How To Make Cake Pops
Cake pops are one of the best ways to eat cake! These pops you don’t need to lick, and they definitely don’t melt on hot summer days. But they are a one bite shot. They’re even perfect for little ones at birthday parties when they’ve already had enough sugar to begin with and then it’s time to cut the cake. I mean all that sugar on top of the sugar they already had.
They also make really cute bouquets or are just as cute when they aren’t a stick.
So let’s have some fun!
