A few weeks ago the boys went camping and the girls partied at home. Olivia wasn't feeling well and fell asleep early so Kylee and I watched a video on making cake pops right before bed. Kylee wanted cake pops so much she could hardly settle down to sleep. So I told her we could buy stuff and make some.
Let me just say cake pops are A LOT of work: making the cake, baking it, crumbling it, making frosting, combining the cake and frosting, forming it into balls, chilling them in the fridge, dipping them, chilling them again, decorating them, chilling them AGAIN, and then you can eat them. The whole process took us at least a week (between school, recitals, concerts, lesson, scouts, and meetings).
Although cake pops are fun to look at and decorate, I'm all about the speedy sugar intake. Sometimes making cookies seems too long and I just make cookie dough or eat chocolate chips to cut down on the time it takes for the sugar to reach my blood stream.

She's in heaven crumbling up the cake.
All three of them had fun mixing the frosting in to the cake crumbs and forming balls.
And then the cake balls "chilled" in the fridge for a week while life went on. :)
Then, while Steve was gone on a Scout campout we finally buckled down and they finished their cake pops. Well, they were more like cake plops because the balls fell apart a bit, but they had fun and we had a good laugh.
