Cake Pops for Sierra who was the "Star Student"

Sierra was the"Star Student" this week at school and today we could bring in a small treat for the class.

Sympathy card...

I made this card for my neighbor who lost her grandmother on Monday. She was a wonderful woman...

Halloween Cake Pops

I decided for Halloween that I would make cake pops for both of my girls classes.  For some reason I had a really difficult time this time.  My candies would not melt correctly.  I added some shortening like Bakerella suggests in her book and then the melted candy would not adhere to my pops...I was very frustrated.  I had added the Wilton candy coloring and that may have had something to do with it not melting correctly but I do not know. 

To bring the cake pops to class I reused their McDonalds buckets and glued styrofoam to the bottom.

The ribbon I used on the handle was purchased at the 99 cent store.

Anyway...here is the end result:

These are for my oldest daughters class...

These are for my youngest daughters class...
