It’s Day 5 of our Valentine’s Day series, how are you liking all of the projects so far? Today, Nicole from Thrifty Decorating is here with a great tutorial on how to make festive cake pops! I’ve been wanting to try cake pops for a while now and Nicole makes it look so easy!
I’m so excited to be visiting Design, Dining and Diapers today! I love Taryn’s blog and all of her beautiful projects! It’s my pleasure to be here sharing my Valentine’s ideas….this project is so simple that even a non-baker like me can make them!
Have you tried making cake pops? I’m not a baker….at ALL and I was
able to successfully make these!
All you need is a cake mix, frosting, chocolate melting wafers and sprinkles!
1. Make the chocolate cake according to the package directions.
(I added 1 tsp of mint flavoring for a special twist!)
2. After allowing the cake to cool completely, break into pieces and add enough
frosting to make a gooey mess that sticks together! Roll into balls.
3. To attach the stick, dip it in melted chocolate and then push it into the
cake ball….allow chocolate to harden.
4. Dip the cake ball in the melted chocolate and spoon the chocolate over it
to get any missed spots!
I don’t have a double boiler, so I just put water in a pan and place a metal bowl in
the pan….the key is to keep the temperature LOW!
Once the cake pop is dripping in chocolate, add some cute sprinkles…..
And you get these……
Happy Valentine Baking!
