baby chickies

...and eggs!

Here they are. I know everybody has been waiting patiently for the finished product. Haha! Time got away from me and these are REALLY time consuming so i bagged the idea to make bunnies and sheep...even though the sheep were my {second} favorite. Once Brooklynn & I made the "baby chickies" we needed something else but didnt' have much time so we opted for Easter eggs.

Bakerella is right, if you've never made cake pops before, you might want to start with something that doesn't need to be completly smooth when dipped. Oh well, I think I figured it out after the first dozen. :) If I had it to do over, I would make most of them by myself after the kids go to bed then make a few with Brooklynn later. It was a little tough with a 2 year old. If she hadn't opened & sampled the candy melts in the store {whoops! Who's watching this kid!?!} maybe she wouldn't have wanted to eat it so badly. Oh, who am I kidding?

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out and they ware a big hit on Easter at Dustin's Aunt & Uncle's house.
I certainly am addicted to these cake pops though! I'm already trying to figure out what holiday, celebration or season is coming up next so that I have an excuse to make them! Maybe I'll try the cupcake pops next!

Oh, and while we were making them Brooklynn had so much fun. Once the yellow pops were dry enough to decorate, I made one chick and turned it around for her to see. It was like the whole thing just came together right in front of her eyes...I just wish I would've got it on video! "Ooooh, BABY CHIIICKEEEES!"
