Cake Pop Fun!
These were fun - but took SO LONG to make. Lots of steps, and I’m certainly not a patient person. I am glad I made them, but I likely won’t do it again. Haha
I started with a homemade cake - just a simple vanilla cake recipe with these ingredients. The confectioners sugar was for the frosting.
I blended the cake ingredients together and baked it.
Crumbled cake, pudding (didn’t use it), ice cream scoop, different colored frosting, sprinkles, and gold dust!
I added the food coloring to two different batches of frosting which I then added to the crumbled cake - to keep the colors separate. And then rolled them up like meatballs! Red and green.
I was originally going to coat all of them with frosting but I thought it would be messy - especially if I’m bringing them somewhere. So then I decided to melt chocolate and dip them in it. That ended up being messier.
But prior to dipping/decorating, you need to dip the stick into the melted chocolate and insert the stick into the cake pop, then freeze/chill so it stays inside the pop.
I didn’t have any room in my freezer - this worked just fine. :)
Then I dipped the pops in the melted chocolate. I was afraid they would fall off the stick if I moved them around in the chocolate a lot. So I sort of did a half coat, which ended up being plenty. And I added sprinkles while it was still wet.
They were super drippy and melting, so I put them back on the deck in the snow.
Merry Christmas!
