Spring Chick Cake Pops

Published: Apr 11, 2014 by admin · This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content

My Mum kindly bought me a cake pop maker for Christmas, which unfortunately remained in it’s box until yesterday. Cake Pops actually fill me with dread, they never look as good as you think they should and make a phenomenal amount of mess, as you can see from our Pumpkin Cake Pops.

However, I may just have found the secret to less mess cake pops even if they still don’t look that great.

1. Having a cake pop machine is much less messy than rolling up bits of cake mashed with chocolate or icing sugar, it also makes the cake pops much lighter and easier to keep on the stick.

2. Colour Melts from Renshaw are AMAZING!! You simply place the tub in the microwave to melt the contents, give it a stir, dip the cake pop and leave to set!

My only complaint is that I still haven’t found a good place to stand them while they dry.

We used Renshaw yellow colour melts to make our chick cake pops. What do you think?

We were sent a lovely pack of colour melts and sprinkles from Renshaw.

    Wow, they are amazing! I attempted cake pops but I wasn’t very successful as I think I made them too big. A cake pop maker definitely sounds like the way to go. I also struggled with finding a place for them to dry, all the recipes I look at said to use polystyrene wrapped in cling film, but we didn’t have any around when I needed it.

    They are great! I also have one of those funny mould things (my usual tactic is the squished up cake & icing trick) but that was just disasterous… I would try that though…

    I’ve heard such great things about Renshaw’s melts. Yours look so neat, I struggled with candy melts to get a nice finish.

    Love your chicks they’re adorable!

    They are so cute! I buy some florist foam and stand it in that. It’s so cheap then I decorate one for best.
