Cake Pops
Background - I recently went to a graduation party where one of the desserts were cake pops. After I tried them, I fell in love - and decided to try them for myself! Prep time: 30 minutes
Freeze time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 1/2 hours
Servings: 10-20
What you will need:
- A toothpick
- Styrofoam
- 10-20 lollipop sticks
- 12 oz of candy coating
- A cake baked in a 13x9 pan (your choice of cake flavor)
- A tub (2 cups) of frosting (your choice of color)
Directions:
- Break up the cake into fine crumbs and place into a large bowl
- Add in frosting a little bit at a time until cake is moist. Use a spoon or your hands (recommended) to mix it in. The cake should be able to hold a ball shape but still be slightly crumbly. *The exact amount of frosting needed will depend on the moistness of the cake*
- Roll cake into small balls using an ice cream scooper or a small teaspoon
- Set them aside on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper
- Place in freezer for approximately one hour to make them easier to work with
- In the mean time melt the candy coating in the microwave or using a stove and stir until smooth
- After an hour has passed take balls out and use a toothpick to poke a hole in the bottom of each one
- Dip the end of the lollipop stick in the candy coating and place inside the ball via the hole you just created with the toothpick (The melted coating will help hold the stick in the cake pop)
- Submerge the cake pop in candy coating and tap it on bowl to remove excess candy coating *if you don't it will drip down the lollipop stick*
- Place them in either Styrofoam by sticking the lollipop end in it or on a baking sheet upside down (which will create flat tops to the cake pops - not recommended)
- Drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkles, nuts, etc while the coating is still wet.
Enjoy! |
