Before I get into today's post,I would like to thank all my dear readers and face book followers for making this happen,yeah my followers in FB is now 1000+ and it will be least if I say I am over joyed :). I am really humbled and overwhelmed by this kind of encouragement from you all in this short span.Thank you,you mean a lot to me :). Now coming to this cake pops,this is such a fit for any kind of celebration,fun to eat,tastes awesome and there is no limit for decorating these.Well all these said I kept mine very simple with minimum decoration,as I am a very novice when it comes to decorating and also the day when I was making these I had few other works and was not able to concentrate much.I was not even able to take step wise pics.Still posting it here,as we liked it very much.I used a very basic egg less chocolate cake and whipped cream frosting for this. As we dont get candy melts used for coating the cake pops here in Chennai(at least I do not know if it is available any where) I used milk chocolate and nutella.I have finally used chocolate strands and wafer crumbs to coat.Very easy to make but it does need patience.I was not able to make perfect round and also I feel I have made them bigger,next time I will correct these.Try out and let me know what you think about these :). This is not the authentic way of doing those cute little pops.I am giving here the method I tried,a very simple but absolutely delicious.Cake pops recipe
Star ingredient Chocolate cake,frosting
Time:20 minutes+setting time
Yield:30
Ingredients:
Chocolate cake
1/2 cup whipped cream or any frosting of your choice
Nutella
Milk chocolate
Chocolate beads/strands/silver beads
Wafer crumbs
Method:
1.Bake the cake and allow it to cool thoroughly.Crumble it with your hands until there are no lumps.
2.Now add the frosting and mix well again with your hands.Do not add too much frosting,it should be just enough to hold the cake crumbs together.
3.Now pinch small equal portions and shape them into balls.Arrange in a plate and refrigerate for 2 hours.
4.Melt the white chocolate and nutella in separate bowls until smooth and glossy.Dip the prepared cake pops in either of them as needed and coat thoroughly.Enter a lollypop stick and tap away the excess coating gently.
5.Immediately roll the cake pops over sprinkles,chocolate strands/wafers.
6.Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Notes:
1.You can use any kind of coating you think that will work
2.Using tempered chocolate will give a nice finishing.
