Sugar and Spice, and What Makes It Nice   
by Rie Sheridan Rose 

“Good morning, bakers. Welcome to Cooking With Kids! If you’ve been following our channel for any length of time, you know we like to do something special for the holidays. So, today we are going to make Little Lady Lollipops and Big Boy Cake Pops. You will absolutely adore these delicious treats.

“Since we are short of time today, we have already mixed the batter, but you can find the directions for that in the comments. We are going to focus on the decorations in this video. There are several aspects to this area. If you check our Big Boy Cake Pops, you will see that these are dipped in an icing to get the color right, and then piped with a second layer of icing with sprinkles. It almost looks like these Big Boys are Beatle Wannabes.

“For the Little Lady Lollipops, they are dipped in icing and dusted with sprinkles, and then piped with these fun little spirals on top. The icing in the spirals mimic the flavor of icing used on each little cake lollipop. You’ll see what I mean as I put them together.

“Now, like I said at the top of the video, we like to make something incredible for the holidays. To that end, we have our secret ingredient for each flavor. For the Big Boy—we use a few drops of Masculine Musk, collected in the dark of the moon. For the Little Lady—we add a touch of Feminine Finesse, gathered when the moon is full. Please remember to use caution and care when you collect these items, because if you are caught, non-practitioners frown on such things.

“And there you have it—be sure to share your results in the comments. Thank you for joining us here on the Behind the Gingerbread cooking channel. I’ve been your host, Madame Mim. We’ll see you next time on Secret Sweets.”
