Week 10:Making cake pops5/12/2024 This was my third attempt at making the cake pops. This time I had all the ingredients I needed including the cake mix, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, popsicle sticks, and most importantly pink chocolate melts. The last time at the grocery store I went to they only had white chocolate melts not pink so I thought I would add red food coloring to the white chocolate when I got home. When I got home I looked and there was no red dye so I made them without the pink chocolate.
My second attempt at the cake pops had a better shape. These cake pops had more of a round shape. This time I tried to make them the same size so I used an ice cream scooper to scoop the cake mix and roll them into balls. Using an ice cream scooper would make a difference in shape and size but based on my second attempt it's better to scoop them out by hand. I used the same steps as I did in my second attempt. First I baked the cake. Second, after the cake was baked I poured it right into the stand mixer with some powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Third, when it was all mixed I made the cake balls with the ice cream scooper and placed them in the fridge to cool. Fourth, once all the cake balls were hardened I melted a handful of chocolate and put it in the microwave for 20-second intervals. I stuck the popsicle stick in the melted chocolate and into the cake pops. Fifth. Once the chocolate settled in the cake pops I melted the rest of the chocolate and stuck the cake pops in the chocolate to coat them. The cake pops could have turned out better for how much I have learned every time I have made these and I decided I am going to make them one more time before the 12 weeks are over.
