A few weeks ago my rockin' husband surprised me with this book I'd been wanting:
It's written by the popular blogger Bakerella. She takes basic cake balls--crumbled cake mixed with frosting--and turns them into creative cake lollipops (hence, cake pops!). Did I say creative? I meant WAYYY creative and adorable. I mean COME ON... do you see those robots on there? How are those even possible??
I had spotted the Valentine's cake pops in her book and was excited about trying them. They look like cute little conversation hearts on lollipop sticks. So Shiloh and I gave them the ol' college try. They turned out fairly well, other than a few cracking. And they did take quite a while to make with a margin for trial and error. In the end, though, I was pretty pleased and we took some to friends and even to our doctor's office to share.
So without further ado, I present to you my first cake pops:
[A couple things I should point out... that is EDIBLE ink pen... and those fun, festive Valentine's Day tags came from here.]
I enjoyed sharing the finished product with my cake pop cutie.
This one was waiting for my big Valentine when he got home from work.
Hope your Valentine's Day was fabulous!!
