Cake Pops 
​
I made these cake pops from scratch because this one is a left over cake from the chocolate cake I made for my daughter. I also had a left over chocolate frosting. But if you decide to do it the easy way, you can do so by using a cake box and a ready made frosting that you can get from the market. 

 *** If you decide to make the cake from scratch, I suggest to use the cake recipes I have. CHOCOLATE CAKE, BANANA CAKES, MOCHA CAKE & MAMON.

​

INGREDIENTS FOR CAKE POPS:
  • crumbled cake
  • frosting (see recipe below)
  • candy melt or white and/or chocolate bar (I used a pack of candy melts I bought from the store)
  • cookie sticks or pop sticks
  • sprinkles to decorate
BUTTER CREAM FROSTING:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 
  • 3-4 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • up to 4 tablespoons milk ​
​
Instructions:
  • Beat butter for a few minutes on medium speed.
  • Add 3 cups of powdered sugar.
  • Beat until the sugar has been incorporated with the butter. 
  • Add vanilla extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk/cream and beat for 3 minutes.

 Notes: 
  • If your frosting needs a more stiff consistency, add remaining sugar.
  • If your frosting needs to be thinned out, add remaining milk. 1 tablespoons at a time.

​PROCEDURE TO MAKE CAKE POPS:
​
As you can see there is no exact portioning of how much cake & frosting. It will depend on what kind of cake you are going to use. 
  • Once the cake is cool, break it up in a large bowl. 
  • Stir frosting into the crumbled cake.  Mix well. (The consistency should be almost like a thick, crumbly dough). 
  • Using your hands, grab a little bit of the dough and roll into 1-2 inch balls. As you are rolling, press the dough together to make sure its compacted tightly- you don’t want them falling apart later on! (If it's still falling apart that means you need a little more frosting).
  • Place balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until the balls are cool and hard.
​
  • MELT THE CHOCOLATE BAR OR CANDY MELT - use a microwave (30 seconds at at time) or a double broiler for best results.
  • Once the chocolate is melted and cooled to room temperature, stick the cookie or pop stick into each cake pop, and dip the balls until completely coated and smooth.
  • Coat the tops with a few sprinkles right after you dip the cake pops.  
  • I served mine in a basket, filled with a styrofoam piece (so they stay put), and everyone loved them! 
  • I also wrapped each cake pops in a clear bag with ribbon for a better presentation!
