Cake Pops Maker For An Easy Cake Pops Making

Have you tried making cake pops? No? Well, maybe it´s time for you to try these yummy goodies for your kids parties or any parties you are planning to do. It´s one way of impressing some friends who think you can´t bake. You might think that baking cake pops is difficult to do. No, it is not. Using a cake pops maker, it´s easy.

Baked Cake Pops Ready To Be Coated

I used to make cake pops from my own cake recipe before I have bought this cake pops maker. Which means I had to bake the cake first or bought the "dry" cake before crumbling it and formed the crumbles into balls before decorating. 



Using a cake pops maker is easy as I only have to make the batter of the cake pops and fill the batter into the cake pop forms in a cake pop maker. The cake pops maker has a recipe booklet and some utensils like the plastic stands and the sticks needed for making the cake pops. Either you follow the recipe included in the box or you can use your own sponge cake batter. Either way is good.

Cake Pops Maker Filled With Batter

Here´s how I did: 

1. I used the recipe included in the cake pops maker. I followed the procedure and made the batter.
2. I brushed the cake pops maker holes with butter using a silicon brush.
3. I filled the batter into the forms but not full. Just 3/4 full and baked the cake pop balls to ca. 10 minutes.
4. From this recipe, I was able to make 40 pieces of balls (photo below).
5. Then I heated the chocolate glaze I have bought for pasting the sticks into the cake pop balls. I dunk a stick (one by one) into the chocolate glaze and pasted it in cake pop ball.
6. I put the cake pop balls with chocolate glazed sticks in the fridge for at least half an hour.
7. After that, I frosted the cake pops and decorated them with dark and white chocolate sprinkles. 
8. Then I let them dry on a cake pop stand. 
9. As the cake pop balls were plenty, I only frosted what I needed. I froze the remaining balls in the freezer for      later use.

Tips:

• If you use your own sponge cake recipe, it´s okay.
• You can use an egg box as a stand for your cake pops while decorating.
• Freeze the cake pop balls if you have made plenty.
• Just in case you don´t have cake pop sticks anymore, you can use mini cupcake papers.

My Chocolate Strawberry Cake Pops

Chocolate Strawberry Cake Pops made last Christmas 2014

As you might have known already, I am passionate about baking that I keep on creating and tweaking my own recipes and some food that I have tried somewhere in the restaurants or in a party. This Chocolate Strawberry Cake Pops recipe was created when I had a chocolate cake leftover from  my self baked chocolate sponge cake.

INGREDIENTS: 30-40 pieces

• 1 small chocolate sponge cake or 4-5 cups of leftover cake
• 4-6 tablespoons Strawberry marmalade
• 35 or more lollipop sticks
• ready made chocolate glaze (if you don´t have time to make  your own)
• a styrophor box or egg box for sticking the cake pops
• multicolored sprinkles for decorating the cake pops
• chocolate shavings for decorations
• brush

PROCEDURE:

                                       1. Crumbled the chocolate cake.
 

           2. Mix the chocolate cake crumbles with strawberry marmalade very well.

                        3. The chocolate strawberry mixture will look like this above.

4. Roll a teaspoon (or more if you want to form a bigger one) of the mixture into a ball. When done, put the chocolate strawberry balls in the fridge for an hour or two.

5. After that, prepare the chocolate glaze (see below). Then dip one end of the lollipop stick in the glaze and insert it (just until the middle) in the chocolate strawberry ball, one after the other.

6. Insert the ready to glaze cake pops in a styropor, egg box or in a cake pop kit you can have when buying a cake pop machine.

7. When all the cake pops have their lollipop sticks inserted, start putting the chocolate glaze in them with the use of brush or a tablespoon. See to it  that the excess glaze will be gone and then decorate the cake pops by dipping each ball in the saucer with sprinkles or chocolates while the glaze is still wet. Let the chocolate strawberry cake pops stay in the fridge until you serve them.


Making Chocolate Glaze:

• 100 gram Couverture, at least 70% dark chococlate
• 50 gram double  cream
• Vanilla, cinnamon or rum flavoring

1. Cut the couverture in small pieces and melt with the double cream in low heat.
2. Add the flavouring before getting it off from the fire.
3. Keep stirring until melted and the glaze looks shiny and smooth.

I know, it sounds like a lot of work to make those goodies but as long as you enjoy making them, it does not matter. You can make them with your grandchildren and I am sure they will love decorating the cake pops. I have not put the hours I was making this as I always forgot but I will next time I do them. Enjoy making!!!
