Cake Pops
Tuesday, March 10, 2015
Ingredients :
1 Whole Cake (Any flavor of your choice)
2 cups Frosting
Candy Melts
1 tablespoon Vegetable Or Canola Oil
Lollipop Sticks
Method:
Bake a cake. Any flavor you like, I used a strawberry cake for these. Add 2 cups of frosting. Any kind you like is fine, I used a store-bought cream cheese frosting for these. Use your clean hands to mix together the frosting and cake. This step is pretty messy! 4. Form your cake pop batter into small balls, about 3-4 tablespoons each. You don't want them to be too big, just so they easily fit in the palm of your hand.
Once you have formed all your pops (a standard size cake will make around 50 pops) put them in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or the freezer for half and hour or so. While those are in the refrigerator you can get your candy melts and other supplies ready. I like to use candy melts with 1 tablespoon of oil (canola or vegetable) and melt them in the microwave. You will probably use about twice what is pictured for all the pops. Dip a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate. Push the stick 2/3 through a cold cake pop. Dip the pop in the melted chocolate. 6. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off the pop before inverting it in the craft foam.
You will need to leave the pops in the foam while the chocolate sets. I like to drizzle on a bit more chocolate after I've dipped all the pops, just to add some texture. Once the chocolate is set these are ready to serve to guests! Enjoy and have fun customizing with different flavors and color combinations.
