Cake Pops

On Saturday I ran a 5K with Pete's cousin Andrea, then on Sunday, Pete started football. I thought a nice reward to running, and something time consuming to do while Pete is gone is to try to make cake pops. They're actually very easy to make and pretty fun!

These were my ingredients:
chocolate cake mix
chocolate frosting
candy sticks
styrofoam
Bakers chocolate squares (or white chocolate)
sprinkles



First i mixed the batter and poured it in a greased pan to bake for 30 minutes.

Once it came out of the oven, i crumbled the cake mix into tiny pieces
then i added half a can of frosting and made it into one large lump.
then all the little balls need to be formed and put on a tray and put in the refrigerator for 1 hour or longer to harden.
these were the sticks i bought to use for the cake pops.
then i bought styrofoam for the pops to dry on. i covered them with plastic wrap so i can use them over :)
after they hardened in the fridge, i stuck the sticks in 1/2 way.
i melted the chocolate and stuck them right in
i tapped off the extra chocolate so they didn't drip too bad.
then i put sprinkles on them!
I stuck them in the styrofoam to stand up and harden.
finished product!! :)
