Having a get together or a party in the near future ? Then, cake pops are the right choice as party favours and definitely a delicious alternative to cupcakes. I made these cake pops for my daughter's 1st birthday party and became a bit hit.
I adapted this recipe from wildly popular blogger Bakerella. Cake pops are cute little cakes balls on a stick coated with candy melts of your choice and any sprinkles or decor. To make 5 nos, you need :
Plain cake any flavor 1 cup (crumbled)
Frosting any flavor 1 tsp
Candy melts or Chocolate (for coating)
Styrofoam block
Lollipop sticks
Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
These adorable cake pops fit any occasion.
Step 1: Plain cake to be crumbled
Step 2: Add frosting to the crumbled cake.
Step 3: Mix well and divide into 5 equal portions. Roll into smooth balls by hand. Place it in the refrigerator for 15 mins.
Step 4: Melt candy coating or chocolate according to the package directions. I melted these dark chocolate bars in the microwave for about 40 secs.
Step 5: Dip about 1/2 inch of the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate.
Step 6: Insert straight into the cake ball, pushing it no more than halfway through.
Step 7: Hold the cake pop by the stick and dip into the melted chocolate or use a spoon to cover the cake balls with enough melted chocolate and make sure its been coated evenly. Tap gently to remove any excess.
Step 8: Stick the cake pops into the prepared Styrofoam block.
Step 9: Decorate with colored sugar or sprinkles.
Store the cake pops in airtight containers or cover them in small treat bags and tie with curling ribbons.
