Cake Pops

Have you ever been to Bakerella's site? That woman is amazing. She makes everything so beautiful. She has a section on her site devoted to Cake Pops. According to her instructions, the cake pops look very easy to make and decorate. Mindy and I being the baking savants that we are, decided to make some.

Luckily, Mindy baked the cake, frosted it and rolled it into little balls before I even got there. My only job was to bring the white chocolate to melt.



A few tips here....

1.) Dip your lollipop stick into the chocolate before you stick it in the cake. The stick will stay in much better.
2.) Only work with frozen cake. Once that stuff defrosts you're in big trouble.

The fun part is rolling the cake pops into the chocolate coating.



The next best part? Actually decorating the pops.



We decided to go with an Easter theme. It was working out for the most part, until the cake pops started sliding off of their sticks.



Bless their hearts, we tried really hard. I'm thinking that the pros would have to use a mold or something to shape that stuff into something semi-professional looking. Plus, I would think that the pops would have to stay in the mold until they have dried because that was when we ran into big problems with the cake pop staying on the stick. It was just too heavy for it.



As you can see, the little guy on the left and the one in the right, back corner didn't make it. Although I think that the cardboard box is a good addition as a cooling rack.
