Grandma's Bakery:Logan

There was about a span of 4 months last year when I was obsessed with cake pops. Just ask the people sitting around me in my Economics class. They heard more about cake pops that semester than they did problems with the economy. 


For those of you that don't know what cake pops are.. here are a couple examples to get you up to speed: 

Mr. Potato Head Cake Pops

Cupcake Cake Pops

Microphone Cake Pops

Spa Cake Pops

Ice Cream Cake Pops

Rudolph Cake Pops

Just wait: These are what I Really want to make: 

Mustache Cake Pops!!

Mustache and Lips Cake Pops!!

The possibilities are endless

When I finally decided to bake them, I made cake pops almost everyday for about a week, and every single one failed. So, being stubborn and persistent, I bought a cake pop maker, hoping it would solve all my problems..that was a negative. I couldn't figure out how to keep the cake pops on the sticks and make them perfectly round. Anyways, I never mastered cake pops and sadly moved on. 


Last week, a couple girls on my team and I ventured up to Richmond to find a bakery that I read about in the newspaper recently. Supposedly, there is a bakery called Under The Frosting that sells cake pops. I wanted to check it out and see how the lady makes such beautiful cake pops. 


We drove all around Richmond (it took us about 5 minutes haha) and couldn't find the bakery. However, we stumbled upon a bakery called Grandma's. Someone Molli knew said she used to go to Grandma's all the time to get homemade Oreos, so we went in to check it out. 


They didn't have hardly any food there, literally only like 5 items. The girl said they bake everything on Mondays - so if you go  - go on a Monday. Luckily, there was ONE homemade Oreo just waiting for us to devour. After paying for my $.90 homemade Oreo, I split it into thirds and the three of us sat down to eat it. It was GOOD. The top and bottom were chewy chocolate cookies and in the middle was a thick, whipped vanilla frosting, that didn't run down the sides of the oreo (which I was happy about). 


All in all, the day was a success. The little Richmond bakery was a nice surprise. Molli, Alyssa, and I decided we we are going to start our very own bakery right next door to Grandma's (the space is available). So no one steal it :) We're calling it Grandpa's. 


Here is our homemade Oreo. 

p.s.

If anyone knows where to find the Under the Frosting bakery, or if it even exists, let me know :) There is still a little place in my heart for cake pops.
