Happy Independence Day!

 We are having a cook out with some of our favorite relatives and then we will go off and watch fireworks.  How exciting is that?  This will be the first time I've gone to the fireworks since Mxyl was born!

To celebrate, Klenda and I made a cake and decorated it with these candy fireworks.

They are way easier than they look.  I got the idea and instructions here. Basically you make lollipops (boil sugar, water, and corn syrup) and then you drip the molten candy onto baking paper.

We did a white background leaving one big drip for the handle, and the drizzled blue and red to make the firework bursting effect.  I made sure to make at least one for each kid.
