Operation: Cake Pops

I got a Babycakes cake pop maker for Christmas.. I was debating weather to keep this or not, because I had rather wanted a donut version.That just popped up red for spell-check. Is that not how you spell donut? Anyway, we decided to give it a try last night.

Cake pops are traditionally make by crumbling cake and mixing in frosting, dipped in candy melts or almond bark . They have been all the rage- trendy and are  cute and creative. Google them. So cute! The kit that I received came with recipes, so we went with vanilla. After a trip to Michael's for foam blocks, candy melts, and New Year's sprinkles, we were ready to go.

We piped (put the batter into a decorating bag) the batter in the pop maker because if we had used a spoon, it would have been an absolute mess. We cook the pops for 6 minutes, then pull them out with an included prong tool. Let me just say that I think the recipe batter was the best batter I've ever had!

The first batch.

"Say blog post!"

The dipping/decorating station

Dip the Lollipop stick in the melted candy melts. (We melted ours in a miniature Crock-Pot) Stick the lollipop stick in the pop and dip the pop in the candy melt. make sure that you get most of the drip off, but naturally , that is hard to do.

Drippings- I thought they were rather unique.

The finished project. Don't worry , this isn't all, some are in the fridge.

Can I have some too?

Just skimming through pictures and decided to share.

My view on: The Muppets

 

What can I say? They've done it again! This post was wayy overdo because I saw it over Thanksgiving! Housekeeping, anyone? Anyway, to sum up this amazing musical, the little Muppet in the tux at the bottom is Walter. Walter is obsessed with the Muppets, and they are what got him through life. When his brother, Gary , (Jason Segel) and Girlfriend Mary, (Amy Adams) go to Los Angelos for a romantic trip, they take Walter with him to see the Muppet Studios.There they discover that Muppet Studios is going to be demolished, so they  get the gang back together. One of my favorite things about this movie are the cameos that randomly pop up in the movie. (celebrity guests) Selena Gomez, Neil Patrick Harris, Whoopie Goldberg, etc. Another is this movie is for EVERYONE, and I mean EVERYONE. When I went to see it, there were toddlers with their parents, grandparent-aged people, people in their thirties that were singin' along.Go see this movie!
