About Cake Pops
Cake pops are balls made from crumbled cake, coated with candy melts or melted chocolate and then inserted into a lollipop stick. I also couldn’t find cooking chocolate so I had to make buttercream frosting with what I had on hand.
I made a simple butter cream frosting, frosted the cake pops and sprinkled some food coloring beads and tada, my cake pops are ready! Mitthu enjoyed it a lot, she liked the look of it so much that she kept praising it.
Friendship Day was at its peak during college days. There is not enough room even for bangles on the wrist, so many friendship bands, wishes, cards, gifts and what not?! After entering the corporate world, Friendship Day became just another day to wish close friends through phone calls.
It’s been years since I flipped through the greeting cards I received. I felt nostalgic while cleaning out the bags to pick out cards and bands for this post. It took me a while to remember those days, a brief rewind I would say! Wouldn’t it be great if we had a rewind button in our lives?!
