Well... not so clever. Must be garage salers are really out to shop for *junk* and not yummy stuff. No one bought my pops. They commented how cute they were... but they just didn't give in and buy any!
So, my customers were my friends who joined me in the garage sale. Six of my gal pals brought their stuff over to sell and some of their hubbies came, too. We hung out from 8 am until 1pm trying to make fast summer spending cash. They ate the pops and loved them. I brought the rest to work yesterday (for my trainees) and they loved them too. What is wrong with garage salers!?
Next time, I'll make the pops for a party and force people to eat them! They are delicious! I chose to make the filling flavor red velvet, since the box cake mix was only $1 (Duncan Hines) on sale and chocolate wasn't an option.
For the complete recipe and other cupcake pop decorating ideas, visit Bakerella's amazing blog. My quick version is below:
Start by baking the cake (I used Duncan Hines Red Velvet). Then let it cool completely. Once it's cool, spoon it into a large bowl.

They are cute, I made them a few days ago and they came out great! I think next time I will try store bought frosting because the homemade was too thin.

Those little cup cakes were the bomb! I ate like 5 of those joints. Ladies! MAKE THESE CUP CAKES!!!! Also, the infamous Pumpkin Bars are worth the yearly wait.

These look amazing! I can't wait to make them 🙂 As for the garage salers, they probably weren't appreciating something so fancy!
Katie says
