they seemed fairly simple to do.
Makes: 45. Roughly. Depending on how big you make them and how many you eat along the way :)
Ingredients:
Stylish Red Velvet:
1 x red velvet cake mix
1 x cream cheese icing tub
500g of dark chocolate
Gold sprinkles and gold dust
Cake pops are great because you can theme them depending on the event (e.g. Valentines Day, Christmas) and you can make them as fun or stylish as you want! For this post I'm just going to show what I did to make my first cake pops (as a present for a friend). But I may post photos of any cake pops I make in the future if they turn out well!
1. Make the cake following the instructions. Cake mixes are great to use because they're quick, and will probably give you a good consistency. Leave until cool.
2. Crumble until resembling.... crumbs. Add a whole tub of cream cheese icing and stir until combined.
3. Take a small handful of the mixture and roll into a ball. Mine were about meatball-sized, as you can see from the photo! Your hands will probably get quite sticky now. Continue until you've used all the mixture.
4. Leave to cool for at least 2 hours, in the fridge or freezer. They should be firm at the end.
5. Melt the dark chocolate over a pan of steaming water. Dip your cake pops into the chocolate and use a spoon to completely cover. Whilst the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle or cover in the gold dust. Place on a train lined with baking paper.
6. Repeat for all the cake pops. Leave to cool in the fridge until the chocolate is solid.
7. Choose the nicest ones and put them in an elegant box!
