Through as much of my childhood as I can remember, I had a friend — a best friend — that was attached to my hip at all times. I can recall very few memories prior to high school that didn’t involve the two of us, junk food, and staying up until 6 a.m. When high school came around, we went to different schools. We spent less time together, called each other a little less frequently, and began to move in separate directions.

This week I decided that I’m going to start with everyone’s new favorite treat, cake pops. Cake pops are adorable and delicious, but look like they take a lot of effort. Truthfully, if you follow any old recipe on the Internet, you really are in for a daylong ordeal. Fear not though, because I have a few tips to make your cake pop experience ever sweeter.

The two things I love most in the world are 1) instant gratification and 2) Nutella. I hope most of you can agree with me on this. I love to bake, but sometimes the idea of collecting all those ingredients, dirtying all those pans and then having to clean up all that mess is just too much to undertake. Thankfully, there’s a magical land called Pinterest that makes our lives a million times easier. I get almost all of my recipes on Pinterest, because it’s that good.
