You know that feeling you get when you realize something that you HAVE TO HAVE??!! But then you realize you haven't seen it anywhere and is it even possible? Well, after researching, we found that they did exist and was possible, but it wasn't here where we are. So we contacted Natalie at The Dotted Apron about this special project we had in mind ~ and luckily for us ~ she agreed to give it a go. A few weeks later, we got the call ~ she had done it! We were extatic and couldn't wait for our samples to arrive! And just as we thought ~ absolutely perfect!!
Needless to say ~ the Pie Pops were used at last weekends wedding on the "Sweet Treats" table and were a huge hit! We could not have been more pleased with the turn out!
Instead of just showing you great pictures of the final product, Natalie, from T
he Dotted Apron, was kind enough to agree to be our first Guest Blogger and give you a step~by~step tutorial!
Enjoy!!!
