Cake Pops

I've just stumbled into the world of cake pops and I just love what I see.

I had to make them for Zan's party, why?  because they're different, I'd never seen them at a party before and what kid doesn't love a treat on a stick?

I decided that because I was also making cupcakes I didn't want to do your usual standard cake pops, so  I spiced it up a bit.  I made Mars Bar Pops!

I whipped up a batch of Mars Bar Slice and instead of putting it in a tray to set I simply put the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes just to allow it to firm slightly.  Then (with clean hands) I rolled the mixture into bite size balls and stuck a lolly pop stick into it, then placed it back in the fridge to set.

Once set, I melted some white chocolate and added a squirt of blue chocolate dye (otherwise referred to as candy color).  I simply dipped each pop in the melted chocolate and placed back in the fridge to set.  You can by pre-coloured chocolate from Spotlight.  This is far more affordable if you're making something as a one off.  If you're planning on dying chocolate on a regular basis then you're better off buying the colouring from specialty cake making stores.

Note: I used a florist block to stand my cake pops upright.

They were a big hit!
