I know, I know, Christmas is over but I did this cute dessert for one of my family parties and thought I would share. These cake pops can really be used for any occasion. I came across this idea over at Hostess with the Mostess. I have been reading and drawing inspiration from this blog for years, it really takes party planning to the next level!

My cake pops didn’t turn out as pretty as Hostess with the Mostess but I was slightly rushed and they tasted so good it really didn’t matter. Check out her site for the full instructions.

First, you bake a cake…or two and mash it up in a bowl

Next you mix in icing and mash it all up.
Wondering what those things are in the background? Oh that’s just my cat’s Christmas outfits that I use to decorate the vases when she’s not wearing them. She really loves it when I dress her up…LOL

Then you form the cake into balls and let it sit in the fidge to harden a bit.

After the balls have harden (mind out of the gutter) you add a stick, dip them in chocolate and because it was Christmas I sprinkled candy cane pieces on top. I LOVE all things peppermint so this was the best part for me.

Let them dry and eat!
