Cake Pop Class
Monday, March 5, 6-8pm. Cake pops are made by crumbling and compressing a baked cake until it is smooth and fudge-like in consistency. Then it is molded into fun shapes or balls, covered in chocolate or candy coating and served on a stick. With a full selection of flavors, and a variety of ice cream sundae-like toppings, Laura’s cake pops bring a creative and delightfully tasty flair to any event or gathering. Now YOU can learn how to make them!! Everything will be provided for you; just bring something to carry them home in. $18 per person or $30 for two people. Children are welcome with an adult.
