Preperation:

To start this delicious desert, you will first put the red velvet cake mix in a large mixing bowl. You will add two eggs and cooking oil to the cake mix. My Aunt Madea says it is best to stir for about two minutes, or until the bumps in the mix are gone.

Aunt Madea always prefered a spoon instead of a mixer. Or maybe that is just what she told me because she does not trust me to use a mixer anymore after the accident I had with one. When I was younger, I decided to use a mixer instead of a spoon. Well me being the little kid I was, I did not know you were not suppose to bring the mixer out of the bowl before you turned it off. Now it seems like common sense, but back then I did not any better. As soon as I took the mixer out of the bowl, that thing went spinning like wheels on a truck. Red velvet cake mix went everywhere!

All I heard for weeks was my Aunt Madea saying, "I told you to always use a spoon!"

After the cake mix is good and stirred, put it in the over for about twenty to thirty minutes. While this is cooking, you can start making the vanilla icing. You can use any icing you would like. My grandmaw swears up and down that vanilla is the only icing that is good with cake pops. Heat the icing in the microwave until it is good and melted.

My aunt Madea always brings cake pops to every family occasion. Her name is Delores, but I have called her Madea ever since I watched the show, "Madea's Family Reunion." She likes to make red velvet cake pops instead of chocolate or vanilla. My aunt Diane, who I live with, always complained about Aunt Madea always bringing cake pops instead of any kind of food. My uncle Woody does not care, red velvet is his favorite. The only thing you will ever hear come out of his mouth is politics. Grandmaw likes to talk to him about politics. We think it is just because it gives her something to talk about since Uncle Woody will listen to her.


I like to decorate my cake pops according to what holiday it is. Right now it is around Halloween. I use wafers to decorate the cake pops. You can melt them and decorate them anyway you like. Melt the wafers in the miccrowave and use it to put an eye on the cake pops. This makes them look scary for Halloween.

My little cousins like to grab them and put them over their eyes and run around the house with them.

They will scream and yell, "I am coming for you Diane!"

Their foot steps were like a train coming through the house. This caused Aunt Diane to come in the kitchen and tell them to go play outsided.

When you get everything done, put the cake in the refridgerator until it cools down. Then, make them into balls and dip in the icing. Next, you will put the wafers on the the balls and place back in the refriderator. You can then put them on a stick so it is easier to eat. Now you have a tasty and quick treat!
