Making Cake Pops

Friday night I decided to make Cake Pops. They are exactly what they sound like they would be. Pops make out of cake. It all started with this lady: Bakerella. Then everyone and their Starbucks started making/selling them. I looked over the recipe and then looked at this blog to get a better picture of the process. I went to the store and bought everything, went home and winged it. As in I just made them based of what I remembered from reading earlier in the day. They are easy to make but pretty tedious.

 

Lesson I learned while making Cake Pops:

• Don't over bake your cake, you need it to be moist not dry.  I didn't over bake on purpose i just wasn't careful.
• Use about 3/4 can of frosting not just half. 
• Before melting the candy melts, lower the microwave temperature to low. VERY IMPORTANT!
• Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 2 hours or 30 minutes in freezer before dipping. Not 30 minutes in fridge.
• Dipping must be an art form, one that I am not talented in. 
• if you start at 10pm you will go to bed really late. but you will smell like cake. 
• 5. Next time don't just "wing it" look up directions.  Although, now I'm pretty sure I got it.
• There is a reason they are expensive to order or buy. 
• You will get dirty...or frosty.
• Even with all that, they are still really, really, freaking good!
• They are like Pringles, you cant just eat one. Or five.

Have you tried them yet? If you are interested I know a pretty cool chick that makes them, and no i'm not self promoting I really do know someone that sells them: Betty Lou!
