Instructions
Step 1
Pre-bake or buy a chocolate cake. Turn the cake into crumbs either by hand or in a processor. (Make sure to let the cake cool first if you have made from scratch!)
Step 2
Use a fork to mix in the frosting and icing sugar until the mix is uniform in colour. Be careful not to over work or it will become stodgy.
Step 3
Shape by hand into balls or use a heart shaped cookie cutter dipped in icing sugar for Valentine's Day heart cake pops. Chill for 10 minutes.
Step 4
Melt some of the chocolate, enough to dip sticks or straws at the top, then put these into the base of each shape. Chill until set.
Step 5
Melt the rest of the chocolate in a small bowl, dip each pop quickly and gently tap off the excess. If you leave it too long in warm chocolate it may fall off!
Step 6
Use a polystyrene block or purpose made stand to hold the pops while they set.
Step 7
Once set, melt the red candy melts following the instructions on pack. Use a piping bag and cut a small hole in the end. Pipe lines or words on your pops and add sprinkles.
Step 8
For a professional finish you can add lollipop wrappers and ties.
Step 9
These work with any flavour cake so can be really personal.
