Here is a reminder to go and enter the Shutterfly giveaway. It ends Saturday night and you can enter once a day!

I had big plans to show you a really cute food craft idea for Thanksgiving. I saw some cute cornucopia cake pops over HERE and thought I would put my own spin on them by using taffy to create the cornucopia. I found some caramel flavored taffy at the store and I thought that would be the perfect thing to roll out and wrap around my cake balls. Last night I made my treats and all was well. It was too dark for a photo shoot though, so I left it for today.

Here is what I found when I looked at my creations today. What on earth happened? The taffy started to slide off and ooze maybe? I don’t even know what that little pile of liquid is.

Your food should never be described as “oozing”

Normally I would just write it off or revamp the idea and move on. However, I thought it might be fun to show you that not everything turns out fabulous on the first try.

I promise it did not look like this last night!

What do you think caused the problem? I’m guessing it was the moisture in the cake ball, but I don’t know. How would you fix it? I loved the look before it all went sideways. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions. Maybe you can regale me with a tale of one of your own craft fails. Sometimes you just need to laugh at yourself!
