Made this for my sons 1st birthday, and for 3 chefs contest. I made it with homemade whipped cream cheese frosting, and loved it! I had extra leftover batter since I made my sons cake small, so I decided to make cake pops with the remainder for his party, and they came out great! Everyone loved them!!! Great recipe, thanks!1Reply
