Cake Pops II

Hello fellow bakers!

As promised, I have been trying to keep more up to date with my blog!

I have another post on those decadent cake pops everyone loves so much.

This time I did two cakes; chocolate and funfetti.  Be sure to set aside a few hours to make these cake pops, while they are fun they are also time consuming especially if you like to experiment with the decorations :)

The first step as always is to bake the cake the night before!

(I baked 3 cakes but the extra is for another post!)

Once cake is fully cooled and you are ready to make cake pops it is time to cut the cake into fours.

Next is to take one fourth and break it in half then rub the two pieces together to crumble the cake. Be sure to break up any large pieces!

Once the cake is crumbled it is time to add the frosting! I use about half of the can at first and adjust it from there.  It is usually anywhere between half a can to 3/4 of a can of frosting to mix in.  It is better to start with too little than too much and have them fall off the stick!

Once the frosting is well incorporated it is time to shape the cake pops.

Use either a scoop or a tablespoon to scoop small amounts and form into cake balls.

Once all the fabulous cake pops are shaped it is time to wrap with celphane and stick into either the fridge for 30 minutes or freezer for 15!

While those set, I usually set up my "sprinkles station" and start melting the candy melts for 30 seconds at a time.

Okay, so after I tried the cake pops the first time.. I may have gone a little crazy on the decorations.. :)

Once they are ready to be taken out you can either leave them in the ball shape or you can shape them! I personally love the cupcake look!

Sydney and I with our pops!

We decided to leave some of the bottoms uncovered on the chocolate fudge ones.  They tasted great since they weren't completely covered in candy melts! I think I prefer them "half dipped" :)

Brace yourself for a flood of close ups! We baked a TON of cake pops..

This is Oscar, he is our little baking assistant :)  This is the face he made when I asked if he wanted a cake pop, ha ha!

I hope you all had a lovely day!!! 

Happy Baking! :)
