if I am awake or dreaming.

For once I am speechless ....
