Ambitious Deliciousness – Dont Eat Lazy.

After making these delectable little treats for the second time, I decided that whoever came up with the idea to make cake pops deserves a prize. Or a medal. Why? Because cake pops = little drops of happiness. They make people super duper happy!

Since I promised my friend that I would make her red velvet cake pops, surprised her with them at her bridal shower. Hope you liked them, Susan!

As I’ve mentioned before, I make an exception to my “don’t eat lazy” rule and use boxed cake for cake pops. I added more chocolate, cocoa, an extra hint of acid and a small drop of red food coloring to enhance the flavors and color. But if you’re feeling extra inspired, feel free to use my red velvet cake recipe to bake the actual cake!

About a week ago, I found myself at Starbucks for a late afternoon caffeine fix, when my sleepy eyes dawned on the light pink cake pops in the display window. I thought about buying one. Then I started to think, I wonder if they’re hard to make?

After a rigorous internet search, I decided to give it a try, since they didn’t seem too difficult. As many of you know, Bakerella makes all sorts of creative cake pops, from Hello Kitty shaped ones to miniature wedding cake pops! While cake pops are not anything new, she is largely responsible for making them popular.

It’s a good thing, because when you roll cake into balls and place it on a lollipop stick, it goes from good to absolutely amazing!
