So yesterday I decided I was going to attempt making these sweet treats that seem to be gaining popularity. After seeing a quick easy way to make them on a blog I am rather fond of, I bought the ingredients and began my new project. Being in the kitchen and learning how to make new recipes has become something my heart is really enjoying. For you who don't have much to do on an afternoon and want to make something easy but perfectly delicious, this is the recipe for you. It is simple. Bake what ever cake mix you would like in either two small pans or one large cake pan. I chose Red velvet just because it is delicious. After baking the cake, let it cool then take it out of the pan and put it into a large bowl. Word of the wise, this part is going to get messy. Cake pops are not for those that would rather keep their hands clean while baking. Add two cups of icing, I chose cream cheese icing, to the baked cake and mix, knead, and much it together until the icing seems to be evenly distributed throughout. Next, make about 2-3 tablespoons of the mix into small balls and place them on a cooking sheet. These will go into the freezer for 1-2 hours. I found the little lollipop sticks at Wal-Mart but pretty much and grocery store should have them. You will also need two packages of candy coating for the outside of the pops. When the cake pops are done freezing, take a lollipop stick, dip the end into the candy coating then stick into the cake ball. Next, you can simply dip the pop into the chocolate to cover the surface and remove letting the excess chocolate drip off.
It was quite simple and fun to do! The nice thing about the candy coating was that it hardened quickly allowing me to set the cake pops back on the tray without making one side flat. Happy baking!
