Birthday Part Two: Just Like In My Head

Frosting and decorating was a rousing success! I was too focused on the task at hand to get proper photo documentation, sadly.

 I used the basic Wilton buttercream recipe, adding half a teaspoon of mint and leaf green coloring for the Thin Mints and gobs of Hershey's caramel syrup to the Samoas. I toasted some shredded coconut in the toaster oven and it came out perfectly! I used the same mint ganache from the previous post to drizzle on the Thin Mints and it's a little goopy because I used a spoon. I got better results drizzling the Samoas because I melted some dark chocolate chips and poured them into a piping bag, snipped off the tip and viola! 

Overall I am super proud of how they turned out. They look just like I imagined them in my head, and they are going to knock everyone's socks off!
