My mother was having a party with the neighborhood ladies and we were in need of some "wow factor". We decided that we needed cakepops to use as the centerpiece in the kitchen.
To make cakepops, first bake a standard sheet cake (My personal favorite is funfetti). Once cooled, crumble up the cake into crumbs. Add 2/3 cup of icing into the cake and mix with your hands until it is a solid dough. Act like its play-dough if you will.
Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out pieces of cake-dough and put on a cookie sheet. Once all the hearts are cut out, put the cookie sheet into the freezer for 15-20 minutes. While the cakepops are freezing, begin melting candy coating in a small crockpot. Take a lollypop stick and dip the tip of the stick in chocolate. Slowly insert the stick into the base of the pop. Allow 30 seconds to pass to let the cake set up. Slowly dip the entire cakepop into the coating.
I dipped the pops in pink candy coating. I then used red, clear, and hot pink sprinkles to add some pizzazz. Lightly sprinkle it while the cake is still drying.
Let the pops stand to dry for about 20 minutes. You can use a block of styrofoam to let the cakepops stand in. Happy caking!
