Cupcake Pops

I had this long post written about the happenings of this past week and just when I was ready to save it, it went *poof* and I lost it all!! Aaargh! Maybe the laptop is trying to tell me to write less!! Anyway, will try again on the next post.

Here’s some cupcake pops that I made a couple of weeks ago. I have been wanting to make this ever since I saw it on Bakerella’s blog. They are just the cutest thing ever. So when a friend had a birthday party recently, I decided to make some. That way, I can share the “calories”!! hehe…

The cupcake pops were relatively easy to make but it’s a little time-consuming due to different steps required and all the refrigeration/freezing time needed. For this first attempt, I used the boxed cake mix and canned frosting just to try it out.

I had a little trouble with the molding of the cake because I didn’t have the right size cutter. So it was a little hard to get it into the shape that i wanted. But I think they still turned out pretty cute for a first attempt.

Guess who was very excited to make these pops?? My little princess! I think it’s something to do with the pink frosting and sprinkles galore, you agree?? Throughout my baking process, I was bombarded with ” Mommy, can I put the sprinkles now??” “now, mommy?” ” how many more minutes??” Can you feel the enthusiasm? Next time I am making it all the prep work after her bedtime!!
