Cake Pops

People who are fond of sweet snacks probably are aware that the most popular food these days are the cake pops and cupcakes.

Cake pops are defined as cake that has frosting formed into balls and coated with candy, placed on a stick. In order to create this dessert, you would have to prepare a cake mix, frosting, candy melts, colored sprinkles, colored icing tubes, and candy eye balls for aesthetics purposes. The primary thing to do when making cake pops is to bake a cake of the flavor of your choice. Then, you have to add 2 cups of frosting and mix the two together using your hands.

With this mixture, you make small balls of about 3 to 4 tablespoons each. After creating all the pops, youd have to refrigerate them for 1-2 hours or put them in the freezer for half an hour or so. While refrigerating the pops, you can begin melting the candy in the microwave oven. Once the candy is melted, you dip the lollipop stick in it. You then remove the pops from the refrigerator and stick the lollipops two thirds into them. Lastly, you dip the entire cake pop into the melted candy and wait for it to dry. You are now finally done with your cake pop.

Next up are the irresistible cupcakes. Cakes and cupcakes are quite the same considering the fact that cupcakes are just cakes that are small in size, baked inside aluminum containers. You will have to prepare some flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, milk, food colouring and icing sugar in order to make cupcakes. Additionally, you should get sprinkles, balls, petals and other things that can be used as decor.

First off when making cupcakes is preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you get a bowl and mix altogether some flour, baking powder, cocoa and sugar. Pick up one more bowl and in there put the eggs, milk and oil altogether. Put together the contents of the two bowls. Cake pops and cupcakes are some of the easiest desserts to create.

Once you're done mixing, you pour the mixture into the muffin liners in the pan through the use of a spoon, with about one third of the paper as allowance for the rising of the cupcakes. Then, you place the pan into the oven for a period of ten minutes. Once the ten minutes is up, you can utilize a tooth pick to check if the cupcakes are really cooked. If they already indicate being cooked, you now remove the tray from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool for one hour. You can now spend time decorating the cakes with sugar paste, icing and sprinkles. At last, you have baked really cool cupcakes that can be featured in a cake blog.
