Cake Pop Halloween


 
Halloween Cake Pop
Prep Time: 1hr    Cook Time: 0 min    Ready In: 1 hr
Serving Size: 50


INGREDIENTS

1 Cake (any flavor)
2/3 Cup Frosting (any flavor)
6 Cups White Chocolate
Food Colouring
Fondant
Decorating Gel
Tic Tac
50 Wilton Cake Pop Sticks
1 Block Styrofoam



DIRECTIONS

In a mixing bowl, crumble a cake with your hands. Add in frosting and mix well.
Line 3 sheet pans with wax paper. Roll cake into a ball, about the size of a ping pong ball.
Place cake balls onto sheet pan and freeze for 20 minutes.

Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Make sure that the pot is deep enough to submerge the whole cake ball. I have used orange colouring for pumpkin cake pops and lavender for the monster pops.

Tip: Dip one end of the stick into melted chocolate and stick a cake ball onto the stick. This will help the cake to adhere to the stick.

Put the cake with stick into the fridge for 5 minutes. Dip each cake into melted chocolate.

Pumpkin: add a green tic tac onto the top of the cake pop to from the stem part of the pumpkin. I have also drawn eyes and month of the pumpkin with black gel.

Monster: let the first coat of chocolate dry. Add more chocolate onto the ball by drizzle, dab and dot with a fork, to give the texture/3D effects. Roll out some white fondant to about 1/8" thick. I have a eye shape cookie cutter, you can use a circle cutter and adhere fondant with chocolate to the cake pop. Dab a blue gel dot onto the center of the fondant to make a one eye monster cake pop.


Put the cake pop onto the styrofoam and return to fridge for 5 minutes and serve!!
