They also had a little stand for the cake pops to dry on for another $1, so we splurged and bought both things. Then we took them home and tried them out.
I had never made cake pops before, but they were pretty simple to make. The machine came with a little recipe book, and we picked a chocolate recipe to start. We mixed up the dough, spooned it into the machine and then waited 6 minutes for them to cook. When they were done, we took them out and put the next batch in (that was probably the most tedious part of the process - you can only cook about 10 balls at a time, so you have to do it like 5 times to cook all the batter).
Once they were cool, we dipped them into melted chocolate chips and added sprinkles. We didn't have the special sticks cake pops are normally on, so we just used popsicle sticks from our craft supplies and they worked just fine. The finished cake pops were yummy! Here's Becca eating just as many sprinkles as she is putting on the cake pops:
(At this same garage sale, Samuel bought an adding machine for $1, which he is loving playing with. I will try to get some pictures of him using it and post those next). We love finding garage sales where they sell things for $1!
