A Little Piece of Heaven on a Stick

Cake Pops

I think that these are the cutest little favors or just a fun treat! They can be a little tricky at first, but once you get the process down, it's a piece of cake!  You can also make them any color, design, or flavor that you like.  Here's what you need:

1 box cake baked according to directions
Several scoops of creamy frosting
2 lb chocolate dipping wafers (all one color or multiple colors)
Loll-i-pop sticks (about 30)
Styrofoam block

Directions:
Once cooled, crumble cake in a large bowl with your hands.  Add several scoops of frosting and combine until no longer crumbly and you are able to roll balls.  Roll into 1 in balls.  Melt a small amount of chocolate.  Dip sticks into chocolate then poke into balls (not as dirty as it sounds).  Place in freezer for at least 15 min.  Melt a deep container full of chocolate (such as a tall drinking glass).  Dip pops in to cover.  Stick pops into styrofoam block then back in freezer until chocolate hardens.  You can melt more chocolate to create designs on the outside, if desired.

About Little Murph

Liverpool, NY, United States
My love for cooking started when I could barely reach the countertops. My mom would get out all of the baking supplies and let me create. Needless to say, my cooking techniques have become a bit more sophisticated. I believe that I can recreate anything I see in a restaraunt or cookbook. For this reason, my husband has said that I have "ruined eating out for him". I also believe that anyone can cook a delicious meal at home, gourmet kitchen or not. I'm a working woman but I find that after a long day at work, my kitchen is my sanctuary and I'm never too tired to cook up something new. I get bored very easily so trying new things is always a must! I think that cooking has become such an important part of my life because I love making others happy and I'm able to do that through my food. Thank you to all of my family and friends for all of your love and support, especially my husband Shawn, you are the reasons why I cook!
