Poppy bakes: Cake Pops

My friends came round today, so yesterday I decided that I'd do some baking for them, but I didn't want to do the usual buns or a cake! But, I didn't want it to go disasterly ( yeah ok not a word!)wrong! With those combined, you get Cake Pops! I mixed two recipes together, as they were quite similar anyway:

1. I followed the Bero cake recipe to bake my plain cake for the inside!



2. I took it out of the oven and left it to cool ( it doesn't matter if it falls to pieces like mine as you're only going to crumble it up in a moment)

3. Crumble up your cake and add to it white melted chocolate (so that it's all the same colour)

4. Mix the two together and mould them into balls, before putting them into the fridge to set for about an hour (or until they're firm)

 

5. Stick your sticks into the balls once firm (I used incense sticks that hadn't been used... it's all I could find!!!)

 

6. Put some sprinkles into a bowl and melt some milk chocolate in a bowl and get the two ready. Dip the cake balls into the melted chocolate and then into the sprinkles (yes, this is the stage that mine went a little wrong and some fell to pieces!!!)

7. Pop them into the fridge to set one last time! It shouldn't take much longer than half and hour!

 

Then enjoy them!!! xoxo
