wedding cakepops

 wedding cakepops for Angela's bridal shower
the idea and instruction came from bakerella...I love her

I baked a devils food box mix and used canned vanilla frosting
crumbled up the cake and mixed in 3-4 generous spoonfuls of frosting

formed them into balls using the cookie scoop
put the balls in the fridge for a while to firm up

I used a 1.5in circle cutter for the bottom layer

and a 1.25in crinkle cut circle for the top layer

you only need about 3/4 of the ball to fill the crinkle cutter

spread coating on the bottom of the crinkle layer to glue the two together
left the middle uncovered and inserted sticks half way through
put the cakepops in the fridge until ready to coat

used guittard chips and mixed in some paramount crystals for a thinner consistency

dipped each cakepop and rotated in/out of coating for even coverage
stuck quins on the top before the coating dried

 quality control

pipped a line of vanilla frosting at the bottom of each layer
and attached the sugar pearls to the frosting one by one

had to watch our for drooping sugar pearls until the frosting dried

finished product

the inside actually looked like a layered cake...amazing

tied some ribbon, cut out a heart, and Angela's wedding cakepop bouquet is complete
I used a clay pot filled with styrofoam and covered it w/ a 12x12in paper
