Birthday party fun means baking for me...
I decided to try the cake pop as an alternative to the traditional birthday cake - and also use this opportunity as a dry run for an upcoming bridal shower. If they worked - perhaps we'll do them for that event!!
I cheated all the way.
I bought a cake pop oven maker. It basically cranks out doughnut holes - six at a time.
I bought cake mix at the store and went to town!
I hate frosting. It's complicated, messy, never really sets and is just hard to work with. But I love chocolate. So instead of any frosting mess, I ended up covered in head to toe chocolate and it was great.
We are having a penguin themed birthday party. I knew there was no way I could make an actual penguin out of a pop - not yet anyway - so I went for ice/snowball look.
Here's how they came out....have to say - I'm happy with the results!
And again, thank you Pinterest for all the help in display and ideas!
