Peter wanted a strawberry cake, so I made him one. When I went to frost it with chocolate frosting, it fell apart. I have not mastered cake decorating. How do the people make it look so easy? I was sitting with a mess of a cake in front of me and had the brilliant idea of making cake pops.

I mushed up the crumbly cake and sticky frosting and formed balls. After the first batch of candy coating was ruined when water got in it, I melted another batch, dipped the cake balls and added sprinkles. They are not technically cake pops either because I skipped the stick part. These are so far from perfect. But they were yummy.

When life gives you lemons a cake disaster make lemonade cake balls.
