i've made them thrice before and to my credit they did turn out well... not so much this time. it started last year for my best friend's birthday, my obsession with these bite-size-on-a-stick delights, and i just cannot stop. while it's true i don't make them very often, it's not for a lack of my thinking up creative and super cute ideas. it's more a lack of execution ability.
the logistics: a regular cake batter mix makes about 60 cake pops. baking, rolling, freezing, stick, icing x 60 + one slightly crazy perfectionist = foul language and a bad attitude. so about 38 (ok exactly) cake pops in i decided they weren't cute enough to share with the world. i should note that i have mild-to-moderate obsession with being martha stewart.
so i threw them all away. yes, all of them and the 4.5 hours i'd spent working on them.
things i wish i knew yesterday:
1. white chocolate doesn't melt the same as dark chocolate.
2. cake pops would come out a lot better if i'd had a couple of glasses of wine while baking.
3. martha went to jail. she's not perfect either.
