Cake Pop

Adorable cake pops....inspired from BAKERELLA if you haven't seen her blog you must check it out! She gives great step by step directions and is the mastermind behind the cakepop movement. ( she also has an adorable book out).


To make you need :

cake mix ( and all ingredients required to make the cake)
1 container of complimentary frosting
candy melts ( I used pink and brown)
sprinkles
tiny ice cream cones ( I used Joy Cones that I found at Target)
red peanut m&m's

Make cake, cool completely ( or let sit for one day). quarter cake then take desired amount and crumble the cake . Add frosting following guide below...mix well. form into balls and place on cookie sheet , put in freezer for 15 min. take out. Dip ball in melted candy melts ( I did this on a double broiler). Drip off most of the excess, place on cone allow some pink chocolate to drip over the cone. add sprinkles ( i like jimmies for the look) then top with a tiny bit of melted brown chocolate ( this will re melt the drying pink chocolate so don't use to much). add a red m&m cherry on top. ..allow to dry . Present to eat or place in candy bags w/ ribbon for a cute gift.


1 quarter cake makes approximately 8 balls (ours were about 1 1/2 inches across)
for each quarter of a cake use 3-4 tablespoons of frosting.
