Patriotic Pops from Bee in Our Bonnet
But...
Those seemed a little too advanced for my cake popping skills. Since I've never made them before, I decided to go for something a bit more simple, and I found these.
4th of July cake pops from Rumbly in My Tumbly
So I decided to give it a try. They are pretty easy to make, and I used this wonderful tutorial from Beach Bum & Baby.
I didn't have a styrofoam block to set them up in, so I just let them dry upside down. Here's how mine turned out!
Overall, they turned out pretty good!
I did have some trouble with them starting to fall off of the stick while I was dipping them in the white chocolate, so I only dipped about half of each one.
Anyone have any tips on how they will stay on the stick better?
I also need some practice on my "sprinkling" as you can see I didn't spread them out very evenly!
My fun patriotic sprinkles I got.
The final product! I added some ribbon to fancy them up!
If you have any other tips or secrets, please share! I would love to try these again for another holiday and do better the next time!
Pretty and fancy :) I want some nom nom
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Love the extra touch with the ribbon. I bet they were delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have never attempted to make cake balls yet but it is something i want to try! I love though that you wrapped them and put a ribbon around! They look so good!
ReplyDeleteI have never made cake balls. I always hear they are hard to make(which is why I haven't even attempted yet) but I love yours. They are so cute and look so good.
