Do you know Bakerella?  If not, well, I don’t either, but by oogling over her blog, she can be your cake ball idol, too.  Serious cake ball magic.  I mean, really, who’da thought you can take cake crumbs, mix them with frosting, dip them in candy coating, and create the absolute cutest creations????  Santa must’ve known just what I wanted when he picked out Bakerella’s book through my referral link, Cake Pops, for me this Christmas. 
 
Since I had a bag of cake crumbs leftover from Grace’s birthday cake, I finally had a good excuse to stop drooling over the Cake Pop pictures and actually give some a try! 
 
 
Ice cream is definitely a favorite around here.  Grammy starts the kids out on dry cones (the regular kind) about the same time I start them out on rice cereal (okay, that may be a slight exaggeration).  And the number of vegetable bites at dinnertime increases dramatically when ice cream cones are passed out after dinner. 

These candy ice cream cones were a bit less messy and withstood a good amount of running and playing outside while in hand.  And they’re just so cute!  I love the “spilled” cone amongst the others.  The girls kept alerting me that one had spilled; they just couldn’t understand that I had “spilled” it on purpose. 

I didn’t have all of the suggested supplies on hand, so I substituted heart sprinkles and jelly beans for the pretty regular sprinkles and peanut m&m’s.  I also didn’t have a nice light pink candy coating, so I tried to pink up my red with some white – instead of pink, I got kind of a milky marbelized red ice cream “flavor,” which I didn’t love as much as the original.  good to know – candy coating colors don’t mix well.  but, mmmmm…they sure were yummy!  I’m looking forward to another excuse to try some more Cake Pops.
