Tasty Delights and Dazzling Disasters is all about playing in the kitchen and having some fun.

I'll share my delights or my disasters. Yall feel free to join in and create your own posts, share your favorite recipes, what have you.

Tasty Tuesday so just had to make them. 

Zombie Walk 2012...

Welcome to the 2012...Zombie walk!

For our stop on the walk we made Zombie cupcakes.

I saw these on Pinterest and just had to make them. 

Now, I'd planned on being all fancy and whipping up a batch of made from scratch cupcakes. Pfet. Yeah. I totally read a book and bought these suckers instead ;) 

I decorated the heck outta them though!

They're pretty easy to make. Crumbled up cookies for dirt, green coconut for grass. The headstones are cut out of a thickish plastic paper and decorated with a silver sharpie.

What your own zombie hands? Get em here.

And now, some zombie funnies just 'cus I can...

Snagged this one from Laurell K Hamilton's FB page. LOVED it! 

More zombie fun after the break...

Passionately Pinterest: The Button Christmas Tree Ornament + giveaway

Passionately Pinterest happens every couple of weeks here on Herding Cats & Burning Soup so I can indulge my Pinterest addition...guilt free. Taking one pin at a time and making them actually happen...

Have a Pin suggestion? Let me know! 

Now. This week on Passionately Pinterest....

The Button Christmas Tree!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~THE PIN~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Use varying sizes of green buttons to make 

this cute Christmas tree not-just-christmas"

~~~~~~~~~~ WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ~~~~~~~~~~

The link to my pin was broken but thankfully this one was fairly simple and didn't really need instructions.

The hardest part of this one was finding the damn blasted buttons! Sweet Jesus it took me forever! I ended up at 4 different stores before finding enough sizes. 

If you go out looking...ACMoore and Michaels have next to no buttons. Most of mine came from JoAnns. You'll have better luck at stores that focus on sewing projects not just crafts in general.

Passionately Pintrest: Newspaper Text on Nails!

What is Passionately Pintrest? The perfect excuse to indulge my Pintrest obsession of course! Every week or so I'll take one of my pins and actually make it happen. Recipes, beauty treatments, projects. Are they as tasty as they look? As easy as people make them seem? 

This weeks Pin: Text on nails...

Directions attached to pin:

1. Put on nail polish and let dry. 

2. Dip fingernail in alcohol-basically any will do, vodka is suggested. 

3. Press a strip of newspaper big enough to cover the whole nail on to your alcohol soaked nail. 

4. Pull off slowly and be really impressed with yourself. 

5. Paint top coat if desired.

Passionately Pintrest: Peanut Butter Pretzel Sandwiches

Woohoo! My first official Passionately Pintrest post! ::grin::

So what is Passionately Pintrest?! Basically an excuse to indulge my Pintrest obsession. Smirk. I'm going to try for twice a month but we'll see. Each time I'll take one of my Pins and actually make it happen. Not just look at them, oooh and awwww and forget about them. And I just wanna see if I can get the reality even close to as pretty as the pins. 

Feel free to join in and give it a go or suggest pins for me to try. If you join in let me know so I can come check out your success. A link to my boards is over there on the left if you want to see what's over there. 

Passionately Pintrest #1!

And now what actually happened....

Passionately Pinterest!

Alright. I'll admit it. I LOVE Pintrest. I am shamelessly, hopelessly addicted to the thing.

There are just too many fascinating pins on there. So I'm starting a maybe weekly post called Passionately Pintrest. Maybe Positively Pintrest? Hmm. What do yall think?

Basically, instead of just pinning the darn things and forgetting about them I'm going to take one each week and actually make it happen. A recipe, a beauty treatment, a craft project, something funky for the yard. Who knows. 

Just has to be something I've already pinned. 

If any of yall want to join in I'm all for that. Let me know so I can come check out what you've tried. Or if you see something you think I should try let me know either on her or you can shoot me an email to acade29@gmail.com

Easter Treats (A to Z)

Not my eggs

We learned today that I stink when it comes to dying Easter eggs. I've got no talent for it what so ever and have the whole smurf thing going on now. 

So. It all started when I saw this photo of some rubber band eggs and I thought....THAT IS AWESOME!...and decided I had to give it a try. Yeah. Mine. Not so much. First, how they got the dye that vibrant is beyond me. The colors are gorgeous!
