This post may be a bit deceiving. I like to think that blogs (food blogs especially) are posted in real time. As in, I just made these. The problem is, I made these close to 7 months ago for my besties birthday. Full disclosure.
Here's the thing: homegirl doesn't like big productions on her birthday. Especially if she has to plan it. Give her a hammock and a mimosa, she's set. Then make an obnoxiously cute batch of cake pops and bring them to her office. Best friends are responsible for providing a healthy dose of humility on your 25th.
The most disturbing/satisfying part of this production is the fact that you have to pulverize a perfectly good cake.
Pulse it in a food processor until the crumbs become fine but still defined.
Mix with a tub of frosting, any flavor will do. Form into balls. Grab your lolli sticks and push em' in half-way through the ball. I dipped my sticks in the melted candy coating to act as an adhesive. You don't want your balls detaching from the sticks.
Here's the fun part. Dip the little guys in the
that you've melted in a double boiler. Gently tap off any excess coating. If you plan on using sprinkles, lay it on now, before the coating has dried. I turned an egg carton over and stuck them in to set before wrapping.
Show your best pal how much you love her. Make cake pops for her birthday and talk about them 7 months later.
