Mollie Bakes: An attempt at Cake Pops

My boyfriends birthday is on Valentines day but the party was held this past Saturday. In his culture, it's unlucky to celebrate a birthday before the date so there was to be no cake and no presents. I desperately wanted to bake a cake and I've been waiting for a reason to try my hand at cake pops so this was my chance. All the research I'd done suggested that cake pops were fun and simple. Not so true, they take a lot of time and are really messy but the end result is a cute, fun little cake on a stick.



The thing with cake pops is that the cake needs to be cold. You have to make it and let it sit in the fridge for a day. Then you have to mush it with the frosting and let that sit for a few hours. Then you have to dip them in chocolate and put them back in the fridge so they can sit some more. It's a process. I attempted to make peanut butter and jelly cake pops and was somewhat successful. I used peanut butter melting chips from A.C. Moore and regular strawberry jelly. I also did regular chocolate and white chocolate mint (because I meant to get regular white chocolate but ended up accidentally getting white mint)



Cake pops are fun but time consuming. People will love them so it's worth it. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone
