Gianna took me to a dangerous place while I was visiting. We just call it the cake store and it's full of all kinds of fun stuff! I restrained myself and just picked up a candy mold, as I've been wanting to make cream cheese mints for a while (pretty much since Becca's wedding!). Talk of a little girls' tea has come up in a couple of different places, too, so I got the tea cup and tea pot mold:
Did you know it's really hard to take a picture of clear plastic?
The recipe I decided on is listed below and I went for pink. After all, it is a little girls' tea. I followed it as written, though reviewers gave a few tips, like add more powdered sugar and peppermint extract is a fine substitute. And they also suggest coloring the powdered sugar, rather than the dough. I didn't really have a problem...
It took a little while to mix it into a mass, so don't give up!
You also have to roll the dough in fine sugar before molding.
This is something I want to do for Christmas... looks like I'll need another mold!

Those are so cute! I would love to see pictures of the tea party.
haha--me, too! My camera decided to not behave after I got shots of the candies...
yum!
We had such a lovely time at the Tea yesterday! Thanks for everything. And, Cathe, Lizz took lots of pics. :)
