How WE do cake pops

Several months or perhaps over a year ago, Cake Pops were all the rage. They were showing up on blogs everywhere. I got to wondering, "What kind of a mom am I having never made them, let alone a blog without a post on Cake Pops?"

Well, I made them for FHE last night thinking I was making quite the treat. Thing is...they make a cheap cake more expensive and why, WHY in the world would I kill myself on making them cutsie for a bunch of boys?

So, I didn't. They were yellow cake with buttercream frosting dipped in vanilla chocolate chips until A saw them and wondered where the peanut butter was. So, the other ones took a bath in peanut butter and MILK chocolate chips. Then they were neatly thrown onto a cookie sheet and forced into the fridge.

After dinner, which was a total bomb, each kid took a bite while I stood there watching with anticipation of being a "cool mom" after each child was sure to go on and on about how amazing they were.

Let's just say I'm glad I didn't buy the sucker sticks, wrap them individually tying them off with cute ribbon and spending hours decorating them.

Ya, the entire tray still takes up a large spot in the refrigerator. Well, all except for the two or three the girls decorated themselves this afternoon.

FYI: Cold set up chocolate and sprinkles do NOT adhere to each other! Let me make myself clear. The sprinkles rebound off the cold chocolate faster than you can say, "go".

I was outside practicing aperature when I decided to check on the girls and found them like this.

Cake Pops. Been there. Done that.

As for the sprinkles that I'll be finding for weeks. I'm grateful. I was blessed today seeing my two little girls who happen to be bffs "cook" together. I mean really. Chugging sprinkles, the lone sprinkle that's stuck in a nostril, watching the sprinkles bounce, eating off the chocolate, and giggling together. Priceless. Thank you Bakerella.
