The Thursday Thirteen – July 10, 2014

I’m all about weird desserts lately, maybe because I’m mourning the disappearance of the “Blow Your Kilt Off” Samoas Ice Cream I made last week for the 4th. I don’t normally crave ice cream, but this batch of frozen goodness somehow seemed to change all that. I’m excited to share the recipe with you next week. Since I’m not ready to whip up another batch right now, looking at these sweet treats will have to satisfy me.

1

Pop Rocks Truffle from How Sweet It Is

Think tingly chocolate. Who wouldn’t love that?

Gender Reveal Cupcakes from The Cake Blog

These cupcakes make me wish I were throwing someone a baby shower. Once again, not really, I just want to make these for some lucky soon-to-be mama, and not have to actually go to their party.
