These cake pops are a great example of how to make lemonade out of lemons! I started off with the intention to make a double layer banana cake. Well, SOMEHOW, I forgot an ingredient (in retrospect it was a cup of water) and the cakes did not rise properly. I was SO sad. BUT...then I tasted the cake. It was SOOOO good! Because it was a teeny bit dry and because I snacked on it too much...I had to repurpose it! So I decided on cake pops. Check out my journey...
Here are the cakes above. Yes, I nibbled. But so did my Mom.
To the right is me crumbling the cakes into a mixing bowl. You can make cake pops with any type of cake. You just mix the cake with your fingers and a whole can of frosting. Store bought is perfectly ok. Next roll the cake into balls and put them on a sheet pan lined with parchment. Owen was there, of course!
I melted white chocolate. First dip the sticks in the chocolate so that the sticks stay in the cake. And then dip the cake balls in the chocolate. Sadly, one fell off the stick. So I had eat it. You can see I was sad (below).
After you dip them in chocolate evenly, sprinkle your favorite color sprinkles on them and let the dry. I kept mine in the fridge over night until about 1 hour before I served them. But it's fine to leave them out.
Truth is, the chocolate is not easy to deal with. So some of these ended up as cake balls instead of pops. But I definitely feel that I saved the day with these cake pops! But next time, I will read the cake ingredients better ;)
