Strawberry Shortcake Cake pops

Tuesday, 26 July 2016
Hey Guys!

Over the weekend I had a few people over, and one of the items we ate was strawberry shortcake cake pops. This was my first time making cake pops and strawberry shortcake so I was a bit nervous. I made a few mistakes so I will be sure to add little tid bits to ensure this doesnt happen to you!

Ingredients
Pound cake ( I baked one myself, but you can always buy one)
Vanilla Icing
1 lb of strawberries
White chocolate
Lollipop Sticks

Steps
Crumble up your pound cake. I baked mine the night before to save me some time
Mix in 12 oz of icing. I did 16 oz and I felt I could have added a little more, so I suggest buying extra icing.
Cut strawberries into small pieces (I thought my pieces were small, but I suggest chopping them up as finely as you can) Fold strawberries into batter
Put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden up
Grab a tray (cookie sheet) and place wax paper on top. Roll the mix into small balls(  I made mine way to big, I would suggest making them the same size balls as small cookies)
Place stick in the middle of the ball
Place in freezer for at least 1 hr but max 3
Melt white chocolate on stove top. My friend taught me a trick, where you put the stove on low heat and it will slowly melt. Stir periodically to ensure it doesn't stick to the pot.
Dip the Cake pops into the white chocolate and place on wax paper and stick in the fridge until it hardens.

I will say they were Delicious. They were hard on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. Mine aren't aesthetically pleasing but I learned along the way. I had issues with my sticks staying in, which has to do with the fact that I could've added more icing to make it stick better, and my strawberries were way to big as well as my cake pops.
I hope you all try this recipe soon!

Hey Guys!
I'm, so ashamed to say this, but I forgot to take pictures of my food, but I am going to make the best of this, and post as many pictures as I can

Breakfast  (7:30am)

 I had my usual, which was yogurt with chocolate protein granola with bananas on top, with a cup of coffee

Snack (9:30am)

I baked banana bread over the weekend, and had a banana bread muffin for my snack with a glass of water



  Lunch (3pm)

My boyfriend made breakfast for lunch. We had pancakes, eggs and breakfast potatoes. My boyfriend is amazing as breakfast, his food is so much better then going to a breakfast spot, and hits the spot every time!

(sorry no pic) 

Dinner (9pm)

Since I had a late lunch I made the awful decision in not making dinner. As a result, when 8pm hit, I was in starvation mode. We didn't do groceries that day because I didn't think we were going to eat dinner so I put it off for the next day. I had no choice but to go through my fridge and make vegetable fried rice. I added some coleslaw on the side for some greens. It wasn't the best dinner, but it was something I was able to whip up fast.


Snack (10:30p.m.)

I don't know what came over me, but I was craving sweets (probably because my time of the month is next week) I had some leftover Deep n' Delicious marble cake with Parlour French Vanilla icecream.

Hey Guys!
Welcome back to another what I ate Wednesday , today is my boyfriend's birthday so there was lots of good food eaten.

For breakfast I just had coffee, we were not sure if we were going to go out for dinner/lunch since it was my boyfriend's birthday. We were out the night before and was letting Kayden sleep in, by the time Kayden woke up, lunch was the best option.


For lunch we went to Kelsey's and it was amazing. We had an amazing waiter and ate great food. For an appetizer we ordered nachos and they were delicious! Whenever i go out to eat I usually eat a wrap/sandwich, because I'm addicted to them. My boyfriend and I decided to order to sandwiches and split them in half. He got the chicken Cesar wrap( I think that is what it is called), and I got the two handed steak sandwich. In my honest opinion, the steak sandwich was horrible. It was dry, and chewy, not enjoyable at all. We ordered a side of french fries. We don't usually order a meal for Kayden, since his appetite isn't big enough to order a kids meal, so he usually just nibbles off of our plate. I also drank 4 glasses of water!



I forgot to take a picture of our dinner, because I was so busy. One of Curtis's friend stopped by and we ordered pizza and wings from Pizza hut. I also drank 2 glasses of water

The last thing we ate was birthday cake. It was from Iana bakery and it was delicious! We had ordered from there the first year we were together and they are amazing.They custom make your cake however you want. This year we did a simple cake, since we were doing a low scale birthday for Curtis, for personal reasons. We got a lemon cake, since that is his favorite flavor.
