You remember the cake that first broke in half (at which point I should have declared it a wrecked pirate ship and kept going!!!) then the second one I finished at 2 am got squished so pirate cake three was served at the damn party. <br /><br />YOU found this hilarious, so it is entirely possible that some of your cake problems result from a cake curse I places on you that long ago day.....Just saying. Love you anyway. Glad it did eventually work out.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508414439548446424.post-59218017164539596412012-06-22T11:06:43.435-07:002012-06-22T11:06:43.435-07:00OK so I feel your cake pop pain. Here are some ti...OK so I feel your cake pop pain. Here are some tidbits I myself have learned in this department, or as I think of it, "Pinterest, you lying bitch" <br />Rarely is anything as easy as it looks on pinterest.<br />That is the most important rule EVAH.<br />Here are some others.<br />If you have a winco supermarket near you, or one with a good bulk foods section, look for white vanilla melties there. You can color those and they are cheaper than Wilton melties. However to get regular food coloring to work with any chocolate meltie, you need this stuff called "Flo color" which will prevent the entire chemistry of chocolate from going to shit when you want to color it. Damn science.<br />I use royal icing to decorate cake pops, because I always have it on hand from making fancy assed cookies. (Plus, it can sit on your counter in a sealed container for a few weeks.) Royal icing works better, but I know most people are scared of it or don't have it. Don't fear the icing. If you are crafty a little it might be worth it just to get the plastic Wilton candy melting bags and a few #2 tips just to have. On my site, I have links to some awesome easy peasy clean up frosting bag strategies that are seriously, the best tips I have ever read. They could apply to cake pops for sure.<br />That is my two cents. <br />Your pops were adorable, btw! <br />Now I am off to decorate 6 dozen boob and moustache cookies. <br />Don't ask., lolChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641608146130175073noreply@blogger.com
