The Great Cake Pop Adventure

 I DID IT! I made Cake Pops! 
I said in my Monday post that I would be taking you along on my Cake Pop adventure. 
When I made these I hadn't gone to the store to buy ingredients, so I just had to make do with what we had around the house. I probably would have made vanilla or white chocolate ones if I'd had more of an option, but alas I did not.

I went by the book(or booklet) on my first try, because I really didn't want to make to much of a disaster out of it.
I used the Vanilla cake pop recipe the came with the maker, and it make more than I had bargained for, somewhere between four and five dozen.

Vanilla Cake Pops

 1 1/2 Cups all-purpose Flour

1 Teaspoons Baking Powder

1/4 Salt

1/2 Cup Butter Softened 

 1 Cup Sugar 

2 Eggs 

2 Teaspoons Vanilla 

1/2 Cup Milk 

Glaze or Coating of choice( I used chocolate candy coating)

 What To Do.

1# Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

2#In a separate bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla.

3#Alternately blend in the flour mixture and milk into butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

Pour the batter into a decorating bag( this step is completely optional, but I found it to work really well)

4#Fill each cooking reservoir with the cake batter. I found that if you fill them so the reservoirs are rounded at the top.

5# Bake them for four-five minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6#Allow to the cake balls to cool completely before coating or glazing.

7# Dip one end of the candy sticks in the candy coating and stick it in the cake ball. Let the the coating set completely before dipping the cake pops.

8# Dip the cake pops in the candy coating and decorate as desired. 

I found that if you put the cake pops in the fridge for a couple of minute they will cool really fast.

Over the curse of the project I only lost three cake pops, which I don't think is bad considering this was my first try.

I had so much fun making these, I think they will become a favorite for parties and family events.

Have you ever made cake pops?

Do have any tips for the next time I make them?

Let me know in the comments.

I hope you have a wonderful day!
