What happens when you keep breaking the cakes you are attempting to make? You turn them in to cake pops/balls!!!
The process is pretty easy....
You will need:
1 cake mix prepared as directed on the box
1 jar of icing of your liking
2 bags of chocolate chips or white chocolate chips
Colored icing for drizzling OR candies for decorating
Crisco
Bake the cake as directed on the box and let it cool. Crumble the cake into tiny pieces with your hands in a large bowl. With your hands, mix in an entire jar of icing into the crumbs to form a gooey mess. Cover two cookie sheets with wax paper. Roll the cake/icing mixture into 1 inch balls with your hands and then place on the cookie sheet. Cool the balls in the fridge for an hour or over night.
For the coating:
Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips and two teaspoons of Crisco together in the microwave. Drop one chilled cake ball at a time in the chocolate and coat evenly. Spoon it out and place on the wax paper. Add candies right away OR chill and again then add colored icing.
To create "Pops":
BEFORE you coat the cake balls with chocolate, take a lollipop stick and stick it one inch into the melted icing then stick the lollipop stick half way into the cake ball. Now dip the ball on the stick into the icing and stick the lollipop stick into a Styrofoam base to cool. Decorate with candy immediately or let the chocolate dry then add the colored icing.
