A new outlet for creativity: Cake Pops

So I had so much cake left from the birthday cake I made Jayme that I have tried making different cake pops as a way to use some of it. 

I made these ice cream cone ones for the kids to give away for May Day. Apparently not all states make such a big deal about May but here in the Midwest it is a day for kids to run around and leave treats on the front porches of their friends and hopefully not get caught. 

Jayme shares a birthday with her brother-in-law so I made some more and his mom took them to him at school.

She gets the credit for arranging them in the burlap. 

Then today I decided to use a Trader Joe's Lemon Zinger cake that I had and cut small circles out and layer them in tiny layer cakes to make these. I didn't mix the cake with icing because it is a dense, moist cake and with a little pink candy inbetween they stayed together. 

So that is my fun with cake pops so far. I am sure they will make an appearance some other time.
