I thought about what would be an ideal Thanksgiving project.  The more I thought about what I am thankful for and what the holiday is all about, it came down to doing something with and for my family.  So, I decided that a favor would be an ideal project to make and what better than to make it with my family. 

My darling son has been wanting to make cake pops and keeps on me about making some more.  I decided to try out a new recipe and after mentioning it on facebook this week, I was encouraged to share the recipe.

For the hop today, I've created some yummy cake pop favors .......







cute Pumpkin cake pop favors!

I took a package of the spiced chai tea and added some spice to my cake mixture. 

You just open up the package of the spiced chai package (do not make it as tea), add it to a box of cake mix with a can of pureed pumpkin and 3 large eggs.  Mix the ingredients using a hand mixer on medium for 2 minutes.  Then, bake your cake according to the boxed cake. 

My darling son liked it as is but, I also enjoyed it with chopped walnuts and raisins. 

I dipped them in tinted white chocolate and used a pretzel stick for the top.  The bottom is a white cake pop stick that you can find in the cake decorating section.

Now, I was going to package them and put a cute tag on them but, I have to say that my family was eating them about as fast as I was making them. To say they were a hit, is an understatement.  :) 





How precious would these look on your Thanksgiving table! wow!
