So, advice to my non-baker friends who want to make cake pops (there are all different kinds to make on bakerella.com) - give it a test run first. I went all in, and was then stressed out when the candy wasn't melting right, and my pops were falling off thier sticks (and poor Josh had to deal with me!). Make them first when they don't need to be presentable. Then you can decide a) how much time you’ll need to make them where they actually look good, and b) if you even want to use your valuable time. I may give them another go one day, but I won’t try to dip two batches in one night! That is for sure! (You at least need two days for this- one to make the cake and form the pops and one to dip the pops in the candy coating.) So without further ado, here are my special carrot cake pops and bunny cake balls. (this reference to cake balls just makes me think of SNL’s Schweddy ball skit… teehee!)
Regardless, the girls loved them! I even made some green cake pops for Jacklin, since it's her fave color. I guess I will measure the success by number eaten, which was all of them!
Has anyone else made cake pops? How did they turn out?
