I spent a great weekend with Jess in High Wycombe at the beginning of the month, mainly baking which was fun. We made some cake pops a la Bakerella.
Here is in pictorial form:

These are Jess' very cool scales that let you switch between units of measurement, and reset them to zero to add the next lot of igredients. I call them her drug dealer scales as you can measure really small amounts of mass.

Pint glasses are the best recepticle for beating eggs.

Lots and lots of cocoa!

Beat that cake mix!
Whilst the cake was in the oven, we made cream cheese icing to bind it all together:

Then we set to work crumbling cake!

After we mixed in the icing, we made the cake balls...

..stuck lolly pop sticks in them...

and kept dipping and dipping...

These one are dipped in white chocolate...

We then made the chocolate yellow to make some little chick cake pops.

Decorating them was my favoutite bit. I think they came out really well...
