Adventure With Cake Pops!

I made my very first batch of Cake Pops today.

First I made the cake balls.

Then I dipped the sticks in chocolate and put them in the freezer to set quickly.


Then I added the chocolate & other tasty goodness
 
so...it was a learning experience.
I was going for the look like these. But mine came out lumpy & ugly.
I think I made the actual cake part too big, it kept ripping out the stick from the weight of itself. Annnnnd, I imagined just dipping them in the chocolate to get a round smooth finish...but my chocolate didn't melt like that. So I ended up spooning it on. Hence the lumpiness.
But I am going to do a bit more research and perfect them. I think they will make adorable Halloween treats. And even tho they were ugly...they tasted AWESOME!!!!

It was a rainy stormy Sunday. 
After church I got right back in my PJ pants.
Perfect!
