UT Longhorns, Rodeo---Cake Drops!

Last night was spent in a blur. There are cake drops to get ready. In Texas it is the start of THE RODEO...YEEEHAW. So we all strap on our boots and go boot scootin at the BBQ cook off. It is a ton of good food and people watching. In the traditional Texas stereotype we spend three days on monster BBQ ensembles trying to get the recipe that will make the judges melt.




Isn't he cute? If he only knew his fate was to be devoured.

I am donating 500 drops to the rodeo and then a another 100 to the UT Longhorns. I spent the evening drowning in these drops! All for a great cause and completely worth it. The Rodeo drops are still going and it is 8am. Take a look a the Longhorns....they are done!!

Here is the extended family, lined up in good order getting ready to meet their fate. MMMMMM!

Cake balls, bites and in our case -drops - The fad has taken over!

Have you ever opened your fridge and looked in side and thought, how did I get here? That is what happened to me this morning.

So back to the balls, bites, drops. It started as a huge misunderstanding. My stepdaughter, an 18 year old in her senior year of economics, had a school paper to write on starting a business. I thought she had to carry it through to fruition and I took off. Did I say MISUNDERSTANDING??? She only had to do it conceptually. So we started cake dropping like mad. Taking surveys, taste test, my pantry was a sweet tooth's heaven. Her friends loved them and that is how I got where I am. This morning, the fridge, scouring for something to eat but noticing that only cake drops lived in there.



So now I am on a quest to raise money for breast cancer. I am making these tender morsels of cakey goodness in order to get people to donate for the cause. I always felt really cheesy just saying, sponsor me...well cause you just should...it is a good cause. This way I actually have some form of trade. Buy these fabulous drops of cake and icing and feel good about yourself, cause you are donating to a cause and you get to eat them...what is better.

I have added some pics of these little things. Flavors abound and combinations never cease to amaze me. When you have an 18 year old with a school of friends that is constantly coming home saying..try this..or that. You get some tastey and terrifying concotions!
