Aggies Do It Better

This year I went in a different direction and made different designs on each of the six cakes I made. They feature cut out hearts in an ombre theme. The inside is also ombre, but I went with a chocolate turning to vanilla instead of colors because I'm getting away from using food coloring. 

Hey Yall! This post has been in the works for a few weeks, I've been adding pics as I go from my phone and it's just been sitting there waiting for me to edit! This is one of the most simple things you can make for dinner. It's cheap, easy, and there's so much more you can do that just eat the chicken and veggies and be done with it.  There's a lot of pictures so I'll try not be too wordy!   Start with a small roaster chicken. This one was maybe $6-8. (although, we are fast becoming a 2-bird family! It would be no different to just roast 2 at a time if you have a big family or want more leftovers). This is a large cookie sheet, commercial type, I got from Sam's. I use it for eeeeeeverything. I love the high rim so it catches juices, etc. My method for small chickens is the same for large Thanksgiving turkeys.

(See: No Blogging) But I did manage to eek out a few things.   First up is a small cake and cupcakes I made for a baby girl shower. The cupcakes were vanilla, chocolate chip cookie dough , and cinnamon latte.  The cake was carrot. These are little chocolate dipped marshmallows I made for Halloween. Franken-mallows!       This was the first  birthday cake I made for the baby. I've been wanting to make a cake covered in sprinkles for a while! Keeping in mind it was only 2 tiers of 4 and 6 inches, it didn't take me as long as I thought or as much sprinkles as I thought. I have lots left over!     The oldest turned 7 and request a Cowboys stadium. With the doors open, Mom. I didn't have much time to work on it and I would change a few things, but it turned out ok!     Another ...
