Ok, so I made these horrible cakepops, and I have never hated doing something so much in my life. It was supposed to be super fun! I had an entire halloween concept planned, with ghosts and spiders...the shapes were perfect! But first, to the 2 kitchen pictures. After the massacre. The cleaning I will have to do is already giving me a headache-and the sprinkles I thought of too late to sort of save these horrible looking things, most of the chocolate was too hard to keep them on. To the picture of the pops-I took the best ones, and even those are pretty pathetic. But and there is a but, because as of now, I just look like a total dweeb that couldn't do what every housewife in America is able to do, BUT : the chocolate would just not melt! I melted and stirred black, white and organge for 2 HOURS!!!!! The black completely lost the consistency-melted and then got lumpy, and the others would melt, but never enough to actually dip the cakepop in! So I sort of swirled them in the lumpy candy melt till they were covered. I really don't know what to do, I really want to be able to make these, but I don't know what to do about that candy melt. Any suggestions?
Oh Heidi, I think they look fabulous, would never have guessed how long it took you or what the original concept was, and your kitchen looks cleaner than mine on most days! Its a good first try and I cant wait to see the Halloween ones! Is Lily dressing up this year? Ro
ReplyDeleteBut I really have to compliment the photography, its very easy to take a bad picture of something good but hard to take a good picture of something "pathetic", nice backgrounds in all. Ro
ReplyDeleteHey Ro! That was actually my aim, trying to make the really bad pops look almost good by taking them with my kitchen wall background!! Mom sent me a pumpkin pyjama which is a bit too big, but I will still try it on Lily and put up pictures. I think she will look adorable!! Thank you very much anyway, I have to say, I was so disappointed about it being so complicated, but now I am just even more determined for the next ones to work out! I guess nothing is worth doing if it's too easy right? Thanks for being a regular reader Ro, feels nice to see someone's checking my things out!!
