Cake Pops!

Who doesn't like a good creative dessert? You don't? Well then go away -_-, anyway!!!! You will need a box of cake mix, I love strawberry cake! Do that one(; You will need a large bowl, a cake pan, table spoon,  any frosting will work(if you look at one of my old post you can also make your own frosting if you would like), cookie sheet, lollipop sticks, parchment paper, and a 3/4th table spoon to scoop with so everything is the same size. 

1. Bake the cake as instructed on the box. Then you want to cut it into four pieces and let it cool on a plate or cooling rack.

2. If you aren't make a hugeeee thing of them, like more than 5... wrap the rest of the cake up in foil and sticky wrap(yes, I know that's not the right name for it but I call it sticky wrap!). Then put it in the freezer and it will be fine for another use later. (oh yea, cut the edges off so you don't have chunky cake pops(; )

3. Then cut your 4th of the cake into 4ths also! Take 2 of the 4ths and then put them in the large bowl and crumble it. I prefer to do this with my hands but if you don't like getting dirty, use a fork -_-

4. Now you need to mix your frosting into the crumblies of the cake. Don't use to much or they will be to moist and will be to heavy to stay on the sticks.


5. Mash it together until it is one ball. Then use the measuring spoon to make even balls of cake, then roll the ball in your hands to make it perfectly round.

6. Put them onto the cookie sheet with parchment paper on it and let them sit in the fridge over night to harden. (put something over it)

7. Melt chocolate bark to dip the cake balls in it(if you use white chocolate almond bark, then you can use food coloring to color the chocolate as wanted.). Once it is melted, then get your cake balls, dip the lollip pop sticks in the chocolate and then put the cake on the stick, then dip the cake into the chocolate also. 

8. Put then in cups that are weighed down if you don't have foam block to stick them into. That will let them cool without getting a flat side. Before they cool you can also put sprinkles or colored sugar or things like that to make them pretty.

 


9. Let them cool for about an hour. Then you are good to go and eat them!
