Over the weekend my aunt and I were testing out cake pops and seeing how to make them before my cousins' birthday so we could make some for the party. I would just like to say don't try making them unless you want to get angry at candy melts. Candy melts are the chocolate coating on the outside of the cake pops used to hold them together. They do not melt right at all for your sanity don't use them use regular chocolate. Anyways we worked on making the icing and the cake for hours them we mixed the icing and the crumbled up cake together. We chilled the mixture then we rolled it into individual sized balls and put sticks into them and froze them again while we worked on melting the chocolate. No lie we spent like three hours trying to melt the chocolate to the right consistency and trying to dip the cake pops into the chocolate without them falling off the sticks into the bowl of chocolate. After awhile we just gave up and ate what was left of the cake balls and just left the chocolate off of them. So I've learned that cake pops don't work unless you have patience ,a lot of patience, and practice. If you don't have any of those things just buy them at the store.
