Cake Pop Extravaganza!

Ever since I stumbled upon Bakerella, I have been obsessed with cake pops!
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!
Have you tried making cake balls?  What works for you?
