Or...why not make them yourself!
Cake pops are a fun way to make
some tasty little fabulous favors for your guests. Here’s
how to do it:
- Make a cake (2 – 9 inch cakes). You can use a box mix
or make your cake from scratch – whatever you feel most
comfortable with. Break the cake up into small pieces (or run
the cake through a food processor til crumbly).
- Make a ganache, click
here to learn how, or
use a 1 tub of frosting. Mix the cake pieces with the ganache
or frosting until the mixture sticks together fairly well.
- Chill or freeze the cake balls until firm.
- Add a lollipop stick into the balls about half way before dipping
into melted chocolate.
- Melt chocolate to dip the cake balls into (be sure to add a
couple of pats of butter to make the chocolate glossy). Here’s
where you can get creative: you can use dark, milk or white chocolate
but you can also visit your local cake decorating store or craft
store to get colored chocolates to match the colors of your wedding.
You can also add food coloring to your white chocolate to match.
Dip the cake balls into the chocolate and decorate.
- Use sprinkles or nonpariels to decorate.
- Wrap with plastic and tie off with a bow. Add little paper
flags with the bride and groom’s name to the end of the
lollipop sticks.
