Cake Pops

Here is a step by step on the cake pops I made today. They were really cute. I would make these again. And they tasted good to me.


Here is the cake baking in the oven. I had originally planned to use the cake out of the bowl to make a base to stick the pops in. In the end, the pops were a little to heavy for that.


Here are some chopped pecans.

Here is some shredded coconut

Here is the chocolate before I melted it.

I took the cake out of the oven and checked it for doneness with a toothpick. It came out clean!

I let the cake cool and then put it in a big bowl and started adding frosting. I basically just mushed it up with my hands. MESSY!!!

I rolled the mixture into balls and placed on a lined cookie sheet.

I melted the chocolate and then dipped the stick in it before sticking it in the cake balls.

Here are the balls with their sticks stuck in them. Now these are off to the freezer.

I didn't take pictures of dipping the pops in the melted chocolate or rolling them in the nuts and coconut. Sorry!! My hands were a mess and Michael was asleep on the couch. Here's the finished product. I got some floral foam to stick the stick in.

I had a basket big enough to hold all 3 foam blocks. You can see I did some plain chocolate too.

I put a little "hay" in the basket to cover the foam.

Here's an up close of the one rolled in nuts. These were my favorites.

I've got to say I'm really pleased with these. I got tons of compliments and questions. Yay!!!
