Once I discovered these "Cake Pops," I knew I had to make them immediately. I wasn't even going to try to replicate the works of art Bakerella so arduously creates in her kitchen (Sheep pops! Hello Kitty pops!! I mean, WOW). I also had the perfect excuse -- the belated birthday of my good friend, Val.
Val loves chocolate, so I decided to whip up a batch of my famous devil's food cake. Once cooled, I crumbled it up and added a buttercream-eque filling and rolled the dough into balls. After inserting some paper sticks and chilling the bare pops, I dipped them in some high quality semi-sweet Guittard chocolate and topped them with some Turbinado sugar. They came out spectacular, albeit quite rich. But who doesn't love a little taste of heaven now and then, right?!
Here are some pics of the delicious treats (I wish I had a better camera...):
