This is my first Easter holiday attempt to catch up with the dozens of posts I've been meaning to make and have had no time to write.
About a year ago, Humuhumu found an American cookbook called "Cake Pops" for 50p in the second-hand bookshed at our local National Trust place. She was mostly attracted by the photos of beautifully crafted confectionery, and has been periodically asking to make them. Sadly, none of us had the energy to follow through until quite recently.
I can safely say that we will not be offering any competition in the Artistic Baked Goods category any time soon.
They were delicious, though.
Smug cake pop eaters.

(We also had a couple of "baking for kids" type new books that turned out poor - eg. under-tested & over-sugary recipes. The "make your own sweets" one that fascinated youngest with its gorgeous photography, was particularly yucky. Most of the recipes consist of "melt down those sweeties and use the resulting sickly-sweet gloop to make this...")
The one that's been consistently good is a German baking set for kids, given to youngest but adopted by eldest.
