Cake Pops

Six years old today....and what did she want for her treat at school?  Cake pops!  She had been introduced to these novelties by Auntie Sara earlier this year, and then found a picture of them and requested them....yes, 24 of them....how could I resist this smile....

 So K-Rae helped me bake a cake....according to package directions.....We let that cool completely for a few hours.

Then we crumbled up that pretty cake and added a good glob of frosting (ended us using about 1/3-1/2 the tub) and mixed that in well. 

We shaped the mixture into ping-pong size balls, and put them on a tray lined with parchment paper in the freezer overnight.  Next day we melted 12 cubes of almond bark in the microwave, stuck sucker sticks in the balls, dipped them in almond bark and sprinkled on confetti type sprinkles.

 

 

 

Two days of prep later......cake pops! 

Yes, she loved them!  Totally worth it!
