Cake Pops

Oreo Cake Pops

Since I had some leftover cake cut up from the cake car that I made previously, I thought what could be a better way than make some cake pops out of it.  The bottom is chocolate candy melt, cake balls are quick mix sponge cake and topped with white candy melts and sprinkled with crumbled oreo's.

Soft moist cake coated with candy melts :)

Reindeer Cake Pop

Doesn't he look sad..:(

I made these reindeer cake pop for my son's christmas party at school.  I enjoyed making this guys.  Some of the chocolate cracked slightly probably because I coated the chocolate on the cake balls while still cold. My oldest son enjoyed it so much that I had to hide some from him :)

Ingredients

Baked and cooled cake of choice
1/2 can of frosting
mini pretzel
lollipop stick

Cupcake Cake pops

I made these wonderful treat for my son's birthday party.  These are made with crumbled cake mixed with frosting and rolled then dipped in candy melts. I used a candy mould to get the baking paper effect. These mini cake pops is a hit with kids. The only downside with these cuties are ...they are so small that you wont even realise how many of these are popped into your mouth :)

Robot Cake Pop

He looks like a Martian than a Robot...but heck these guys are cute and yummy !

These cake pops are becoming quite popular these days with kids and adults.  These are made with cake, crumbled and mixed with some frosting and then rolled and dipped in candy coating.  The rest of it is up to your imagination. I made these for my younger son's school for his birthday.  He wanted a robot cake which I will be doing soon but since the children are small I thought that the cake pops would be a good choice for them.

Ingredients


1  box cake mix
1  (16-ounce) container ready-made frosting
1  (1-pound) bag white candy coating morsels
few drop of black candy coloring
Lollipop sticks
(Styrofoam block)
Lifesavers
Eyeball sprinkles
M&M
Bracelet Candy
Sour Belts

Method

•  Bake cake according to package instructions. Allow cake to cool completely.
• Cut the cake into quarters. Finely crumble each quarter of cake in a large bowl. 
• Add half the container of frosting. Mix into cake crumbles until well combined. Mixture should stick together to form a ball, not too crumbly, not too wet. (Add more frosting, if needed.) Reserve remaining frosting for another use.
• Shape cake mixture into 2-inch squares. Place on wax paper-lined baking sheet, cover and chill in fridge till firm. 
• Carefully melt red candy coating in a deep bowl in microwave according to package directions. 
• Dip 1/4-inch of a lollipop stick into candy coating mixture; insert the stick straight into the cake square on one end, almost half-way. Holding cake square at the surface of the candy coating, spoon coating evenly over cake square; and carefully tap off any excess. Work quickly, but not too forcefully or the cake ball will fall off the stick. Place end of stick in the Styrofoam block until sturdy and allow to dry. Continue with remaining squares.
• Dip a toothpick into the coating and use like glue to adhere the Lifesavers as neck piece, eyeballs, yellow round sprinkles for nose, candy bracelet piece and pink diamond sprinkles for antennae, sixlets as ears and sour belt pieces as mouth.

Yield: about 28-30 cake pops.

I was laughing my head off thinking that I was suffocating the poor robot...
