Pumpkin Cake Pops

Are you ready for this? Remember my first attempt with the basic cake balls?

Well here's the next step, turning those into pops.

I decided to start with the pumpkin ones because they appeared to be the easiest. And, if you've seen the recipe then you've seen them with jack o lantern faces. I decided to forgo the faces. Maybe I'll do faces next year. That might be fun (but I'll have to learn how to make these a little smoother).

I'll just admit that while I like how the pops turned out, my pictures aren't the best. I got so wrapped up in my project that I kept forgetting to take pictures. I wrapped them up individually and started using cute ribbon to tie the bags, but that ran out after about 8 pops so I switched to black gift ribbon, which still looked better than I thought it would.

And, I thought they tasted pretty good. Really rich, but what else would you expect from candy coated cake?

I think that finishes up my October/Halloween baking.

I was planning on turkey pops next month, but I looked at the recipe while I was doing the pumpkin pops, and I just don't know if that's going to happen. "Gluing" the feathers on just sounds like it might be too much.
