Our grandson Zachary just LOVES everything
This little boy has the sweetest disposition in the world.... he has 4 older siblings and the patience and sharing nature to prove it!

I appreciate all their input -- but WHO HAS TIME?
So here is Gramma Karen's' version...

2. Make them more round! I had to scrape away some of the odd shapes, some sprinkles.... be careful that they don't fall apart on you...
3. I used the Wilton Red Candy Melts -- melted them with the microwave directions... but then I placed the ceramic bowl over top of a small saucepan of boiling water -- to give me more time to work with the melted chocolate!


5. Instead of dipping, I iced the chocolate onto the donut holes - as there were sprinkles on them to start - it went fine using an icing spatula. Because Elmo has fur -- this works out perfectly!
6. Immediately put the eyes, nose and mouth on - as directed on Bakerella!

This worked out very well.
Zachary (and the other 7 grandchildren) LOVED the Cake Pops!
Funny thing is -- he wanted to lick the icing off the outside -- maybe the next time I will just put icing on them -- instead of the melted chocolate!

Depending on how this one hold up in the wash -- I might consider changing the method of applique and using the one I describe here. Time will tell.
Happy Birthday Zachary!
Lots and lots of Love....
Hugs,
Gramma Karen

Super cute cake pops! I don't have any kind of cake pop pan, so that's a great idea to use them already made!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Zachary!
Those cake pops are unreal! I thought I was a legend making some pink ones and putting a few sprinkles on top for my daughter's birthday. But you litterally take the cake! Well done!
ReplyDeleteSweetness! Creativity without bounds! will use the donut hole idea in the future!! Hugs, Doreen (I love "Melmo", too!)

Hi Karen,

You DO like cardinals -- your blog name even has cardinals in it. :) Do send me a picture of your version of the cardinal pillow.
