Cakepops

Why am I so bad at making cakepops? Half of them broke or fell sideways off the stick, or the stick came right through the top. Bakerella is a genius and her book is adorable. I want to make every design in it. But clearly, that is not an option for me since the little balls don't even come out half the time!
I have a friend from long ago who is always posting advice on Facebook about making cakepops and is full of suggestions to her friends on how to improve their cakepops. I have just decided that she must be living a lie. No one can be that good or knowledgeable about making them.
But I want them to be perfect. Even considering they're not, they are still pretty cute when they're all wrapped up and tied with a bow.
But none of this really matters because my 4 year old completely flipped out when his fell of the stick as soon as he picked it up. It didn't fall onto the floor. No one yelled at him or gave him a nasty look. He just wanted it on the stick! But, sailors don't always make good friends, and cakepops don't always stay on the stick. I offered him others, and it didn't matter, he was just devastated. So I am done with cakepops. Though my husband sincerely hopes I might consider making cakepop truffles.
