ABOUT
Making Dark angel cake pops has been my kitchen time with the children. Apart from children looking forward to the sweet afterwards, making it is so much fun. You can shape the cake crumbs into different colorful shapes. I also prefer them to regular lollipops full of sugar.
Basically, cake pops are a combination of your two favorite sweets (cakes and lollipops).
