Cake pops, take two

Brent's cousin Megan is getting married soon so Glenna offered to help do the food for her bridal shower. Glenna in turn asked if I could do the cake pops for this shower like I did for the shower Sarah and I threw last month. I didn't like the way they tasted when I made them the first time so I was worried about making them again but this time I think they were a much bigger hit.

Changes I made:
1. Better flavors (lemon, pumpkin, cherry chip...I really wish I wasn't dieting!)

2. Made homemade cream cheese frosting and used much less of it.

3. Totally skipped the step where you roll them into balls and refridgerate before forming the cupcakes. It's just not needed if you don't put too much frosting in.

4. Only used the almond bark. Chocolate didn't taste good to me.

I had a lot more fun making them this time! Makes me want to maybe make these cute cake pops for mother's day! (check out bakerella) I found these pictures on Megan's blog and had to show how out of control that shower was. And Kristen thought the shower I threw was out of control...Not even close! Those are some talented ladies! (My cake pops are in the pot to the left)

Wait! There's more!...

And no, I didn't eat even one thing on that table (just patted myself on the back)! The diet is going strong, down 9 pounds since Monday. Hopefully this week will be as good!
