domingo delicioso - fail

I wanted to make Sadie some rose cake pops for her birthday since I knew she wanted a rose birthday party. Not sure what she had in mind, but I think she just knew she liked roses. I thought these things would be no big deal. I decided to follow the regular cake pop recipe and then use the flower cookie cutters to get some kind of a flower shape that I could somehow make to look like a rose. They started out nice and easy just like the directions made them seem. I molded them into flowers...



And then I started melting the candy melts that you coat with, and it was a disaster from there on. The candy melts melted so weird, actually they didn't really ever melt. They just turned into paste. So when I started trying to cover the cake in them all I got was crumbles covered in what looked like dried up playdo.


So here are the dried up playdo balls. AND I bought some tiny little girl vases to put the flower cake pops in, and they never made it home from Wal-Mart. Big time failure today. I'll probably just be eating the unfrosted cake flowers for days.
