You may be "Wondering" why I am telling you about the book Wonder. I was asked to make cake pops that looked like Auggie, the main character of the book for the book launch at the LCMS. I call myself a "creative" person but not an "artistic" person. I can't replicate the faces or characters that people ask me to, although that would be a dream of mine to be able to do so. The arrangement below is what I came up with for my take on "Auggie" and everybody loved them and so did the kids.
So now for the REALLY EXCITING PART!!!! R. J. Palacio was in Appleton yesterday and I was asked to make a little cake pop arrangement for her to be waiting for her in her hotel room! How cool is that?!?!?!? Below is a picture of the arrangement I made for her and she also took a "selfie" and I got a copy of that too! Just wish I could have given my cake pops to her in person...oh well...maybe next time :-)
