More How-To's from the parties....

 Instead of a table cloth I covered a folding table with butcher paper (found at Michael's) and set out a bowl of crayons. The kids had fun drawing, and guests got to write birthday messages to the birthday girl and boys!! Best part- no washing the table cloth afterward!

Cake Pop Ice Cream Cones

What you need: 

1 Package of any boxed cake mix  (Baked as directed on the box) 

1/3 cup of your favorite frosting. Canned or homemade 

1lb. Package of candy melts. Any color (or almond bark)

Any type of edible decorations 

Wax paper

Kid Cones (found at Walmart)

To make the cake balls:

Bake cake and allow to cool completely (about one hour). 

Crumble cake in large bowl and add frosting.

Put cake mixture in fridge and chill for 30 min or overnight

Shape dough into balls, place on wax paper and flash freeze for about an hour.

Melt candy melts or almond bark according to directions. Dip the top of the cone lightly into melted chocolate so there is a ring around the top. Quickly dip the bottom of a cake ball in chocolate, place on top of the cone and let the chocolate set so the cake ball doesn't fall off. Once set, dip the cake ball completely into the melted chocolate so that the cake is completely covered. Add sprinkles and let chocolate harden.
