Halloween Inspired

There are multiple steps to making cake pops and these steps can be used to make cake pops for any occasion the only difference would be the colours you decide to use or the theme. For our Halloween Inspired cake pops I decided to make mummies.

Step 1: Making the cake

You can use any cake recipe you like, my favourite is Vanilla Cake.

Ingredients: 

• Flour                           2 cups
• Baking Powder           2 tsp
• Salt                             1/2 tsp
• Shortening                  1/2 cup
• Eggs                            2
• Sugar                          1 1/2 cups
• Vanilla                         1 tsp
• Milk                             1 1/4 cups

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix shortening, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and milk. Then mix flour, baking powder and salt in another bowl. Then add dry ingredients to other mixture. Pour into a well-greased pan.

Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.

Step 2:

When the cake comes out of the oven let it cool then break it into pieces with your hands until the whole cake is crumbled. 

Once you have crumbled the whole cake stick it in the fridge to cool. I find that it holds better if you let the cake stay in the fridge over night.

Step 3:

Once the cake is cooled put 2 large spoon full's of icing into the crumbled cake mix and mix together with your hands.

Add more icing if needed until the cake will hold well in a ball.

Roll the cake mix into balls.

Step 4:

Melt a large bowl of chocolate in the microwave.

I find it works best if i melt the chocolate for 30 seconds and then take it out at mix it until chocolate has a liquid consistency. 

Step 5:

Take each stick and dip them into the melted chocolate and stick one into each ball.

I find doing this makes the cake hold to the stick better when you dip them in chocolate.

Step 6:

Take the cake on a stick and dip them into the melted chocolate until completely covered and decorate as necessary. 

Let them cool and enjoy :)

Happy Halloween!
