Tips for Making Cake Pops

Making cake pops is an easy, fun project you can do with the whole family, or if you’re a less seasoned baker, it’s a good starting point to ease into baking. There’s not a lot that can go wrong with this recipe, since the imperfection is part of the fun of it, but you do want to take into account how many people you’re baking for. If you’re making a lot of these cake pops, break the process into smaller batches. This way, the cake balls don’t warm up too much, and you can keep everything manageable as you bake. When you’re putting together the snowmen shape, don’t hesitate to get creative, but make sure the white chocolate is set, so the shape doesn’t fall apart. When you’re ready to, gently insert the skewers into the center of each cake ball, but don’t push it all the way through. If it’s too close to the bottom, it might weaken the ball and cause it to break.

Melted Snowmen Cake Pops


  • Author: Anna Franklin

Description

Adorable cake pops for the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 containers store-bought frosted sugar cookies
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 lb white chocolate melting wafers
  • Black and orange store-bought decorating icing, as needed
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. n a stand mixer, blend cookies with a paddle attachment until they are crushed and resemble breadcrumbs.
  2. Add heavy cream and mix until a soft dough forms. This should resemble the texture of normal cookie dough and should easily roll into a ball.
  3. Form small- and medium-sized balls and set in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  4. While the cake balls are chilling, melt white chocolate wafers over a double boiler.
  5. Stick each cake pop with a skewer, dip each piece into the white chocolate to cover it, then place on a piece of parchment or wax paper.
  6. Top each cake pop with a smaller chocolate-covered ball to build a “snowman.” It’s okay if they aren’t perfect, that’s the goal!
  7. Once the white chocolate has set and you are able to handle them, use the colored decorating icing to draw faces on each snowman.
  8. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and place in a Ziplock bag. Cut a tiny hole in the corner of the bag to use as a piping bag. Make little snowmen arms on a piece of wax paper and let harden.
  9. Place arms alongside the “melted” snowmen and enjoy!
