Well I have to admit I tried this months challenge and it didn't go so well! I waited especially untill I went home from Uni for the weekend so I could use all of mums food dye and sprinkles and things. I've given up chocolate for lent so I planned to use icing instead. My brother decided to join in (He's better at baking than me really so I wasn't complaining!). It all started off well, we made a normally sponge cake and cut it all up a bit to cool....
Next we put it in the food blended to make it into crumbs and then mixed it with some cream cheese icing. The difficulty I found was no one seems to have a exact recipe for this,so it was all a bit of a guestimate. Anyway next step we made it into the balls (At this point everything seemed fine!)
The next stage was dipping them. As I said no chcolate for me :( Unfortunately icing doesn't appear to work! It kind of half absorbed, half slid off. And then one of the balls broke in the icing... not pretty! So we compromised, I'm afraid my cake pops never really made it to the tradition being on sticks stage but we did put them in little cases and decorate them so it wasn't too bad. Hopefully next month I'll be more successful!
The finished product...
