I recently discovered these cute little creations all over the internet and was surprised I had never heard of them before. For whatever reason they got me really excited and I couldn't stop talking about wanting to make them. My friends little girls 1st birthday is this weekend and we were asked to bring a little something to eat. What better opportunity then a birthday party to make cake pops!! It was a really fun project and they taste really good too. A little bit time consuming, but hey...I'm on maternity leave!
Very very easy to make too. I just used a chocolate cake mix and some chocolate icing. You simply bake the cake and then crumble the entire thing in a bowl. Mix in a tub of icing and form balls. I froze the balls for about 4 hours (sucker sticks in before freezing). Then I melted some pink chocolate pieces (bought at Michaels) and dipped them in. Sprinkled a few little sprinkles on them and voila! I'm geek so I went all out and wrapped them in individual sucker bags and added some ribbon. Hey, I have a lot of decorations left over from the candy bar that I had at my wedding last year. Here's some pics of the process.
Great job Eli! These are probably like potato chips...can't eat just one :)
