OS Cake Pops!

greenbee

the place I do my cake decorating classes does these, and even the tutors admit that they're incredibly sickly (as someone said, crumbs and buttercream coated with chocolate and icing... hardly any cake). Last time I was there they were preparing the models for a class, and they took a LOT longer than doing even quite spectacular cupcakes (like buttercream flowers) or detailed sugarpaste models.

But fun to try - enjoy the experiment!

Do you know what I had never heard of these before this post but DC came home from nursery today with one they had made

I've gone mad on cakepops. I love them. Here are a few I have made. I make my own cake, and use buttercream to bind them together. Candy melts are a lot better to coat them than chocolate, I find.

Annieh they are gorgeous! Will def try them and weekend and let you know.

Surely we can think of something less sickly than buttercream to bind?
:rotfl:

Some recipes just use melted chocolate to bind them, like Dr Oetker http://www.oetker.co.uk/oetker_uk/html/default/debi-8ehm3n.en.html?Search=true

Here are some I shaped in mini biscuit cutters. I froze the cake balls beforehand though, and the texture is a bit mushy. Best made fresh.
