Post-Christmas Fun

Shortly before Christmas, when I thought my shopping was complete, I was visiting the Bake at 350 blog and read a post featuring this cake pop set.
I knew that my granddaughter "needed" one -- and, truth be told, I wanted to play with it, too!  So, I got online and found one at our Toys R Us.  I ordered it for store pickup and stopped by on my way to work early the next morning.  The day after Christmas, we baked a cake mix and got busy making the pops.  Here is Eleanor, in her cupcake PJs, shaping the balls of cake mixed with icing.

 The set comes with everything you need -- the tray for chilling the cake balls before shaping them, the little molds in four shapes, and the mixing and dipping bowls. 
I failed to get photos of the dipping stage, but here are the finished snowmen faces and Christmas trees. 
 The set also comes with a tray with little holes for holding the pops while the candy coating dries -- very handy!
I think Miss E had as much fun making them as I did!
