This awesome lady named Bakerella published a book. An awesome book Cake Pops! We love them because they are so tender, so flavorful, and so darn cute! The girls school had a bake sale at their Halloween Happening celebration this Friday, so I thought I would donate some. Another parent donated some too, and so I purchased them. Why not try someone else's right? Wrong!! What a disappointment! Nothing against the cook, but they were made with the commercial cake pop mold, and they were unfortunately dry and plain. Below is the correct way to make cake pops.
Bake a boxed cake, make sure not to use a supermoist,
if that is all you can find add less frosting (thats what I did)
When the cake is cool crumble it into a bowl and add some frosting.
Make sure the frosting is incorporated and helps the crumbs stick together.
Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and refrigerate.
Melt some chocolate candy coating.
Dip the end of a lollypop stick in the chocolate and then insert into a cake ball.
Dip the ball into the chocolate to coat
Then decorate as you wish
I burnt the orange candy coating in the microwave,
luckily I had some in brown on hand.
I had some labels, by Martha Stewart Crafts, for goodie bags but decided to stick them on some mason jars instead. Now we can use them year after year!
Happy Halloween!!
