Check out this link that I have just come across for Cake Pops... http://www.bakerella.com/category/pops-bites/cake-pops/ like lollipops but made of cake. These would be great for a party etc. Hope you feel inspired.

Those are fantastic! I only wish I had the skill (and patience!) to do something like that.

They are absolutely fabulous:T, and although I've never made anything like that before I'm making some for my cousins wedding in August:eek:. Am attempting the wedding cake ones, although I've got my birthday before then so am making some for my friends and family, but I'll only (listen to her "only"!) be trying the smiley faced ones:T

glad you like them, I think they are too cute to not post and pass on the idea.

Thanks OP for posting this

They seem to be taking off in a big way now. I saw them a couple of weeks ago and am going to make some for my sis's 30th birthday party. (GULP!)

For those interested in trying them theres some good tutorials on youtube - as well as some nice ideas.

PS love the wedding cake ones nunnygirl. But they do look like hard work. Well done you, I hope they turn out fab.:T

i have tried making these, and it was a total failure

dont know if its because i used a proper sponge mix, rather than the packet mix required, or the fact you cant get candy melts or ready-made frosting off the shelf in the UK, so had to improvise, but i just ended up with sticky blobs of cake, that wouldnt stay on the sticks

Could you use a truffle mixture that had cake in it. When I make truffles before I shape them the mixture is chilled and it becomes firm. Thats how I thought I would do the base for mine when i do them

a truffle mix would prob work better, but truffles tend to be heavier than cake, so they might be a bit top heavy on the sticks?

You can get candy melts in the uk, I used to purchase them off ebay when I made novelty chocolate lollies...something shack she is called just but candy melts in the search or chocolate making and she should come up. I will try and find it for you and post her name if allowed:D

Sorry just reread this did you mean in a supermarket? Unless they sell wilton suppies then maybe not. Though just checked on ebay and they are sold for £3.50 Called wilton candy melts
