My journey though making cake pops (we call them cake balls) turned out to be an adventure. I bought a contraption guaranteeing perfect balls of cake, but you know what they say about perfection, that’s right, only I am perfect (keep reading and you will see how this is a bold-faced lie). Anyways, even though I used the exact measurements (1 box of cake) to fill the pan, the entire thing overflowed, leaving me scraping what must’ve been 1/3rd of a cake off the top. Lucking by carefully pulling each ball out to safety and surgically removing the excess cake, the balls turned out fine!

After the cake balls were done the next day (today), I had to “frost” them, which meant coating them in white chocolate candy. I burned the first batch. The second attempt turned out better but instead of simply dipping them into the candy, I had to individually coat them with my fingers. This wasn’t so bad except for I turned into a human piñata because all the cupcake liners and everything imaginable suck to me.
** Note: If you are going to brave making cake balls I advise having florist foam to put them into dry or cupcake liners like I did, which makes them go upside down.**

Anyways, After finding a solution and coating the balls, and decorating them i realized although my cake pops will never look like the perfectly manufactured Pinterest clones, I am still proud of this accomplishment. And even though they look more like zombies than Aliens, they’ll all taste like cake, which is the point.
