Valentines Cake Pops Recipe
Copyright © 2022 – This original recipe is by Taryn Bloem – thesupermomsclub.com
Prep Time: 35 – 40 minutes + baking time for the cupcakes!
Yield: 12 Cake Pops
Ingredients:
7 Red Velvet Cupcakes (RECIPE HERE)
¼ cup Buttercream Icing (RECIPE ABOVE)
Baking Chocolate (for coating)
Powdered Colorant (of your choice)
Assorted Sprinkles
12 Sucker Sticks
Method:
Place the ready-made red velvet cupcakes into a mixing bowl, and break them up into crumbs.
Add the ready-made buttercream icing and mix it into the cupcakes, making a dough. If your mixture is dry, you can add an extra spoon or two of the icing. Place the dish in the freezer for 5 minutes to get cold.
Once cold, measure out 1 Tbsp. + 1 tsp of the mixture, squeeze it together, and roll it into a ball.
Using some melted baking chocolate, place the end of the sucker stick into it, and then place the sucker stick into the cake pop ball. Place the ball on a plate to dry and set.
Once set, place the sucker sticks into some polystyrene, standing up-right, and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. DON’T LEAVE THEM IN LONGER THAN 15 MINUTES, as when they are coated in the chocolate, they will sweat and crack!
Once cold, dip the cake pops in some melted chocolate. Once coated, spin and tap the excess chocolate of in a continuous motion. Place back into the polystyrene to dry.
Once dry, drizzle with a different color melted chocolate, and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!
