Flashback to a few weeks ago...
My friend Tiff's birthday was right after Thanksgiving, so over the long Thanksgiving weekend, my mom and I made another Birthday Bouquet (version 2!). My brother's girlfriend, Meg, was able to spend Thanksgiving with us this year so we had an extra pair of hands to help! She took care of all the piping.
We have finally found a brand of candy coating that we like to use. My mom likes making sure that our cake pops only sport a very thin coat of candy melt. Otherwise, eating the confection feels like you are swallowing a mouthful of nothing but sugar. Ambrosia's White and Chocolate Bark Coating has worked the best for us so far. It melts into a smooth consistency that makes coating the cake pops a breeze!
We used the same thin candles as we used in our first Birthday Bouquet (which actually aren't candles, but rather, Wilton's Sparklers). Meg and I had to scrape off the wax from the tip to expose the wick to make it look like regular candles.
These were fun to make, and much less work intensive than shaping the birthday cakes in our first birthday bouquet! Lesson learned: spheres are much easier than cylinders.
Anyway, happy (belated) birthday, Tiff! Hope you enjoyed the cake pops! :)
