Last week I was planning to make cake balls for my friend's farewell party.

My cake balls didn't come out the way I planned but they were still the party stealer.


What do you think?  I love the vibrant colors.   Now that I think about it, they look like Thanksgiving Macy's Parade.

Here are more close up pictures ...

Mickey and Minnie

Bumble Bees

Like my sign?  Bee the first to Try

Toy story character was there too.

Oooh I almost forget to tell you the funny story.
I traveled 2 hours to Atlanta and decided to do some grocery shopping before the BBQ.  I was afraid the chocolate melted so I carry them everywhere.  They sure grabbed everyone's attention.  They asked me if I can sell them one.  I told them they are not for sale ... long story short...I sold one of the strawberry.  Then, I was stopped by someone else again, can you believe it?  This time I had to cut it short, couldn't sell any of these anymore.

I love making these cake pops because there are no limit to it.  You can plan one thing and end up with another better thing.

This can also be a new concept of birthday cake ... no serving needed, don't you love the idea?  imagine, all the kids and grab one and take picture while holding their cake pop.

Remember last week when I did Betty Boop cupcakes?  The cupcakes were so pretty no one dare to eat it.  At the end they are all gone.  But the hit was my cake pops.  Although they are not as perfect as I want them to be but everyone loved them.  My business cards were gone too.  I am so looking forward to get lots of orders.

Anyway, this weekend I'll be going to Atlanta for a farewell party.  Off course I volunteered to bring dessert.

Guess what I am making?
Off course cake pops.  This time I am planning to make different characters.


I have revised my plans so many times : )  It's serious business you know...

I just finished rolling about 50 balls, they are all in the refrigerator.  Tomorrow I will decorate them.  Wish me luck.

I'll take pictures of what I actually make...  Hopefully not too much different from my sketch.

Cake pops look easy to make but I have failed so many times.  I guess I am paying the price for not following instruction.  This time I still made mistake but it was a SWEET mistake.

Up close and personal
