cake pops

So I talked about the cake pops I made with sis Emily a few weeks ago on my twitter and I keep getting questions for a step by step. Here are the Halloween inspired cake pops I made for the cast today....a step by step if you will.....

I found my original inspiration at Bakerella. I like this tutorial from Pioneer Woman too :)

take a cooled 13 x 9 cake and crumble into a large-ish bowl

chocolate pre-made frosting....easy, quick, and unpretentious :)

add spoonfuls of frosting into cake crumbles and mix

continue to mix frosting and crumbly cake together to create a dough

roll by hand into similar sized balls and place on a cookie sheet
Line with foil {or wax paper} to ease clean up

place in the freezer for a quick chill
or put in the fridge for a few hours to get 'em all nice and solid

your tools
styrafoam block, candy/choco melts, deco, lolly sticks

take cake balls out of freezer and insert lollipop stick into cooled cake pop

melt choco/candy melts in a double broiler {I actually did mine in the microwave}
use a little shortening/veg oil to thin out the chocolate a bit if you need
use a spoon or mini spatula to cover cake pop

put them onto the Styrofoam block and into the freezer for a few minutes
then, transfer to the fridge for more solidifying

time to dress it up with some Halloween ribbon and candy wrapper

finished product

A bunch of gorgeous Halloween Cake Pops
