My name is Michelle….and I have an addiction….
TO CAKE POPS!
I’m not even a sweets person (except for one week out of the month heehee), but I have yet to meet a cake pop that I didn’t like.
The first few times I made them, I melted the chocolate in the microwave. Then I met this bad boy and my life was changed….
The chocolate pro is now my cake-pop-makin’ best friend!!
You just add the morsels and in a few minutes, it is melted to a smooth, even consistency. No more racing time to get everything dipped. OH THANK YOU WILTON!
Okay…enough of my gushing…and let’s get on with the project.
Here is what you need to create this project:
Refrigerated cake pieces
Edible decorative embellishments
Dip the cake into the chocolate (sorry, I wasn’t coordinated enough to take a picture of the actual process). :) I only did a partial dip, but a typical cake pop is completely covered in chocolate.
These are technically called “cake balls”, but I have an issue with calling it that. ;)
Sprinkle the decorative topping onto the cake pop.
You can put them in mini cupcake liners for added presentation.
Speaking of presentation – packing is an important factor in cuteness. For this project, I chose mini Chinese takeout boxes.
For the label, I printed the phrase “A Sweet Treat for Someone Sweet” on regular white printer paper then punched it out with a 1” circle punch. The decorative background paper was punched using a 3” circle punch.
I found these cute stickers in the dollar section at Michael’s and added them to the tags.
With the handy dandy Paper Tagger, the labels were attached to the boxes.
The finished product…
