Blueberry Muffin CakePops {birthday preview}

For Valentine's Day, my dear mother-in-law got me the As seen on TV Bake Pop Cake Pop Pan, well actually she got more than one... but that's a different story. She was super excited because it looked like something I would use, which is funny because JUST last week I was in JC Penny debating whether to spend the money on the pan. But I'm stingy frugal cheap, so I didn't buy it. Plus, for the past few months I have been feverishly entering Cake Pop Maker giveaways to no avail. So... YAY! I now can make cake pops (oh, I am not a huge fan of the mix-cake-with-icing-roll-into-a-ball cake pops. They are WAY to sweet for me).

Let's jump ahead to the fact that Charlotte is having her 3rd birthday party ON SATURDAY (ahh!). Well, I have to fit in some cake pops right? Of course I do. The problem is I am already making a cake for the Strawberry Shortcake themed party. AND (shh don't tell) I am going to have a food from each of her "berry best friends"... as in Raspberry, Blueberry, Orange, Lemon, and Plum.

I came up with Blueberry Muffins for, well... Blueberry Muffin (that is the friends' name anyway) so off to google I went with "muffin mix in cake pop pan" and didn't get many results. However, I did see in some random comment that someone used actual blueberries in their cake pop maker and it burnt on real bad. Yikes! But I have more than one of these pans AND I'd rather use a mix, so what the hey. Off to the grocery store I go and I find a blueberry muffin mix that uses just water.

I replace the water with milk (this was a tip from the instruction book) and I fill up my pans a little less than halfway. The cake mix we used the day before for a "trial run" of the pans TOTALLY overflowed.

On goes the lid.

15 minutes later... hmmm. Well, I guess I under filled them this time.

BUT... if you roll them over... voila!! It works!! Woo hoo.

I added a glaze which was oh-so-yummy that night... but it kinda soaked in by the next morning.

I think for the party, I will either throw these on a stick and glaze them right before the party OR roll them in a cinnamon crumb topping.

Enjoy! Happy Cake pop-ing!
