Today, I made cake pops! As I mentioned before I want to make them so badly! I decided that I am making them for Easter, so I needed to practice today. The chicks looked adorable, but the eggs just didn't look as good as I would have hoped considering the effort involved. In any case, here are some pictures...

| Cooled cake (after husband had a piece) |
 |
| Crumbled cake (spread out to dry a little more) |
 |
| Balls of cake and vanilla icing |
 |
| Everything it took to decorate - candy melts, lollipop sticks, star decors, spring mix, rainbow chips, corn syrup, spring colored sugars, and edible black markers. |
 |
| Man down! This one was too warm when I dropped it in the warm candy melts. It was properly disposed of - tasted delicious, too! |
 |
| Chickies! |

| Finished chickies and eggs! |
The eggs took a ridiculously long time. I gave up trying to paint on the corn syrup to add the colored "ribbons" because it was falling off in clumps. Adding the individual decorations took a REALLY long time because you have to add a drop of coating to get them to stick. And since you need so little, it dries very quickly.
In any case, they are finished and I am about 90% sure I will not do the eggs again. Unless I come up with a better method...
