How To Make A Cake Pop Flower Bouquet

Spring is in the air here in the UK, so we decided to celebrate the blooming flowers by making a cake pop bouquet!

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.

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.

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.

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 they have warmed up, which will expose the cake pops to less temperature variation and water vapour.

Colour melts are a type of candy coating that is easier to work with and is generally more stable and gives a uniform finish.

Make sure that the diameter of your cake pops are a good ratio for the size of the stick you're using. Usually, the trouble is a big cake pop on a little stick where the weight of the cake pop means it breaks away from the stick.

A small cake pop and a big stick will cause the balls to simply flatten out and crack rather then pierce the cake pop.

If you didn't roll the cake pops tightly enough this can also be a problem. You don't want to press so hard it's no longer a sponge cake but you should make sure they feel solid in your hand.

If you didn't use enough frosting to bind your cake pops this can cause them to fall apart and they're too loosely bound.

If your cake pop balls are fridge-cold and dipped into the hot liquid coating this can cause your cake pops to crack. Getting the cake pop balls down to room temperature first is important, so it's best to aim for a finished cake pop as soon as your bake has cooled down to room temperature.

If the cake pop balls are too cold it will set the chocolate before you have time to drip the excess off, so make sure your cake pop balls are a little closer to room temperature before you begin dipping.

If you mixed the chocolate or melts too much then they will take on a lot of air bubbles which can get transferred to the surface of your cake pop, so try to mix with a light hand.

Whether using a microwave or stove to melt your candy, be careful not to overheat the mixture - if the sugar in the candy gets too hot it will burn, and even a little can dramatically change the consistency and taste.

The best way of avoiding this is to pay careful attention while cooking and remember that as the mix will contain a lot of heat, so you don't need to keep heating until all the buttons are melted. Instead, turn off the heat and then keep gently stirring until all the lumps are gone.

Some candy melts can be very thick even when fully melted, making them hard to use to coat your cake pops. If you've excluded the above issues, then try stirring in a little Trex or Crisco vegetable fat, a little bit at a time, until you have a thinner, more workable coating.

This cake pop bouquet is easy to make and a fun way to get the kids involved in baking. They're fabulous to share at a celebration, give as a gift, or enjoy at a family picnic.
