I have tried her strategy of "messing up" on a cake and rolling it together with cream cheese frosting. But the balls never came out uniform and my hands got so messy.
Then I came across this nifty little invention...
What an adventure this was!!
You start with a regular boxed cake mix and a box of instant pudding the same flavor as the cake.
You mix the cake and pudding powder with a little less water and a little more oil.
You fill the bottom pan halfway in each semi-circle cup. Be careful not to fill it up too much...or batter spills out the top of the pan.

| I filled mine too much and batter came through the top! UH OH! |
 |
| But the messed up tops were like little yummy mushroom caps! Delicious with a glass of milk!! |
 | |
| The cake balls come out perfectly round! |
 |
| I used candy melts to coat the cake balls....still an art I have yet to perfect! |
 |
| Not as cute as Bakerella's, but they'll do! |

All of your pictures here describe just exactly why I have NOT tried to make cake pops.
ReplyDeleteTake a yummy easy to make treat. Make it tiny and really hard to make. Um....why exactly?
At Starbucks they sell cake pops for $2. Literally a BITE OF CAKE for $2.
Personally I'm sticking with my slightly less cute but infinitely easier and still just as yummy cupcakes ;)
I agree that Starbucks is over priced bites of cake....
DeleteBut the pans are pretty easy....
Sad part is I really don't like eating them with the icing....so the balls are pretty damn good!
