Turns out they're a ton of work. I even cheated by not making the cake (crumbling it, forming it into balls, chilling it, etc), I used store bought doughnut holes instead. I thought I was being so smart but it was still super labor intensive and frustrating to make them look good. I should really photograph the reject pile, then maybe you'd feel my pain.
As the husband pointed out though it was self inflicted pain. I could have spent $5 and gone out and bought store bought cupcakes for Annie's class tomorrow. Instead I wanted to spend about $8 and 1 1/2 hours and make something much smaller and not any cooler.
I love learning lessons.

The 3.14 bakery near my house has some bitchen cake balls! If you ever come my way, I'll buy you one. :)
self-inflicted pain is what being a mom is all about. don't you feel cool being able to say "I made those!" rather than admitting to store-bought laziness?
screw the reject pile, the keepable ones are really pretty :)
I've gone down the cake pop (ball) path and it was painful but ultimately satisfying.
They look great! My sis in law makes some really cute ones and she's already hired for Mason's birthday. Serious. I could't imagine what would happen if I tried to make those bad boys. PS. Glad to you have you back to blogging. I've missed you. :)
The worst part about the damn cake pops is the reject pile. I think I've had 7 of them. They're delicious dang it.
