One day, as I procrastinated, I came across this new book all about these wonderful things called cake pops. They were beautiful, and, from the recipe, they sounded ridiculously simple (in one of them her 1st grade daughter was doing most of the work. I mean come on). I showed Rachel and we promptly decided to make them. I ordered the book off of Amazon and didn't really think about it for a few weeks until I got this email saying it wouldn't be here until November. I had no idea these things were so in demand! Anyways I then ordered it from Target and got it within a week (which just so happened to be the day before our final class). Rachel and I excitedly flipped through the book and found the perfect recipe: pirate cake pops. With this in mind, I ran to Gucci B and gathered all but the sticks and colored candy coating (just in case you ever want to do this, go to a craft store for these two). I returned and Rachel made the cake (it was a Paula Deen mix; sooo good). After the cake had baked and cooled, I crumbled it up and threw some white icing in the mix. The cake balls were molded and placed in the refrigerator to firm up. Rachel and I then awkwardly dipped them into the melted white chocolate candy coating with a spoon and tried our best to make them look pretty. What mattered more than anything was how they tasted, and oohh were they good. We'll definately have to make them again really soon.

Cake balls are sooo the new cupcakes.
