Cake Pops Trial ~ Take 2
Guess how Take 2 went??
=)
End of a Long Day…
Embarrassing photos of myself…
*ugh*
thanks Hubby!!
Can you say a little frustrated?
I don’t know why he did not listen when I said
“Go AWAY” !!
Apparently he found my facial expressions
and my frustrated obnoxious noises funny!
*sigh*
Despite the frustration
of putting TOO much frosting in our cake pops
Never mind that I have the book in my hot little hands
and I could have read that you only need 3/4 of the can of frosting
BEFORE I made them!
Whatever!
I am a “peek” at the instructions kinda girl
and sometimes I regret it!
=)
I prefer to learn hands on… ya know?
Do you think Bakerella would come to my house
and give me a personal hands on training before Friday? =)
Angie??
I learned her real name after I brought home her book!
Seriously…
Some of our decorating turned out really cute…
despite all the drama and madness!
Hoot Hoot ~ Cute Cute!
Ignore the fact that there was TOO much frosting in the cake pops
and they kept falling off the sticks b/c they were too soft
Never mind I couldn’t shake the excess candy melt stuff off properly
with the same ease as Bakerella in THIS VIDEO
Because I tapped the stick and not my wrist…
maybe they would have turned out smoother
and not fallen off the stick ~ IF I had paid attention to DETAIL!
Whatever!
=)
So what if you look closely at the tummy and it looks lumpy, right?
Who cares if the candy writers didn’t really work
we can use candy for the feet!
They are for 10 year old little girls…
they don’t care and besides… those were TEST pops!
I/we tried making the cupcake cake pops as well…
Can you say…
DISASTER!! Oh My Word !! =)
TOO MUCH FROSTING = TOO SOFT!
Oh well…
we just cut the tops off
RE-froze them and dipped them as flowers!
Cute ~ not what we wanted but CUTE!
We “might” try to make the cupcake ones again…
on the day of the party
why not?
We can always teach the girls to “go with the flow”
and if they are not working…
we can cut the tops off and dip them as flowers!
Life lessons at a birthday party…ha!
Just Smelling the Roses… on a bumpy road!
snicker snicker!
That’s my Story and I am sticking to it!
=)
Seriously…
We are very happy with the ones that turned out ~ for the most part!!!
If we could just get the cake inside to cooperate and keep them on the sticks
NOW that I realize EXACTLY which instructions/details I OVERLOOKED =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wanna See What I did with half the cake balls at 8:30 pm last night??
it felt OH SO rewarding!
especially after my self inflicted disasters!
I was SO DONE! =)
Tomorrow (today) Will be a Fresh start!
But I think I will make felt finger puppet owls today! ha ha!
All joking aside this IS exactly WHY I did trial runs!
In the End ~ We successfully learned a few important details!
Friday will be a smashing Success!
well
Hopefully not smashing! =)
Have a Lovely Cake Pop Free Day!
Jenn~
Oh and…
You all know my “vintage” camera is really NOT vintage… right!??
it is only 7- 8 years old!!
Given where technology is today…
That $500 baby is only worth a mere 50 bucks IF I am Lucky!
and Do you KNOW how hard it is to find 35mm FILM??

I love the owls, they are pretty cute! Wow girls, you have got some patience…and self control. I might have eaten all those leftover cake balls!
September 21st, 2010 saat: 12:59 pm
I can’t believe you didn’t eat the leftovers. I hate projects that give me faces like that! 🙂 Good thing you did tests, huh?! The party is going to be awesome, and the owls are ADORABLE! Lovely! Your daughter is a very blessed girl to have such an awesome momma.

thank you for sharing your trials of cake pop wars. those were great.

I know the feeling exactly. I have some pics of me looking just like that last year. I made some pumpkin ones and it took many disasters to get a few that worked! But, I will probably make some more. I just got her book a couple weeks ago but haven’t tried to make any yet.

September 21st, 2010 saat: 8:35 pm

LOL I have a boat load of 35 mm film that I bought years ago. I wonder if it’s still any good?
You know I tried cake pops once and I about pulled my hair out. Then, when they were all done, they didn’t even taste good. My kids wouldn’t eat them and I had to throw them out. All that aside though, I have been thinking of making them for my baby’s party next week. I wonder if it’s worth it?????
