Dipped in Chocolate

I was on a mission last week to see if I could produce a cake pop!
My mission failed - big time - capital F type failure
I jumped on facebook and mentioned my failure and my lovely party friends came back at me with lots of suggestions - add copha, use Wilton melts, add some oil, keep melting the chocolate!
Alas it was too late for my cake pops, so girls I have collected all your tips and will be better prepared next time!

I did however have a variety of "sticks" on hand as I also wanted to make pretty chocolate dipped sticks - pretzel sticks, wafter sticks, bread sticks - any sticks I could find really.  So please enjoy some time with me (and my sticks) in my kitchen...









 Can't believe I am showing you this but here is my poor excuse for a cake pop! 
Mr A said it tasted good - as long as you closed your eyes!


With these lovely gold and silver sprinkles on them I was pleased with how my sticks and pretzels turned out - they would be perfect for a christmas dessert table!





Any further tips on making the perfect cake pop! Please - pretty please?
