Cake Pops First Try

What do you do with extra cake and extra icing when the birthday cake is finished? Make cake pops!

No directions here, there's plenty on YouTube.

I did it and turned out pretty good and not bad enough to be a Pintrest Fail!

Beginning prep with extra white cake, icing, pop sticks, 

Now don't forget the candy melts!

First thing was to break up the extra vanilla cake into crumbs. 

Next, I folded in the strawberry icing. I put in just a little too much. 

Then I rolled up the icing and cake crumbs into balls. I then put the sticks in. 

White chocolate candy coating for the inner coating. 

Next I put on the strawberry candy coating for the outer shell.

Then I decorated with milk chocolate. I've never done this before so I had to fix the piping bag after the lower left disaster. The rest of the piping came out but I'm sure I could do better with some more practice.

Here's another view. No secrets.

The family liked them and we got to use the extra cake and icing that didn't make it to the birthday party.
