Cake Pops



My friend, Benji's daughter is getting married on Saturday. She was telling me about her plans for the wedding last month and mentioned that she was going to make 100 cake pops for wedding favors. I knew she was really overwhelmed with everything so I volunteered to make them for her. Never before had I made cake pops but I figured it would be a great opportunity to learn. Yesterday I baked the cakes which was a cinch. This morning I got up early to mix in the frosting and start dipping. I mixed in the frosting, a little less than the recipe called for, but my "dough" was too wet-I could tell that the pops would be too heavy for the lollipop sticks. So fortunately, I had another cake mix-made it and added it to the mixture-just right. It took most of the day but we got them all done-103 cake pops. She was at my house to wrap them in the bags-ready for the wedding. A lot of work for a mouthful of goodness but oh so worth the cute-ness!
