Cake Pops Take UNO

Soooooo....came home from running errands (one of which was to Michael's to pick up some lollipop sticks and to search high and low for the edible markers to draw stuff on my cake pops)...Was determined to get a batch of strawberry cake pops done #1 to test it out because was unsure of the flavor because I have never had strawberry cake #2 because I now have a dozen cake pops in three different flavors due on Friday one of which was to be strawberry.

I was given free reign pretty much on  what I want to do as far as any design goes so I pulled out my new box of 100 Wilton cookie cutters my Mom got me. It has letters so I molded 6 letters for the birthday girls name, sounds easy enough...popped em in the freezer for 15 min so they would stay in their form when I dipped them. Too bad when I stuck them on the stick and put them in the candy coating they fell apart. Ohhhhhhh my heartbreaking. So the great idea of her name and 30 bit the dust. So I made some hearts since I had pink candy coating...some stars, which turns out are hard to get a uniform coating on. So sprinkles to the rescue to make the uneven coat look more appealing. So I took some pictures after I set up a display rather quickly with floral foam (note to self buy regular styrofoam at Joann's cuz the floral crap leaves a green residue on EVERYTHING!!!!) 

So I followed the instructions on the cake pops, my round ones turned out the best because they are SOLID as opposed to the thinner shaped ones. So it will take a few more batches of practice. I am NOT going to let this get me down...besides I am still exhausted from staying up so late last night. Oh look at the time...

Well I have decided I do not like strawberry cake pops, and I will add less frosting on my next shot because the texture was off. So I will try try again tomorrow with vanilla. Do not laugh at my photos. I call the stars magic wands...
