Help kids + cupcake pops

Ms. Bakerella emailed me about an opportunity to help kids living in poverty get ready for school. Nickelodeon is taking back-to-school suggestions for parents on their website at giveback.parentsconnect.com. For every back-to-school tip or recipe you give, they'll make a donation to Feed the Children’s Kid's School Basics Program. You can leave tips on their site through September 25th. And if you leave a tip, be sure to say so in the comments on this post at Bakerella, because you could win a Nickelodeon prize pack.

The tip that Bakerella left was a recipe for chocolate cake balls. And she also made some cupcake pops in Nickelodeon's brand color: orange. Aren't they nifty? To see all of her cupcake pop creations and get the recipes, click here and scroll through the yumminess.
