I know this isnt Whats Cooking- but who has made cake pops?!?
I am in charge of food for a baby shower in a few weeks and one of those parts is dessert. I was going to do cupcakes, but I am thinking that Cake Pops might be a good idea. I am not sure if I am brave enough for fancy decorating - however, I can cover and add some sprinkles..
Question is- what cake did you use and what tips do you have for me?
I am also in need of a few finger food ideas. This is supposed to be a super girly shower and I HATE making food for them. Right now I have shrimp salad, tea sandwiches, caprese salad skewers, cheese plate and fruit and veggies with dips. Any other tips?
Re: I know this isnt Whats Cooking- but who has made cake pops?!?
From what I understand, they're easy. You just use a boxed mix, canned frosting, and almond bark to coat.
However, i will say I'm not a fan.
Check out this girls blog. She has what sounds like a really easy recipe to make them.

you menu sounds great!
As far as cake pops, Ames is right - Bake a cake (boxed or homemade), crumble it up, add frosting (canned or homemade). Roll into balls, freeze for like 20 minutes. Stick in a stick, coat in Candy Melt, add sprinkles.
After making them like 8 times in as many weeks, cake pops are the spwan of satan. They are tedious, time consuming, and take a lot of patience to get them coated well and smooth. And I don't think they taste *that* good for all the work they take.
Personally, I'd stick with supcakes, even mini cupcakes if you're looking for something bite-sized. You could make cute pink lemonade mini cupcakes. Would be cute, tasty, and way easier than cake pops.

I'm 100% in agreement on all of these things, even though I'm late. Mini cupcakes are the way to go.
Stand up for something you believe in.
