I made these for Lauren's class party. I think they are super cute but I don't know if they were worth the time. All you do is cut little circles from a pound cake. I used Sarah Lee's frozen pound cake and to cut the circles I used a lid from one of my hair products. It was the perfect size (no worries...I washed it first). Then you microwave your frosting in 15 sec. intervals, stirring each time, until it is the right consistency for dipping in the cakes. I colored mine pink, red, and white. Then you take a fork and stick into each cake and dip the cake in the frosting and then using another fork slide the cake off and onto wax paper to dry. Add the sprinkles while the frosting is still warm so that they will stick. My kids loved helping me make these. They were able to eat the scraps after cutting the circles and they loved putting on the sprinkles. Another added bonus that my 5 year old really appreciated was that the frosting made everyone's tongues really pink.
Overall I think this is a very cute recipe and this really cuts down on the amount of sugar the kids will consume at the party. They would have to eat atleast a half dozen of these to equal 1 cupcake. Altough I would only recommend this if you are not trying to save time. You would think with store bought cake and canned frosting this would be pretty quick and easy. Anytime you have to dip small pieces of anything you should know better.
