So on a trip to Target with the parentals, i came across the book section. I saw this cute book called “Cake Pops” that you can check out on www.bakerella.com. This started a whole new outlook on cakes for me. I recently became interested in making cakes from watching on those cake shows on cable… cake boss, etc and thought how fun it would be to create extravegant cakes like that. A friend of my moms makes cakes on the side and she does awesome work. So i figured i’d give it a shot. I made my first attempt of making a cake using fondant and it came out pretty good. Real simple but its the first time so i wanted to ease into the harder stuff gradually. Here is what my first cake looked like:

It was a white cake with frosting and the fondant on top. I need to work more on getting the frosting smooth so the fondant looks smoother. Then i saw this fabulous book =) this is an awesome book with very detailed instructions on how to make these lil treats. Here is what the book looks like . So i decided to make my first attempt on this the day after i got the book (which was a sunday). I went to Michaels and the market to pick up the needed ingredience to make the snowmen pops. I started making the cake at about 4ish… i didnt know this was going to take me hours to finish lol. I wouldnt consider myself what you’d call a patient person… so trust me when i say that i mustve really enjoyed doing this because i didnt finish decorating all 36 pops that i made till 12:30am!!!!! I was beat! My feet were hurting for standing for almost 8 hours. I’m sure my next batch wont take as long because i know what to do now and how to have my work area prepared. So here is what my first attempt looks like =)

=) and i took some to work for everyone and they all liked it!!! I have 2 orders for some for the holidays =) and my fam liked them too!! Next i’m going to attempt the owl pops in red velvet!! yummmerz
