My failed attempt at Foofa cake pops
I've recently come across a divine bake blog ( I consider myself to be somewhat of a bake-aholic) I found a recipe for red velvet cake balls. I successfully made a batch and they were beyond delicious!
Ive been planning little things here and there for my sons party in June (Its still a while away, but planning is so much fun!) So I got in my head an idea that I just had to try. Why not make these yummy cake balls and make them into Yo Gabba Gabba characters for the party? Bakerella does amazing stuff so I thought I could too.
I followed her instructions and then stuck them on lolly pop sticks...and attempted to decorate. I used pink candy melts for the Foofa color, I used m&m mini's for the center of the flower and a white and red candy melt pen for the details... oh and chocolate sprinkles for the eyes....
This is what I ended up with...
I know they're not great(the 4th one from left to right makes it look like Foofa fell off a skyscraper) The look on my sons face confirmed it as well, he looked at me as if he was saying "mommy what happened to foofa?"....so we ate her, she tasted a million times better then she looked that's for sure
So why would I share my terrible attempt at making these? Well I try to be as crafty as I can be, I know that someone else might be able to do this right and impress their kiddies and family members! so give it a go! (post pics if you do!)
I hope I gave you some ideas for your party snacks, these are not only delicious and not good for anyone dieting, but they are the perfect bite sized cake balls for the little ones, my son just loves them!
I think you did a good job much better than I would have done had I tried. But sometimes the funny something looks the better it taste lol.
I think you did a pretty good job...at least you tried...good luck next time. Im sure they tasted great!
I would love to try and make these! They look so yummy! And personally, I think they look adorable!
im thinking u should try rolling it out but then pinching it into a teardrop shape. loose the nose. and buy those candy shapped flowers that go on cakes and add it on top
I have also been reading up on these on cafemom. I had planned on making them last weekend but got sick so I will attempt to make them this weekend. I had also thought about making them into YGG. So we will see how they turn out. I have red so I guess I will be making muno!!
