I am a big fan of Bakerella! Her pictures of her gourmet treats are just incredible. I get hungry every time I click over there. After craving her red velvet cake pops for quite some time, I gathered up the ingredients with high hopes of perfecting these and wowing everyone with my new found talent!
red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting
I baked my red velvet cake, let it cool and then mixed in a can of cream cheese frosting…yumo!
cake on a stick!
I rolled this sweet cake into little balls, and carefully inserted a stick into each ball before putting them in the freezer for several hours, anticipating the excitement to dip them into my pink bark. I picked pink in honor of breast cancer.
I melted a bag of pink meltaways from Michael’s and starting dipping….
Bakerella I am NOT!
I dipped, the cake started coming apart, it was not smooth, the sticks were coming out too! My visions of becoming famous in my hometown for cake pops were gone in a dip! With each dip the got uglier and uglier! I just started laughing at each one! I even had an audience for this adventure…they laughed with me…not at me!
tray of ugly
This is my end result….Bakerella I am not. But, I will tell you that the taste was DIVINE! They were so yummy! Rich red velvet cake with that sweet cream cheese frosting in the perfect bite size treat.
I will attempt again…I have not given up. I dream of one day having a tray of perfect looking cake pops!
Even though these were not a huge success in the visual department I sure have enjoyed eating them! So, I will enter them into Kimba’s DIY day for a chance at her wonderful giveaway’s she has on Tuesdays. Who knows, maybe she will take pity on my failure!

I have been wanting to try this myself ever since I saw them on Bakerella but never have…Things look so easy but then they just don’t look the same as others do it…Maybe I need to be brave and try anyway…yours look pretty dang tasty if I say so myself…I would love to have one right about now…yummy!
Funny. I haven’t tried any of her cute stuff yet because I imagine my will turn out like yours. Thanks for sharing your failure…maybe now I’ll try.
LOL – I tried cake pops once, too – they turned out just as awful as yours! Bakerella must have some crazy magic cake ball making ability.
