This post is not about writing, but just as cool.

What are cake pops you ask? Well they are the most amazing decadent desert ever! I found them on the internet and made them for my sister’s baby shower this past weekend. Not only are they good to eat but they are too cute. My BFF for twenty years, Katie, was in town and she did most of the decorating. She is artsy like that. I put them in little blue tins with brown floral grass and they were amazing. They were a HIT at the party and everyone wanted to know how to make them, so here it is:

1. Make a cake, whatever flavor you want.
2. Cool completely, crumble in a bowl. Mix in one tub of icing until kind of pasty.
3. Cool in refrigerator for a couple of hours.
4. Pull out and form into bite size balls, size of a quarter. Tray them out and put back in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.
5. Melt a little “Candy Melts” and dip one side of your stick into candy melt then insert into balls.
6. Put in freezer for about an hour.
7. Melt rest of candy melts and dip the balls in the candy melt. Spin off excess (carful not to spin off the cake). Stand upright in Styrofoam to dry.
8. Decorate. Get creative. Make sure they are wet if you want to do sprinkles. We used icing and gel icing. The gel icing took to long to dry, I would not recommend. We also used plastic babies (not edible).

 It’s so fun but very time consuming. We trashed about 10% of what we made so be sure to give your self extra. You can find u-tube videos online. Have Fun!

Cake Pops Katie and I made in blue tins from Target

The "C" stands for "Carter" the name for my soon-to-be-nephew. The plastic baby was kind of creepy, but I liked it.

They look like alien planets, but taste sooooo good!

PS – Still waiting to here back from the book agent full read, keep praying.
