How to make cake pops
- Mix together all the ingredients for your favourite cake recipe, then using a cake pop baking tray, carefully spoon mix into each individual mould. This baking tray will produce 20 perfectly shaped cake pops - be sure to leave the cake pops to cool after baking for around 20-30 minutes before decorating.
- Once cooled, securely place cake pop sticks into each ball of cake. A top tip is to dip the top of each stick in icing before attaching to each cake ball; this will add extra stability to your cake pops.
- There are numerous ways to decorate your cake pops - to get the most professional finish, we suggest standing your cake pops using a simple Styrofoam block or a cake pop holder to keep them secure when decorating.
- The easiest way to decorate your cake pops is to simply dip them into melted chocolate, followed by sprinkles, edible glitter, mini marshmallows or even more chocolate for a tasty treat. For a more creative approach, add food colouring to white chocolate to create a rainbow of brightly coloured cake pops.
- As a finishing touch, simply tie a small ribbon in a beautiful bow at the base of each cake pop.
