I had one of those moments in the store the other day where you walk by something and absentmindedly throw it in your cart. Like, absolutely no thought process involved. My subconscious saw 'Pink Lemonade Cake Mix' and somewhere, in the far corners of my brain, I thought, YupMustHaveNoBrainerGonnaBuyItDon'tKnowWhy.
And then I had to buy the Pink Lemonade Frosting that went with it OBVIOUSLY.
They sat in my pantry for a few weeks until yesterday, when I suddenly decided what I wanted to do with them. Cake Pops. Have you ever attempted to make a Cake Pop before? They're not the easiest thing in the world to pull off. The cake/frosting combo gets VERY messy and working with melted white chocolate is never easy unless it's a very high quality product. The next time I make these, I'll use regular chocolate. All that said, aren't they purty?

Those look so good! I haven't seen the pink lemonade cake mix yet!
ReplyDeleteYum these look great !!
ReplyDeletedude- yum. I'm on the lookout for this cake mix now!
ReplyDeleteDo you use a whole container of icing per one box of mix?
ReplyDeleteYum!! I'm going to look for this cake mix today. I've made cake balls a number of times, and I've found a product called CandiQuik works really well for the outside. It melts easily, stays melted long enough to dip a good number of cake balls, has a good flavor, and hardens just a bit (think Magic Shell for ice cream) giving the cake ball exterior just a slight crunch. (here: http://www.candiquik.com/) I don't know if it's available wherever you are, but here in Texas, I pick it up at the local Kroger or Wal-Mart.
ReplyDeleteLynn- yes : )
ReplyDeleteMy stepmom made me just a regular cake with this pink lemonade mix and frosting yesterday---OH MY AMAZING! It's like someone took pink lemonade and put it in cake form. LOVE IT. She brought me two more boxes of it, and I will be making these cake pops!
