Tawsha’s Holi-Don’ts: Part 1

Making cake pops are said to be easy. The instructions are very basic: 

• Bake a cake (from a box)
• Let cool
• Crumble the entire cake
• Add frosting and stir just until the cake is mold-able
• Make small balls with your sticky cake
• Put in freezer for 20 minutes

That's the idea.

I don't ever do anything small. If I'm going to embark on a new journey, I take it all on the first time. There's something in me that can't just start at the beginning of anything. The same thing happened with these cake pops. Bakerella has a cake pop recipe that is easy and a cupcake design that is cute. It was a win-win as far as I was concerned. So I tried it.

This is what I was going for: Bakerella's Cupcake Pops

But this is what I got.

Close, right?

As I look at this image and survey what went on, I have so many questions to myself. What was the knife for? How did the "balls" become cubes? Did I run out of frosting?

What a wreck!
