I hope everyone is having a good Easter weekend! A quick post from me today - no baking involved. Just cake and buttercream and sprinkles on a stick otherwise known as cake pops. I had quite a bit of cake leftover from making my easter eggs with a twist. The cakes overflowed over the egg shells and I kept the cake crumbs with the intention of just eating them but then I thought why not make some cake pops? I thought about making cute easter chicks/bunnies or easter eggs but in the end decided to just use some sprinkles as it was much easier and less time consuming!
I'm sending this to Frugal Food Fridays run by Helen from Fuss Free Flavours and hosted by Utterly Scrummy this month. Cake pops are a great way to use up leftover/stale cake and is a fun project to do with the kids. You can make it as fancy or simple as you like. Here I've used leftover cake, candy melts and sprinkles (I had an odd assortment of sprinkles which had just a small amount in each box).
I'm also sending this to Bunny hop, an Easter link party hosted by Mrs Fox's Sweets
cake crumbs, candy melts, buttercream
shape cake pops, then chill in the fridge for approximately 15 minutes or until firm
dip the cake balls in candy melts and pour sprinkles over them before the candy melt sets. Allow to dry completely.

Good thinking Batman! My wee Cooper would love these and he would have been enthralled by the cake in an egg too :)

DeleteLovely cake pops...a great way to use up left over crumb! I'm going on a cake pop course in May which I won...so looking forward to it! :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on winning a cake pop class - which one is it? I'm thinking of going to another one as I'm terrible at making them look nice!
DeleteThanks...it was a Cakes 4 Fun one. They have/had a quarterly cake design competition and the winner gets a free course of their choice. I've seen courses at quite a few places! Your cake pops look great already though! :-)
Deletethese are so so so so SOOO cool. I def wanna have a go at making some- but i am back on the old atkins, so it will be such a tease if i make these and can't eat them!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! If you can resist, you can make them for others (I can't as I have no will power!)
DeleteI love cake pops! My favorite are red velvet with cream cheese frosting. I can go crazy with them!
ReplyDeleteI love red velvet with cream cheese frosting but have not made them into cake pops yet. Will have to give it a go sometime.
