This quote has been one I have lived by...I've had to, I have certainly fallen down enough times! Many have been self inflicted...true but if I didn't believe this I would be in a crazy house in the fetal position ;)

fun with cake

I have been dying to make those cake pops that are all the rage now. I was not willing to spend 20 bucks on the cake pop pan, so I found a whole bunch of recipes on how to make them without that fancy pan.  I made a devils food cake, let it cool, mixed in a half a can of frosting (cream cheese frosting), then rolled them into balls, put them in the freezer for about an hour, melted chocolate (almond bark, chocolate) dipped the lollipop sticks in and stuck it into the rolled cake ball, then I swired the cake ball around the chocolate and placed it standing up (I used floral foam),  then I melted white almond bark and placed it into a plastic bag and cut the corner tip to put stripes of white chocolate on the cake pops.  Now this was after a few trial and error runs, but this was the way I found works best, since many of the sites give different information.  Everyone loved them, and you can do so many fun things with this.  I can't wait to try it again....but this time I will give most away since they are VERY addictive :)
