Roses are Red

~:: Flour Arrangements ::~

roses are red rose themed birthday rose cake pops

My daughter Tessa has been asking me to make cake pops for about a year.  I’m usually game to experiment in the kitchen, but whenever she brought up the subject of cake pops, I always found some excuse to put her off.  For some reason, the idea of baking a cake just to crumble it up and wad it into balls seemed strange and unappealing to me.  The other thing that got me was this:  every time I looked up instructions for making cake pops, I read that I should bake a boxed cake mix and open a can of prepared frosting.  I love to bake from scratch, so these first steps always deterred me.  I see now that my objections are pretty lame:  nothing was stopping me from substituting whatever cake and frosting that I wanted.
