Like everything else, working in the kitchen takes practice...and in my case, it takes more than the average person! Mom bought me a cake pop maker for Christmas so I thought I would try it out. It does a wonderful job making the perfect little round cake balls. After making 48 of them (it makes 12 at a time, 5 minutes each batch) I knew it was going too well. I used the recipe book to make the frosting. I combined a can of chocolate frosting with [a liquid ingredient I can't seem to remember] and microwaved. It came out like a donut glaze and dripped all over the place. It was really yummy, but couldn't hold it's shape or harden. Take two! I had some white chocolate chips and I started to microwave those slowly as indicated on the bag. After burning the first batch, I had to try again. This is a very slow process, only 30 seconds at a time! Well, as you can see, they did hold their shape and harden, but stuck to the cake pop stand...So, after much help from the FaceBook community I learned: 1. Use candy melts. They are much more successful. 2. Stand up cake pops to harden and dry. I'm not giving up yet!
