Bakerella is famous for her Cake Pops. She makes really cute pops for all of the holidays, and this time around I couldnt resist trying them! My friend Sara and I spent an entire day decorating our cute little creations (some of which are pictured above).
We started by baking cakes from a cake mix. After the cakes baked and cooled, we crumbled them into a bowl and mixed them with frosting. Next, we rolled them into balls (about the size of a quarter). The balls needed to go in the freezer for a few minutes while we melted our candy melts. It was necessary to dip the lollipop sticks into the chocolate melts before putting them into the balls. This made it so the balls wouldnt fall off the sticks. Once the balls were all on sticks, we placed them into foam blocks and put them back into the freezer. After a few minutes we were able to dip the cake pops into candy melts and decorate away. Its amazing what you can do with cake sprinkles and confetti!

I might do this cake again, just to see if I can have it turn out better. lol-just so everyone knows in case anyone favorites it!
There are some people and sites I'd like to mention here, ones that I haven't pointed out before. I've found quite a few people on the 'net that have been very helpful, not only that but they also encourage and inspire me. Some of them I've mentioned before (tonedna, Mayen, fairytalecakes) but here's a few more:

This woman is the reason I started experimenting more with my cake flavors. Because of her I started adding coffee and sour cream to my chocolate and yellow cakes and the cake in this video is the Brown Sugar Buttermilk Cake she has listed on her site. Oh my goodness, thank you so much for this, I can't wait for NYE to combine both cakes into a taste masterpiece! (ok, I know, a little froofy but still, it's awesome)

I think this is a bakery but wow it's just amazing. I can't remember how I came across this site, every once in awhile I'll type 'buttercream cakes' into Google and check out the pics that come up. Her gallery used to be set up differently so it was easier to see the cakes though :(
And here's the link to what I used as inspiration for this cake:
