The Making of The Cake Pops...

So for part of Brooklyn's birthday celebration this year i decided to try the latest craze and make...
CAKE POPS!!!

If you are unaware of what Cake Pops are.. Just google it and rest assured you will find out! :)

This children were delighted in helping me with this process.....
I was soooooo close to waiting to they were snuggled in their beds to even begin this....
But then realized how stupid that would be.
Never mind a floor covered with sprinkles and messy, messy children...
That's part of the fun.
(try to at least think that, ok?)
(i had a hard time thinking that myself, ok?)
Just letting you know I'm not the perfect mom type...
Ok, on with the making of the cake pops....!!!

I mixed up a cake mix.
Baked it.
Crumbled it.
Added 2 cups of icing.
Mixed it.
Formed it into balls.
Froze them.

Then i got them out of the freezer and let them sit a little....
Warmed up some coating chocolate...
Took a lollipop stick.. Dipped it into the chocolate, then into the ball.
Then coated the ball with chocolate....
Then let the kiddos go crazy with the sprinkles...

This was the perfect thing for my daughter's birthday, because she is a lollipop freak!!! :)

The greatest thing about making these is watching children eat them...

The upside to making cake pops..
They are cute for kids...
They are fun to make..


The downside to making cake pops...
They are actually really hard to make like the magazines (perfect)
They really don't taste all that great (that is entirely my opinion)


Brooklyn, being the Brooklyn she is ate and devoured every bite..
Carter, being the Carter he is ate one bite and said.."Thank-you, but I'm done now!!"
