My first ever cake pops

I'm no Bakerella. That's for sure. But I'm going to attempt these Easter Cake Pops. They are just too cute to resist.

Oh my goodness, after a day of baking a cake, making icing, making the balls, and then decorating them into pops, I am further impressed and amazed by Bakerella! I bow to you, my dear!

And thanks to "the diet" I can't even enjoy one of the fruits of my labor until Saturday. And yes, I really haven't touched not one precious moist crumb.

I used my red velvet cake recipe for both the cake and the icing, then followed the basic cake pop directions. I couldn't find one of the edible ink pens today, so I used tube black icing that I had from the helicopter cake. It worked out pretty well, especially considering this was a trial run.

I'm horribly embarrassed by my lack of photography skill, but I have to post proof that I actually did this. And maybe one day I'll learn to use my camera on a setting other than "auto".
