I recently reviewed the book Pop Bakery by Claire O'Connell and when I saw the stylish leopard print cake pops inspired by nail artists I knew they would be perfect for Annie: a gal who loves leopard print and flouro pink! Her birthday was on Tuesday so at the weekend I made my first cake pops.
The only change I made to the recipe in Pop Bakery was changing the flour to gluten-free flour and I used a very bright pink edible dust on mine. I wrapped the sticks in silver washi tape and tied pink bows around them. I packaged them in lace print cellophane bags from Jusco.
Making the chocolate cake balls was relatively simple but coating them in chocolate was a bit tricky to get smooth as my cake balls started to spin on their sticks. Next time I make them I will try inserting the sticks into the cake balls and leaving them to set in the fridge before coating them. I am hoping that will hold the cake ball firm on the stick so the cake doesn't start spinning as I coat them in chocolate.
They tasted great, lovely and moist and looked cute! Will definitely be making more cake pops, such a fun treat! The best bit; Annie loved them!
Have a sweet day!
OMG soooo cute and YUMMY
ReplyDeletesuper funky, and i bet they taste just as good!
ReplyDeleteI am soo late commenting on this. Awesome idea..quick tip: next time you can dip the sticks in melted chocolate first and then insert them in the cake balls, put it in the fridge for it to set up. That should help with the spinning. Anyway...super cute leopard prints
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute - I LOVE them!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun little cake pops!
ReplyDeleteI want the recipe! They are super cute!!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you make the chettah print? is it edible paint?
ReplyDeleteI used edible dusting powder for the pink and black food colouring.
DeleteI really love the way the pattern turned out in these... super cute with the pink! The way you display them in the photo is really clever too. Where did you find the thin tubes? Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteHi Janine, The thin tubes are glass bottles I use to store my beads in. I bought mine in Hong Kong but you can find similar at Tiger stores and Panduro hobby.
