“Stick It”- Cake Pops
Can I get a round of applause for my GATOR BOYS!!! This weekend, the Florida Gators beat UCLA! I know that I am now a Los Angeles resident and should cheer for what’s now my home team, but I will always be a Gator. So, I decided to share with you a great way to celebrate the sweet victory.
Also, for those of you who frequent Starbucks, have you noticed that they started carrying cake pops? These tasty treats are a great way to get your sweets fix and now you can create them at home!
What You Need:
Vanilla Cake Mix
Blue and Orange Food Coloring
2 Containers of Vanilla Frosting
Lollipop Sticks
1/2 Bag Chocolate Chips
1. Mix cake according to package. Split the batter into two bowls. Dye each bowl, one orange and one blue. Pour the cake batter into separate cake pans and cook according to package directions.
2. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool. Then crumble each cake into separate bowls. Add a half container of icing into each bowl and combine until the cake is moistened (Add more icing if the cake needs to moisten more). Place in fridge to cool and firm up.
3. Then take a little of the orange cake and a little of the blue cake and roll into a 1-2 inch ball. Dip one end of the stick into the frosting and stick into the ball. Place the balls onto a tray covered in wax paper. Once you have rolled all the cake into balls, place tray into the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, microwave the chocolate chips in 30 second intervals until completely melted. Then remove the cake from the freezer. Dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate. Cover about 3/4 of pop with the chocolate then place back on the wax paper. Then place tray in the fridge to cool until ready to serve.
