Katie's nephew requested Smurf cupcakes for his birthday. We decided to go one better by attempting cake pops! The first step was to form the balls out of cake dough and frosting.
Katie and I certainly had enough supplies for this attempt!
Bailey just wanted to take her ball outside, totally uninterested.
Oooops!
Super concentrated face.....damn balls!
Since all Smurfs have hats, we chose to use taffy to get the correct height and shape. We softened it in the microwave and then worked our magic, not as easy as it looks. Can you find Papa Smurfs hat?
We wanted to add the ears and the noses before we dipped. The ears are m & ms and the noses are made out of taffy. Ok, ok, they look like monkeys now...
The dip!
Super cute! I think Crystal Kitty is waiting for one to fall down.
First attempt, not too shabby. And to think these only took us 4 hours and cost an arm and a leg. It was well worth it.
As you can see, Benees loves them. He was so excited!
These are soooo totally cute! You did such a great job on them - especially papa smirf :) Love the process pictures as well - are those gum balls? Cool!
