Seriously, try these!

We celebrated Andrew's birthday on Saturday because today is super busy. I made a cupcake for him to eat/destroy and then made the rest of the cake into Red Velvet Cake Pops. This was my first try, but they turned out amazing! I may or may not have ruined my diet and eaten 4 of them.

First: Bake a cake and let it cool completely. (I used a red velvet mix)

Then: Crumble it up in a big bowl.

Next: Add a container of frosting and mix together with your fingers. Form the mixture into balls and put them in the freezer. (I used cream cheese frosting)

Lastly: When the balls are firm, insert lollipop sticks and dip in melted candy chocolate (I used candy melts from Michaels) and let them dry.

I found a big piece of styrofoam that I used to stick the pops into when they were finished. It worked great for drying and for transporting. I still need work on getting the balls nice and round, but not bad for a first attempt. Also, I am looking forward to trying other combinations of cake and frosting. YUM! I love these because they are fancy and delicious... Happy Baking!
