Tutorial Tuesday- Cake Pop Cooling Board

One of my biggest dilemmas while making cake pops is, 
Where I am going to sit my decorated cake pops to cool?!
If I plan on making cake pops in advance I try to snag some stryofoam from work on our truck days but trucks only come on Thursdays. Ive tried sitting them in glasses, they roll into each other. If you sit them on a pan upside down their tops become flat. Last night I decided I wanted to be productive on my day off and make cake pops today. I had all the supplies but stryofoam! 
IDEA! I grabbed a piece of scrap wood. I sanded it smooth and drilled holes into it. 
Ta-da! easy cake pop cooling board. 

Supplies needed.
Piece of wood at least 1 inch thick (this is 1 1/2)
Electric sander (you can hand sand it with sand paper)
Electric drill. I believe I used a 3/16s drill bit
Drill holes at least 1/2 inches deep and 1 1/2-2 inches apart
Painted if desired.

  2. HAH! This reminds me of those "I.Q." game boards they set at the table at Cracker Barrel. Ingenious idea, though, really!
