A BREAK FROM BEAUTY - VALENTINE CAKE POPS

Apologies in advance for this post which is completely irrelevant to my normal beauty banter...

I'm not terribly big on the whole Valentine's Day thing, but I love any excuse to make cupcakes and other yummy treats!  Over the weekend my Mom and I tried our hands at a new endeavor...cake pops!  I've seen the most adorable cake pop pictures floating around on Pinterest for the past year, but I was never quite sure how to make them.

Well, I invested in the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker and it made things super easy!  We used a regular box of strawberry cake mix from the grocery store and candy melts from Michael's for the icing.  They were really fun to make and decorate - so I thought I'd share with those of you who love this kind of thing or even those who want to just do something fun with their kiddos for Valentine's Day or any holiday!
