We had some spare cakes going spare the other week (as a result of them sticking to tins or being so light they collapsed under their own weight), so I decided to do some experimenting with cake pops. I've never made cake pops (or even had one) so I really don't know texture wise what they should be like. As a result I tried out 2 recipes. One using chocolate and one using frosting.
Firstly I tried out this recipe. I had seen it on a food show so saw how they should turn out. Mine weren't that successful.
Making the cake pops were fine, it was the coating and decorating that didn't work so well. I think I made them too big for the strength of the sticks I was using so there was a tendency for them to fall off into the melted chocolate when dipping and then into the selection of toppings I picked from our baking cupboard.
Taste wise, you can't beat chocolate.
The second recipe I tried was slightly more successful but still needs practice. That attempt will follow shortly.
