What’s cuter than a cupcake? A cake pop, of course!
The cute small cakes on a stick from decorated balls to nicer shapes such as ice cream cones, baby chicks and even cupcakes these beautiful creations are the best alternative to cake that can served at any party or get-together. This cake pop turns to an international sensation by a blogger Bakerella.
A cake pop is a form of a cake styled as a lollipop. This cake made from crushing a cake and turns it into a cake crumbs and mixing with icing or chocolate and formed into a small spheres or cube in the same way as cake balls, before dipped in to a coating of frosting or icing, chocolate or other decorations, it is attached to lollipop sticks.
According to a history, the popularity of cake pop increased between 2009 and 2011. A book named “Cake Pop” by Bakerella showed on the New York Times bestseller list. This cake is available in many bakeries and groceries. The ingredients that used to make this cake pop is basically has many variations and the traditional cake pop can be made from cakes of any flavor.
After the cake has been baked or the leftover from the existing cake has been collected, it is crushed into pieces and turns it into crumbs. These cake crumbs are mixed in a bowl and combined with frosting or chocolate until everything mixed well and roll them into balls or whatever the shapes you wish to make. Each ball is attached to a lollipop stick and once you have done attaching all the balls with the stick you can go ahead and dip the cake balls into the coating icing and decorate them as you like.
The small-sized and cute-styled of the cake makes this one fit to be served for any party, especially for the kids. Mostly, making the cake is spent on the shaping of the cake into the desirable form and decorates it. The rest of the step is basically the simplest. Because all you need to do is just turn the cake into the crumbs cake add with frosting and there you go, you can mold the cake into the whatever shapes you want and be it.
In this tutorial of making the cake pop balls I would like to show you some tricks of decorating and how to make a beautiful and cute cake pop for the kids. I would like to pick the bright color for decorating and some candy milk just to make the cake pops looks even prettier. And also here I’m using the fully cake, and crush it to make the cake crumbs. But if you have the leftover cake in your kitchen, that’s ok you can also use them.
Once you have the cake crumbs, the next thing you may have to do is pour the icing cream into the cake crumbs and gently fold them in together using your hand and knead it down just until everything is well combined. Then, roll the cake crumbs into the small balls and do the same thing to the rest of the cake crumbs. Once you have the cake balls, you can put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes. You don’t want your cake to be frozen so after about 15 minutes put them in refrigerator and let them stay chill there and while they are chilling you can prepare the candy coating.
After your cake balls ready to go, grab the lollipop stick, dip it into the candy coating for about a half inch, take it out and insert it straight into the cake ball. But just don’t go more than halfway in your cake ball or the lollipop stick will appear through the cake ball. Then insert the cake into the candy coating until the whole surface of the cake covered with candy coating then remove it. Once you have done, go ahead and place it into your styrofoam board.
