Valentine's Treats

I mopped my floor tonight, something I don't do very often for how much I really like clean floors. The reason stemming partially from this mess below. I read Bakerella's blog, link on side, and she is always making cute things out of these "cake pops" as she calls them. They sounded super good to me, so I decided I would make some Valentine's Day ones. These are not as easy as she would have you believe.
I chopped up Dove chocolate for Aaron and Megan.


Made two cakes and crumbled them into some cream cheese frosting to make a slurry. Note: This never really got that firm, even after going in the freezer, so it was hard to work with.


There was red all over everywhere. This reminds me of Castaway...Wiiiilsooonn!


Forming the shapes and dipping them

I really liked decorating them, of course, the easy part. I was so sick of these, smelling them, working with them, that I didn't even try one that first day. So I was giving them out without knowing if they were even good. Luckily they were, but I think next time I would use a different cake mix, even though the red looks pretty. The flavor just didn't cut it for me.
