So, yesterday I was on a mission, to try to make my first homemade cake pops. You know, you see them at the Starbucks for sale, those cute little cake suckers that when you bite into them, they're so moist and splendid! Well, I knew there was a way to make them yourself, and I wanted to learn how. I researched the recipe, and found out this:
You make a cake like you usually do then you crumble the cake into a bowl then add 3/4 of a container of Frosting. Talking to some other women, I heard it's even better if you use a homemade buttercream recipe, but this was my first attempt, I wasn't going to try making the frosting on my own yet.
I go to the store to get the ingredients: Cake mix, check. Eggs, check. Oil, check. I run off to the craft store to get the Candy melts for the coating on the outside of the cake mixture, check.
And now I am home! I put the cake in the oven and get the candy melts ready in their seperate bowls. Cake gets down, I crumbled it up, mix in the frosting then roll into balls. I put the sucker sticks into the mixture, then throw them into the freezer! THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. One batch I kept out and tried to do the dipping of the candy coating, and alls they did was fall apart, and it made a heap of a mess!
I take the cake out of the freezer then i begin dipping into the candy melt for the shell. After this, I let them dry, and then decorated with sprinkles, etc. I would upload a picture, however, I'm far too embarassed to show you the results!
The end result: It doesn't matter how they look, they all end up in the same place anyhow, right?
Have you tried to make Cake Pops before? How have they gone for you?
