It seems as though everyone in my office has a birthday in April or June. As self-appointed office birthday coordinator I needed to think quick and come up with some goodies.
I used the wedding cake recipe pinned on my Pinterest account along with the buttercream frosting. This time I used salted butter instead of unsalted and it was a tad runnier so I put another cup of powdered sugar.
I placed some drops of blue food coloring and swished the bag around then added the frosting to get the tie dye look. I added sprinkles & no worries!!!
As for the cake pops I pinned some tips on making them not too long ago and found that using the recipes included with the cake pop machine was better than store cake mix. These are red velvet and vanilla pops. I will tell you they do come out rounder than box mix and taste lighter and fluffier. I still think the best pops ever are made using strawberry Duncan Hines mix with white chocolate melts.
My test taster (aka husband) has approved both cupcakes & pops!
Happy Birthday! Thank goodness the birthday madness should calm down for a bit.
