Hannah's lollipops!

I know - do not fall over, I am posting again.  No, a month has not gone by:) - I just knew that if I did not do this now - it would not get done!  I cannot believe that my baby is turning three tomorrow!  Happy Almost Birthday, Hannah!  So, as many of you know, my Hannah is a picky eater.  As the third child, I am surprisingly okay with this - she is healthy, growing, etc.  But this makes it very difficult on her birthday, because she does not usually eat cake, cookies, etc.  (I know - definitely not my child:)!.  Anyways, I have been asking her what I can make for her birthday, and she keeps saying that all she wants is lollipops.  I admit it, I did think about plopping a big bag of dum-dums in front of her tomorrow and not make a cake, but I just could not do it, even if she does not eat any of it.  But, I decided to be Martha Stewart again today (Yes, dear friends, I went to hobby lobby again:), and I made cake lollipops.  Here is what I did (don't I have the cutest assistant?!)

Ingredients : one box cake mix
                     one container frosting
                     melting wafers
                     lollipop sticks
                     styrofoam block
                     decorations (I used sprinkles and candles)
Directions:  Make and bake the cake according to directions on the box.  Cool.
                    Break cake into small pieces, put in mixer, crumble into tiny  pieces.

Add frosting, continue to mix until dough becomes sticky

Scoop out dough and form into balls, place on silpat or wax paper and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.
Melt a small amount of the wafers (in microwave for 30 second increments).  Dip the end of a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and stick into the cake ball.

Refrigerate for several hours, allowing the chocolate and cake balls to harden (the cake will still be mushy).
Melt the wafers (again, in 30 second increments).  Dip each ball into the chocolate, tap off the excess, and place in the styrofoam block.  Store in refrigerator and enjoy!!!
