Kardashians Take Over Chelsea Lately!

Me, Nickta, and Nicole at the taping of "Kardasians take over Chelsea Lately!"
Okay, okay, I know the Kardashians aren't everyones cup of tea, but I just so happen to like them at some extent. I wouldn't say I look up to them or say that they are my favorite celebrities (?), but I will admit that I do watch their reality shows. Most of you are probably disgusted with me right now but I can't help it! Any who, for the past two months, it had been rumored at my sister's work place that the Kardashians would either be coming as guests or coming to host the show, Chelsea Lately. It wasn't until last week that I found out that they were officially coming to the show. Immediately, I asked my sister if I could come to the show (& also take two friends). Luckily, she was able to let me and my two friends come along! Unfortunately, at most shows, pictures taken inside the studios are not allowed, however, at the end of the taping, I was able to meet Chuy (also known as Chelsea's "little nugget")! Look what happened when we met!!!!

Chuy with one of my cake pops!!! Usually when I come and bring my baked goods to Chelsea Lately, I don't really expect that anyone that's actually on the show will get or see them. Out of pure luck, Chuy happened to pass by my sister and I and so she gave him one of my cake pops and proceeded to point that I was the one who made them. Immediately I wanted to get a picture of him with my cake pop, but I didn't want to say it in front of him because I thought it could be too unprofessional? I should add that he was on his way to the meet and greet that he randomly does after some of the tapings. After getting a cake pop, he rode along in his bike(?) to the meet and greet. When he was somewhat of a far distance I asked if my sister could somehow get a picture of him with the cake pop, however she got the better idea of having me with both him AND the cake pop! So yeah! That's how that happened! I can officially now say that someone on Chelsea Lately finally got to have one of my "kreations!" :) I mean someone else could have during one of the times I've been, but as far as I know, Chuy is the first!

Curious to see what cake pops I brought to Chelsea?
Well, I actually brought an assortment of cake pops. Well, I guess only two different designs but you can have a look of the two designs that I brought!
Cake pop(s) #1 (also the one that Chuy got!!)
Cake pop(s) #2 ! 
I also made a two more cake pop designs that I made for my friend Nickta, in the hopes that she could help raise money and awareness for a fundraiser that she is having. Check them out below!
I tried to be "fancy" and tried to swirl the colors of UCLA (the school Nickta goes to) onto the cake pop.

I just thought it could be fun to attempt making "cake" cake pops! I definitely think I need to work on this design more... 
If you'd like to donate to Nickta's fundraiser, you can donate here

Why exactly does Nickta need to fundraise you ask? This summer, she will be a camp counselor for a week for underprivileged youth. She is fundrasing to send kids to camp for a week. Without this money, the kids will not be able to go to camp, the best part of their summer.

I Think I Have a Problem..

These past few days, I have been making myself desserts [chocolate covered strawberries and homemade samoas]. Pathetic, right? The thing is, I randomly get cravings for things, but then when the product is complete, I no longer crave for what I was craving! Help..?!


The first thing I was craving for were chocolate covered strawberries... 

I'm pretty embarrassed to admit this, but I think the main reason I was craving for these were because it was the night of Valentine's Day and... well... I didn't have a Valentine and thought I'd give myself a little treat.. :| [Also pictures of chocolate covered strawberries were all over my Instagram and Facebook feed!]

Off topic - but speaking of Valentine's Day... in my previous post, I mentioned that I went to a taping of the show, Chelsea Lately. The taping I went to happened to be the Valentine's Day episode! In case any of you missed the episode, it turns out that you can see me from the back! Hahaha 

You can see my friend, RV and I in the front, on the right!
Fun fact: the white lace dress and light brown headband I'm wearing was actually hand knitted by me! :) So I guess I can kind of say that my "Kreations" made it onto tv...?! ;)


Okay, now for my last craving [as of now]: Samoas/Caramel DeLites


I actually have made/attempted to make Samoas before. It wasn't the most successful thing ever.. Back when I was a sophomore in high school, my friends, Annalisa, Nicole, and Lindsay thought it'd be a fun idea to make homemade Samoas. To be honest, it wasn't really totally made from scratch though. If my memory is correct, we made the cookie itself from scratch but cheated when it came to the caramel (we simply just bought caramel pieces and melted it). I mean I would say that we also cheated by using chocolate we melted and shredded coconut that we toasted buuuut you can't really make those from scratch...[technically, it's possible but that would be too much..] We also kind of got lazy and just didn't end up making cookies... we ended up making this.... 
What a beaut, eh? :P
Now for what I was able to make last night...

Before.... [& yes, the caramel was made from scratch this time!]

& after!!!!
 I hope it's safe to say that my baking has improved since sophomore year..?

Chelsea Lately Round Dos!

It's officially Valentine's Day where I am so happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you all have a great day with your valentine! If you don't have a valentine, don't fret. Just think of all of the chocolates that'll be on sale tomorrow! ;) Heh Anyways, so yesterday (2/1313), I went to yet, another Chelsea Lately taping! The last time I went, I brought Holiday/Christmas themed cupcakes to the Chelsea crew. This time I came and brought Valentine's Day themed cupcakes! Here they are! P.S. if you happen to catch Chelsea Lately tonight, look out for a girl wearing a bright red cardigan and headband! ;) Hehe









Valentine's themed cupcakes!
I'm a girl with an iPhone, it's hard for me to not use instagram to filter/"edit" pictures. [Photographers, you must hate me. I'm sorry! I've tried "editing" pictures on my computer countless amounts of times but they always seem to look very odd...]
