Cake Pops - Day 15 9:20 AM

With a little inspiration from my new office friend, who runs a baking/event planning/wedding coordinating business with her sister "Sweet Thing"...(YES, I'm extremely jealous), I took on the challenge of attempting to bake something i have never made before WITHOUT a recipe or instructions to follow.

Cake-pops are the new fad in the baking world. A cake pop is basically cake and frosting rolled up in a ball and then put in the freezer to harden so you can dip them in melted chocolate and maybe even sprinkle them in yummy candy or Oreo crumbs.

For my first attempt i went with chocolate cake and chocolate frosting, most people like chocolate so i figured it was a safe bet. This part actually sounds like the easy part, just simply using your hands to roll frosting and cake in a ball but, the trick was to find the right consistency. Very sticky but very fun!

I left them in the freezer over night and, of course i tried one the next morning for breakfast. Not normally the type to toot my own horn but they were pretty damn good if you ask me...and I'm not a chocolate fan!

I ended up dipping them in more chocolate and then rolled them in sprinkles and Butterfingers crumbs and back to the freezer they went.

I feel like there are so many fun things i can do with these now. And they were pretty simple. I'm glad i have two little brothers as my ginnie pigs!
