I learned how to make dipped Oreos from my supercali-craftalistic-expealidocious (don't have a heart attack Dana, I know that's totally spelled wrong. haha) friend, Sheri. She made cookie bouquets out of them for a holiday. I made them this past Valentine's Day in red, pink and white, with tiny heart sprinkles on them. They are super cute, and adaptable to your theme, holiday or colors. The first time I made them, they were kinda difficult. I bought double stuffed oreos to have extra room for the sucker stick. A lot of them broke, I don't know if I just bought a really breakable package or what. This time I am using regular oreos and popsicle sticks, just because that's what I have on hand, and the popsicle sticks are thinner.Here we go... First, twist open your cookie.
Gently slide in the stick from the outside to a little bit past the center and lift the filling out.
Replace the stick in the goove where you removed the filling and it should be completely level. Replace the other half of the cookie and hold it in place while you, using a small spaula or knife, spread some melted Wilton candy disks on one side.
Lay it down on a cookie sheet that has been covered with wax paper.
Next, you will need to add more to the top and also coat around the sides of the cookie, while using your other hand to hold the stick in place. Once it is all coated, you add the sprinkle of your choice...
This is what they will look like. Allow to fully dry.
Peel off the wax paper and wrap how you choose. I have the clear bags from Michaels and decided to tie with a ribbon instead of using the twist ties. Give out one by one, or you can arrange a cookie bouquet. Enjoy! =)

I had these cello bags already, and cut some tags on my cricut this morning to add some extra "cuteness" to the bags.
Then he walked her outside and told her "it's all paid for and it's ALL YOURS!"
There is fresh grated lemon zest in the cake and in the frosting! Yum! Snag the recipe over here: 
This is what the crust looks like and I didn't take pictures of the middle steps, but it was SOOO easy. Follow the recipe over here, at Tasty Kitchen...
This morning I roughly painted it white. It was just a old dirty brown color...I tried to paint it so that you can still see some streaks of the brown through the white.
You can tell what's in bloom in my garden, huh? I will either be cutting all hydrangeas to match for the party or buying a bouquet of mixed flowers and dividing them between the bottles. I don't like that the two on the bottom almost disappear compared to the other blossoms. Apart from that, I think it's pretty cute, and all made out of stuff laying around the ranch. The only thing I bought were the glass bottles from thrift stores.
4-5 rolls of ribbon (I used 4 and filled in with scraps) and 1 foam circle from the craft section of the Dollar Tree= $5 ribbon wreath! Simply tie bows along the wreath base until full and hang wherever you like!
See how faded it was....
This is the finished project, I might do another coat, but either way, it looks better than before! =)
