Cake pops!!

Check out this cute book I found!
One evening I needed a bit of time to myself so I headed over to Chapter's book store and just wondered around for awhile. I searched photography books, cook books and everything in between. Both my boys birthdays are in March and this year I want to make there cake myself. Their cakes last year were cute but I didn't care for the fondant at all and everyone ate the cupcakes I had made rather then the cakes that I paid a fortune for. So this year I am going to make them something special. Of coarse Gage wants a Thomas the train cake so I thought it would be fun to make a train cake and then in the caboose, some of these fun cake pops. Or I might just make the cake pops. Kids never finish there whole piece of cake and these are small and fun!
They don't have any train cake pops in this book but I'm sure they couldn't be that hard to make! Practice makes perfect :)
But don't you just love those little chicks and I think the owl's are my fave!
Absolutely love these little farm animals!! To cute indeed :)
And I just had to share these popcorn ones! I thought they were super fun.
These little cakes are something I am sure I can pull off, much easier then trying to make some huge beautiful cake lol.
So I might do a practice run in the next few weeks and I will totally share the outcome on my blog. Wish me luck :)
And speaking of cakes, my in laws came for dinner the other night. We had a nice roast with gravy, a flavored chicken and wild rice, broccoli with melted cheese and of coarse for dessert I made an awesome Devil's food chocolate cake with a white fluffy icing and in the middle I chopped up strawberries very small and mixed them with a bit of sugar. Those strawberries in the center if that cake just took it to the next level.
Delish ;)
