Sarah, our decorator, saw the cake pops on Bakerella's blog and we decided to try them out on Saturday.
I crumbled up some Devil's Food cake and tried mixing a batch with Vanilla Buttercream and one with Fudge Icing to see which tasted better. Surprising to us, we liked the Vanilla better; the fudge gave the cake balls an odd mouth feel and tasted too chocolatey (if there IS such a thing). We didn't use Cream Cheese icing like Bakerella did because we didn't want to have to keep them refrigerated. Next I scooped different sizes of cake balls to see what would work better with the cupcake forms we have. After a stint in the freezer, Sarah and I formed the balls into various "cupcake" shapes. Then we dipped & sprinkled them into the cutest things we'd ever seen. So cute, we're going to add them to our menu.
The first batch is still in the shelf-life-testing phase, but once we've figured out all the logistics of flavor combos, packaging, selling price, & marketing, you'll be able to buy one of these bad boys all for yourself. They're so cute you may just want to gaze adoringly at it and not eat it. You'd better buy two just in case.
