Cake Pop Trial

      A Chocolate Cake Pop Trial......just to try how to make it.....

Here's how to:

      First bake a cake what flavor do you want, for me I choose Chocolate cake that I always baked. Then destroy the cake or crumpled it and add the frosting you like, for me I add frosting that is also a trial.

     Second, after combining the cake and frosting, form a ball with your bear hands, be sure to wash your hands :-)  

     After making a ball, melt a chocolate you desired to dip of..... first, dip half inch of the stick to the melted chocolate then into cake pop. This seems to help the pop stay on the stick better, which helps a lot when you are dipping them in the chocolate.

     Then, dip the cake pop to the melted chocolate then dry it for a minute and sprinkle it.

     Sad to say....the cake pop I made was not good, actually the chocolate I melted was not good, it doesn't melt, so, what I did was putting  two Tablespoon of kind a hot all purpose cream to melt the chocolate, I think my chocolate is old stock that's why not perfectly melted. Then when I dip into a chocolate I made it, slowly dripping of the chocolate from the cake pop and I decided to pull it of the stick.  And that's it! a cake pop without a stick and it can be :-)

In my consolation, even it is not perfect, my daughter and my nieces especially my nephew love it, because it is a CHOCOLATE Forever.....

Wait my second trial of a cake pop and I did not stop till I made it  perfect.

Marshmallow Cake

Marshmallow Frosting

for the design in applying frosting just use spatula and touch the frosting and slowly pull up to make thorn like.

          For my Mother Retirement Birthday...... an eight (8) inches round chocolate cake with my new recipe marshmallow icing, decorated with colorful sprinkle and dark chocolate chip.

          Marshmallow frosting is simple and cheaper, I keep searching for less expenses icing or frosting and easy to do.... and that's it! I found it! :-).

Here's How to:

For the Cake:    any flavor cake what you want it can be, for me I choose Chocolate Cake.

For Frosting:     Marshmallow Frosting

Ingredients:

     2         Large     Egg Whites

     1/2       C          Sugar

     1/4       C          *Corn Syrup

     2          Tbsp.    Water

     1 1/2    tsp.       Pure Vanilla Extract

Procedure:

     Combine frosting ingredients with a pinch of salt in a metal bowl set over a sauce pan of simmering water and beat with handled electric mixer at high speed until frosting is thick and fluffy, 6 to 7 minutes.  Remove bowl from heat and continue to beat until slightly cooled.  Use frosting the day it is made.

*Note: I don't have a corn syrup at home, I'd search for the substitute of it. And the substitute for corn syrup is 1:4 ratio for every 1 cup of sugar 1/4 cup of water, in this recipe we need 1/4 cup corn syrup, so we need 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 Tablespoon of water.

Don't hesitate to experiment in baking, it's exciting and overwhelmed if the output is good.

Happy Baking Always!
