Making cake pops in a cake pop maker is easy and once you’ve got the basic technique down, you can decorate them any way you like.  The possibilities are endless.

The absolute easiest way to make a cake pop in a  cake pop maker is with a boxed cake mix.  Just follow the directions like you would for any cake, but pour the batter into your cake pop maker and bake them that way.  The cake pop maker eliminates waste and maximizes the number of cake pops you’ll get out of a single box of cake mix.

Once the cake pops are done baking and have cooled, you’re ready to insert the sticks.  Lolly pop sticks, wooden sticks, or plastic sticks designed specifically for cake pops will all work.  Consider the type of display you’ll be making with the cake pops, and choose appropriate lengths of sticks.  Perhaps you’ll want to use all the same length of stick, or maybe you’d like to create a staggered effect by trimming some sticks shorter than others.  For designs that require more than one cake ball on a single stick, be sure to use extra long, plastic sticks.

When the cake pops are on the sticks, you’re ready to decorate them.  Before you begin, make sure you have a place to “stick” the decorated cake pops in an upright position so your decorating is unharmed.  There are accessory trays you can purchase to hold finished cake pops, or you can create your own stand from styrofoam.

Now that the cake pops are on sticks and you have a place to put them, you’re ready to decorate.  You could make them into Spiders to celebrate halloween, snowmen (using 3 cake balls per cake pop) for a winter party, baby chicks for a baby shower, or Elmo heads for a child’s birthday party.  Experiment using different coatings like frosting or melted chocolate.  Decorate using colored sugar, colored frosting, or candy pieces.  You could even leave the cake pops undecorated and invite guests over for a cake pop party!  Be creative and most importantly, have fun!  

Buying a barbecue can be a thrilling experience because you know you’re on the verge of wonderful summertime meals. But first you have to get a piece of equipment that will fit within your overall budget. There are barbecues in all price ranges and making sure you get the right one is important for the best value. You don’t want to make the mistake of spending too much money on something you will never actually use. And on the other hand, you don’t want to skimp on the grill that will need to be replaced or repaired after just a few months. One of the best things about grills is their tendency to last a long time, so if you make the right choice you won’t have to upgrade again for several years. The first step is to think about how much you barbecue on a regular basis and what type of grill size will fit your family.

Once you’ve purchased the perfect barbecue, it’s time to use it to the fullest potential. One of the biggest problems with modern grilling is people’s tendency to cook the same thing time and time again. While it’s good to hold fast to tradition, you don’t want your barbecue routine to get stale either. If you become predictable and boring, then a lot of the magic is lost from home grilling. You have to remember there is a world of food out there that can be brought to grilling perfection using modern gas grills. Cooking frozen burgers or hotdogs has its place, but you won’t be getting the most from your barbecue if that’s all you ever cook.

We live in a great time for the sharing of information regarding recipes and ideas. All you have to do is look on the Internet for great suggestions on things you can try for your next barbecue meal. There are even forums and chat rooms dedicated to true barbecue fans who are more than willing to impart their wisdom. Being able to develop a sense of community has benefited home grilling tremendously. Experimenting and bringing new dishes to life is a great way to share with other people at the same time. And when everything goes right, you’ll be able to prepare marvelous meals while convincing your family that you are the best barbecue master in town.

There are a few general rules you should always follow when using the best gas grills on the market. Fresh ingredients and quality produce our key elements to any barbecue routine. You should also investigate homemade barbecue sauce recipes to get true flavor from your food rather than overpowering it with a generic bottled sauce. It’s also a good idea to pay attention to cooking times so that you can become more efficient after each cooking session. Eventually you’ll be able to handle more food in addition to different variations on cuisine to come up with a comprehensive menu that will blow your guests away.

My favorite BBQ chicken recipe is made with a whole chicken that’s been halved. It comes out incredible on the grill. My husband cooked one for the 4^th of July and everyone loved it. It’s a simple recipe and it’s great anytime.

 Whole BBQ Chicken Recipe Ingredients:

• 1 whole 3 to 4 lb chicken, halved
• salt
• pepper
• garlic salt
• crushed red pepper
• BullsEye BBQ sauce (original or Memphis style)

 Rinse your chicken halves in cold water and pat dry. Season your chicken with salt and pepper to taste, garlic salt, and a tad of crushed red pepper according to how much spice you like. Heat your grill, gas or charcoal to a medium heat. Place the chicken skin side up on the grill. Close the lid to allow the chicken to smoke. Flip the chicken after about 15 minutes. Cook the chicken skin side down for another 15 minutes. Then, flip the chicken halves, skin side up again, and baste with BBQ sauce. Leave the grill open now and cook for another 15 minutes flipping once. Flip the chicken skin side up once more and apply more BBQ sauce and continue grilling until chicken is done. This chicken always comes out very juicy and flavorful. Enjoy!
