My son LOVES LOVES LOVES Angry Birds. I personally don't see the attraction in the game, but it is usually futile to argue with an almost 5 year old when he tells you what he wants for his birthday treat. I thought about ordering cookies or a cake topper, but in the end frugality won out and I decided to try and make something myself. My super brilliant thought process went like this: "Mmmm...birthday cake. Mmmmm....frosting. Hmmm. Angry birds are round. Cake pops are round. Mmmmm...cake." So, I decided to make him Angry Birds cake pops to take to school. I think they turned out pretty cute, so I thought I would share.

| Bake a cake. Cool it. Crumble it up. Add about 3/4 can of frosting. Mix well. |
 |
| Roll into little balls of yummy. Don't eat too many. Put them in the fridge for about 2 hours. |
 |
| First, dip the stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it about 3/4 of the way into the cake ball. Let set for a minute or two. |
 |
| Dip the ball into the melted chocolate |
 |
| I like to use these plates as decoration organizers. You can see I bought the pre-made eyes at Michael's. As you will see...big mistake there. |
 |
| Eyes are on... |
 |
| This is a great use for those 8 million medicine syringes you have around the house, if you have small kids. You can just use it to dab a little chocolate onto the decoration, then attach it to the cake pop. Also great for piping out details. |
 |
| I think they turned out ok. Next time I will make the eyes and the chest feathers out of fondant. |
