I embarked upon a journey…of the cake pop kind.
It was a journey fraught with mishaps and words that are somewhat naughty.
But first birthdays are so special.
So I took one for the team.
I was under the mistaken impression that holding my breath and pressing my lips together would cause the cake ball to stay on the lollipop stick and persuade the candy coating to sheet off in perfect smoothness.
I was wrong. So wrong. I don’t think, in my life, I’ve ever had so much trial and error in one day.
But right about the time I was beginning to curse Bakerella, this started to happen:
Then this developed:
Then this occurred:
Then this transpired:
Then this took place:
And I became a happy cake pop maker indeed, arriving safely to my cake pop destination.
I’m embarking on a different journey tomorrow. Of the stupid-computer-you’re-lucky-I-don’t-sledgehammer-you kind. It’s actually a journey to Best Buy. I tell you, that Geek Squad sees me coming and they say “the usual Mrs. Bee?” and I say “yes please, boys” while handing over my infected computer and my Visa. So, if I’m not commenting on your blogs, please know that I miss you terribly and I’m not being neglectful. I’m just computerless for a while.

Fantastic cake pops! You're one of THOSE moms are you? The kind that make me look bad...
You totally are one of THOSE moms. those are awesome!!
Are you kidding me? What fantastic little gems these are. :)
You will be missed while you are computerless.
I made 4th of July cake pops and I found it to be profoundly therapeutic!
I have read so many posts about these infamous cake balls. I'm so glad yours turned out. I don't think I have the psychological strength to carry out the task...I would give up long before any normal person would, and then commence to eating all the crumbled up cake mixed with frosting. It would be a sad, fat day in my house. There would only be one giant cake ball, and it would have my cake-stained face attached at the neck.
They are too cute, and worth it in the end, I'm sure!
The cake pops turned out so cute! I don't have the heart to actually take a bite out of one.
Your cake pops are adorable and I would love to taste one right now! Hope your computer has a speedy recovery, I will miss you! :)
Love them!
you never cease to amaxze me, elle. what did you major in college, mommery (mine)?
My word those are gorgeous. And I feel your computer pain my friend. It is terrible when the little suckers aren't working correctly.
You totally have put me to shame. I did nothing like this when my children turned one. What a great job. Looks so beautiful and professional. I can hear the ooh's and aah's all the way up here! Enjoy!
I have tried my hand at cakepops. Yikes! MIne never came out even REMOTELY close to yours! Yours look like Bakerella's!
Nice job!
Computer problems are such a pain ... We had a boatload this past summer.
We'll miss you!
Bowing down reverently and worshipping your cake pops and super Mom powers! I want to make cake pops someday....
Okay, I've never heard of cake pops before but they are so cute! Are they really that frustrating? I'd love to try them but I should know if I should clear the house before things get ugly!
Be well..you and your computer!

Oh my goodness! Those are so cute! And well worth all the trouble you had executing them! They will be the hit of the party, absolutely!
Wish I was as ambitious as you are...we have an 8th birthday coming up this weekend. Maybe I'll take a look...just a look, mind you.
Sorry for the 'puter troubles...I certainly know how that goes.
This is cute and so impressive!
Aweseome cake pops!! Wish I could get mine to look that good.
Those are awesome, I want one! Good luck with your computer...
Possibly the cutest food I've ever seen! :o)
Go on with your cake pops! I am impressed! Darling little suckers!
Just remember... computers don't speak English, they speak binary code (this is all I learned in comp. science in college), so cursing at them won't work unless you speak binary... I think it looks like this: 01100110001
note: Don't let young computers read this.
OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! These are the cutest things EVER!!!! I want to make some of those!!!
Hugs,
Amy

They are gorgeous! You did an amazing job on the cake pops. :)
Amazing Cake Pops! You encourage me.. although I really doubt mine would turn out as nice as yours. Bakerella would be proud of you, and so am I! Good luck with your computer woes, and hope to see you back soon! -Tammy
These are fabulous! Seriously, they're gorgeous! xxx
Oh my!!! I've never gotten up the courage to try Bakerella's cake pops. Yours are awesome! :)
