Cake pops. Easily the most fun and most delicious thing I’ve ever made. I read a lot of baking, cooking and craft blogs, and my favourite is http://www.bakerella.com. Her website is where I got the idea to make cake pops. She’s very creative, and from the photos of her intricate work, very patient. She’s just published a book (Cake Pops) and I’m expecting mine to arrive in the mail any day now.
I know I now have 2 owl related posts in a row, but that’s just the way it worked out. I thought they’d be easy to make because they have round little bodies. I don’t have any step by step pictures for them at the moment, but I’m making a bunch next weekend, so I’ll remember to take some then.
The basic idea is this:
1. Bake a cake 2. Make some cream cheese icing 3. Crumble the cake, and mix the icing with it to make a dough-like consistency 4. Make into whatever shape you want 5. Insert lolly pop sticks in the bottom 6. Dip in chocolate and decorate
Ok, it’s a lot more complicated than that, and really really time consuming. If you want to know all about it right now, visit Bakerella’s website. Otherwise, enjoy the photos and stay tuned for a cake pop how-to (Eva style) in about 2 weeks. But for now…more owl pops!!
