Fun-Fetti Grenade Cake Pops


What a Blast these were to make!!
These were a figment of the hubby's imagination for our all boy-little man Kam's birthday.
Funfetti was the cake flavor of choice from the birthday boy:)
Is it weird to have a funfetti grenade?!?!
I think it sums up Kam very well!!
We decided to make a special white one for him.

Ingredient List:

funfetti cake mix
frosting
fondant
dipping chocolate
wooden sticks or dowels

First off we made these little caps for the top of the grenade.
We were kinda just winging it with the fondant parts;)

We then made curved levers

These little squares really made the white one look like a real grenade!
Had we had a bit more time we definetly would have made some for the colored ones as well.

Shape them into somewhat the shape you want them to be-although the caps and levers are very forgiving if your shape is off.
Dip the stick in the chocolate first then press into the pop.

Once we dipped the white one we added sprinkles.
add a small drop of the chocolate to the fondant square and place on the side of the grenade.

Voila!!
A "pretty" grenade!!
We didn't dip these ones, just kinda spread the chocolate on so they looked really rustic.

These were a ton of fun and were a hit among all the kids but especially the boys:)
