Equipment
- 12 Sucker Sticks
- Polystyrene Board
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 7 Cupcakes Ready-Made
- ΒΌ cup Buttercream Icing Ready-Made
- 1 bar Baking Chocolate
- Powdered Colorant (as much as needed)
- Sprinkles Assorted
Instructions
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!
