Instructions

Baking Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4.

Step 2

Lightly grease and flour a 25cm round cake tin or a 20cm square cake tin.

Step 3

To make the cake, cream the unsalted butter and the caster sugar for approximately 5 minutes until it turns pale and fluffy. Mix 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add half the self-raising flour and then half the milk and mix until fully combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until a light golden brown.

Step 6

Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Decorating Instructions:

Step 7

To make the cake pops, remove the crust of the cake with a sharp kitchen knife and crumble the vanilla cake finely into a large mixing bowl.

Step 8

Once you have crumbled the cake, add in one heaped tablespoon of Renshaw Vanilla Frosting at a time, and mix with the crumbs. You may not require all of the frosting, depending on how moist your cake is, so use a little at a time. Keep mixing until you have a fudge-like texture. To see if it's ready, squeeze a little of the mixture in your palm – it should be pliable and not crumble. If you add too much frosting the mixture will be soggy, sticky and heavy and the cake pops will fall off the cake pop stick when you try to dip them in the Colour Melts.

Step 9

Wrap the cake pop mixture in cling film and chill for at least one hour. The mixture should be firm but not too hard when it's ready to work with.

Step 10

Break off a small piece of the mixture and roll into a ping pong sized ball with your palms. Place the cake eggs on a tray lined with baking paper. Refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are firm.

Step 11

Melt your colour melts following the instructions on the packs.

Step 12

Take each long cake pop lollipop stick and dip one end 2cm deep into the one of the three melted colour melts. Immediately insert the stick into the centre of each cake ball, stopping the stick half way through. Place on a tray lined with baking paper for 1 to 2 minutes to set.

Step 13

Take each cake pop on a stick and dip fully your chosen colour. When dipping, be sure to cover right to the top of the stick to secure the cake pop in place. Gently tap the cake pop over the bowl to remove any excess colour melt.

Step 14

Leave to set standing up in a piece of polystyrene.

Step 15

Knead and roll out Renshaw Fuchsia Pink and White Ready to Roll Icing on a clean dry work surface lightly dusted with icing sugar to approximately 2mm.

Step 16

Using a plunger cutter, cut out 25 flower shapes and leave to set in an apple try or egg carton.

Step 17

When set, stick the flowers on top of each cake pop using melted colour melts.
