For those who don't know, a cake pop is basically a cake on a stick. My description though, I have to say does not do them justice as they can look very pretty and taste pretty good too.
For mine I used a recipe from 'Pop Bakery' by Claire O'Connell available from Amazon for around £5, but there are lots of other books too.
First things first...I rounded up my willing helpers :)
All cake pops start life as a bog standard cake (I made mine chocolate)
You then crumb the cake and mix it with cream cheese and icing sugar, before moulding into spheres or any shape you choose.
Toadstalls!!
And next it's time to decorate! All cake pops need a candy melt shell but then you can experiment with all sorts of toppings and decorations.
This was my first attempt at cake pops and there is definately room for improvement :p
So here they are-well the ones that were half decent!
Sorry, I forgot to take the photos before putting the celephane wraps on!
The mountain of mess to clear up...
They didn't go perfectly but were really yummy! I will post again when I make them again (hopefully more successfully!)
