Favorite Christmas Project, Ever

I LOVED working on this project with my mom and sister. First, I spent all day making Cake Pops. I was extra excited because we got red and green melting chips and a super awesome Christmas sprinkle set. Then we decided that since we invested so much time in them, we needed a special display. So we took a Styrofoam cone, wrapped it in a green table cloth, found a stick outside and connected it to a wrapped box, then added a $.25 sparkly star to the top. My favorite part about it is that the Cake Pops look like a little ornaments. It was definitely a big hit at our family Christmas party... especially for all the kids, and my husband. He's a big fan of Cake Pops!



In case you need the recipe:

Ingredients:
- 1 Box Chocolate Cake Mix
