Here is a short video on how to make a Vanilla Buttercream Frosting that holds really well for decorating cakes and cupcakes.
Have you heard about cake pops? Actually, I am not familiar with it until just last year. There was a time when cake pops are so in, and people are just going crazy making them. There so many post, advice, recipes and videos online, so many design ideas, so little time to make them all.
I guess I was late in the game when I joined in the bandwagon of cake pops fanatics. Well, better late than never. I started making them last year, and I got so hooked making them. Since I love colors and decorating, the process made it even more fun and enjoyable for me.
How To Make A Cake Pop Bouquet
In this post, I am giving the basic and general ingredients and steps. You can play with the designs that you like depending on the occasion that you are making the cake pops for. I am pretty sure, that part will not be difficult for you. The design ideas are endless, you will not run out of ideas once you start making them.
Cake pops are basically crumbled cake that are shaped into small balls like lollipops and then dipped into melted chocolate and then decorated. They are good give away for birthday, valentines day, baby shower , anniversary or any holiday occasions. I had made this few times already, one for valentine’s day, birthday and just for a regular day. I had so much fun in all those instances. I hope you will enjoy making this as much as I did. Let’s get started!
I did not give exact measurements of each of the ingredients, but just an estimate. A lot of these ingredients will depend on how big or many cake pops you are making. So, I am only giving the initial measurement that you can use, then you can adjust the quantity as needed. The suggested measurements are in each step.

2. Add frosting. The amount of frosting will depend on how big and moist your cake. I normally make 6″ cake and so far I haven’t exceeded using more than 1/4 cup. Start with 1 – 2 tbsp, then mix until fully combined. Continue adding until you reach the point that it can be form into ball without crumbling. The texture should be a little bit moist, but not too much, just like the one in the photo. Always start with small portion when adding so that you can control it.
3. Form into small balls. I used 1 tbsp size to make my ball. You can make is smaller or bigger, but not too big that the popsicle stick will not be able to hold it. Use the palm of your hands to form the shape.

6. Dip the end of the popsicle stick into the Candy melt. Around 1/4 – 1/2 inch, just enough to push it to the cake pop. You do not want the popsicle stick to extend beyond the cake pop. If you are making a smaller cake pop, you only need to dip small portion of the stick.
7. Insert the stick in the cake pop. Do this for all the cake pops you have. Then let sit inside the fridge for 10 – 15 minutes to allow the candy melt to harden. This will serve as a glue to hold and prevent the popsicle stick from falling. You can also do this ahead of time and leave it overnight in the fridge.
8. Dip each cake pop into the candy melt. Rotate the stick slowly and slightly tap it to allow the excess candy melt to drip. Do this slowly, you do not want the stick to fall of the cake pop.

10. Right after dipping the cake pop into the melted Candy melts, quickly add your sprinkles. You have to do this quickly as the candy melt hardens really fast. Once it starts to harden, the sprinkle will not hold to the surface.
11. Stick into a stand to allow the sprinkle and candy melt to harden. You can use a stayro foam or a cake pop stand. I just improvised and used what I have in my kitchen.

Here's what to do to make this fun cake pop bouquet. It takes some patience but the steps are actually very easy.
Use your hands to work in the frosting until it starts to come together as a crumbly but mouldable mixture. You might not need it all.
Cake Pop Bouquet For Baby Shower
Roll your cake mixture into 20 equally sized balls. Try to get them as round as possible but don’t squash them too much – you don’t want them to be too dense.
Prepare the melted chocolate in a bowl and dip each cake pop stick in about 5mm, then push it halfway into the cake ball.
Repeat until you’ve pushed all the sticks into an equal depth, then put them all in the fridge to chill for at least an hour, preferably two or more.
Valentine's Cake Pops
Melt the candy melts as directed and get the sprinkles ready in a separate small bowl. Make sure everything is ready before you take the pops out of the fridge so that they stay as cold as possible.
Dip each cake in turn to cover the whole pop, then twist a few times over the bowl to get rid of the drips.
Push each cake pop stick carefully into an upturned colander or box lid so that the pops stand up while they set.

Cake pops are essentially lollipops but made out of cake crumbs that have been mixed with icing or chocolate and rolled into small balls.
If the cake you love has a traditional crumb then the sky's the limit. So whether you enjoy white sponge with a hint of vanilla and lemon or chocolate cake with cherries and freeze-dried strawberry you should be able to make it work as a cake pop. Just make sure you have enough frosting to make the cake crumbs hold together

To decorate use anything from fun sprinkles to chopped nuts and puffed rice. If you want to get more creative you can think of a fun cake pop shape ahead of time and what you need to make it. I've used some waffle cones to make microphone cake pops and it was tons of fun.
I don't have too much experience with using cake mix, but they're generally quite heavy on raising agents, which might make forming them into balls a little more difficult. I find a cake made from scratch will have the perfect density and crumb for a cake pop.
For simple balls cake pops are easy to roll with your hands, but there are all sorts of fun shapes you can bake or press your pops into.
Homemade Cake Pops
The simplest option is to use a large cookie cutter shape and press your cake and frosting mixture into it until it's decently thick. I remembered simple shapes that aren't as likely to fall apart like stars and circles.
The first type of mould is where you spoon the cake mixture into the bottom half of a mould and then put the top on so it bakes into the perfect shape every time (in theory).
The other kind is where press your crumbled mix into a hinged mould - this one is much easier if you're working with little hands!

Yes they can - if you want to freeze the cake pops after dipping then they should keep well for at least a month if stored in an airtight container. To defrost leave in the fridge overnight.
Condensation or 'sweating' happens when the water vapours in the air hit something cold enough to turn them back to a liquid - in this case the outside of your cake pop.
To avoid this from happening store your cake pops in an airtight container in the freezer and don't take them out of the container until
