I successfully made a batch of Hello Kitty cake pops. The easiest part was making the crumbled cake + frosting mixture. Since I had chosen a moist cake recipe, it didn’t take more than 2/3 of a can of icing and a few minutes of kneading everything together with my hands to come up with an appropriate mixture. The mix probably made enough for close to fifty cake pops, but I didn’t feel like making quite that many, so I just rolled out enough heads for twenty.
I only killed three Hello Kittys in the process! Two came off their sticks when I dunked them in the candy melt, and a third just slid all the way down its stick (I have no idea how that happened). I’d say that 17/20 Hello Kitty cake pops on my very first try with doing ANYTHING beyond a basic cake/cupcake recipe is pretty damn good.
I also managed to burn the candy melting when I was re-heating it last night. But that’s all right… I was tired anyway, so I was more than happy to let the un-dunked cake pops chill in the fridge overnight. After going out to breakfast and taking Ryan to Chuck E. Cheese, we stopped at a craft store and I picked up two additional bags of candy melts, so I was in business this afternoon!
Nom nom nom. It was quite tasty! I can’t wait to show them to Alyssa tomorrow!

They’re awesome, you did a great job for a first timer who professes she’s not a kitchen diva. But honestly, you baked your arse off this holiday season so you’re quite good in my opinion.
I should make these for Sydney to take to school on her birthday, wonder if they have a boyish version that would keep the little dudes happy too?
I think I will most definitely have to agree with this title. Those are pretty bad ass looking Hello Kitty’s! Good job, Jenn!

I had a dream about you the other night, (nothing sexual don’t worry lol) but it had something to do with your site/Q&A page.. You blogged about me being a stalker and that’s why you don’t answer your questions because I keep asking weird questions lmao…
Don’t mind me, I dream of really strange things at times!!
