Some of my decorated Cake Pops

 To make Cake Pops:

• 1 cake mix
• An extra egg
• Cake Pop pan

1.  Grease Cake Pop pan and preheat oven according to cake mix instructions.
2. Make cake mixture according to instructions, adding in an extra egg to help make the cake more dense.
3. Pour the Cake mixture into the Cake Pop pan and put into preheated oven.
4. Leave the cakes in the pan until the pan has fully cooled, then, take Cake Pops out of the pan and onto a wire rack to cool.
5. To make Cake Pops more crispy you can put the cake balls onto a cookie tray and bake for a few more minutes.

Alternative (no Cake Pop pan):

• 1 already made cake 
• 2 cups of Frosting (any flavour you like)

1. Break up the cake in a food processor until the cake is just crumbs.
2. Put the cake crumbs into a bowl and add 2 cups of frosting. 
3. Use your hands to mix the frosting and cake crumbs together.
4. Form your cake mixture into small balls (About 2-3 tablespoons each). 
5. Once you have formed all your Pops, put them into the fridge for about and hour or so or the freezer for about 30 minutes.

 Decorating the Cake Pops:

There are so many different ways to decorate Cake Pops. You can use chocolate, sprinkles, frosting, fondant, anything that will stick the the pop works!

But for my Chocolate coated Cake Pops you will need:

• Chocolate (Any type that you like) 
• Lollipop sticks
• Food colouring to colour white chocolate (optional)

1. Melt the chocolate. You need quite a lot depending on how many Cake Pops you have. Dip about a cm of the lollipop stick into the chocolate and push into the center of the Cake Pop. Put into the fridge or freezer to set. 
2. Melt more chocolate and colour it to your liking. Dip the Cake Pop into the chocolate until covered. Put into the fridge or freezer to set.
3. Using a toothpick/skewer, dip the skewer into chocolate and decorate the Cake Pops however you like. 
4. Leave to set in the fridge and enjoy!
