Week 3: Making the cake pops3/11/2024 After a couple of weeks of planning, organizing, and waiting I finally attempted to make the Starbucks cake pops. Since I had already made these cake pops before I knew what steps and ingredients this recipe included. The ingredients used in the making were popsicle sticks, vanilla cake mix, chocolate melts, and cream cheese.
The first step was I had to make the cake inside the cake balls by baking the cake. I gathered my ingredients to bake the cake including the cake mix, 3 eggs, vegetable oil, and water. I baked the cake for 25 minutes while preheated to 375 degrees. After the cake was baked I cut the sides of my cake so there were no burnt pieces. I then put the cake in a mixing bowl and mixed it in with half cream cheese. It then began to become moist and soft. When it was mixed all together I put the bowl in the fridge to cool for 10 minutes. Once the mixture was put together I made balls from the cake mix. I shaped the balls perfectly with an ice cream scooper to make sure they were all the same size and shape. After I made 20 perfectly shaped cake mix balls I put them in the fridge to form their shape while checking on them every 5 minutes to determine if they were done. After the 20 minutes was up I melted the chocolate for 20-second intervals. When the chocolate was melted I stuck a popsicle stick in the melted chocolate, stuck the stick inside the center of the cake balls, and dipped it into the melted chocolate. After I did the same steps on the rest of the cake pops and put them in the fridge for 10 minutes until hardened. The final step was a taste test. I gave them to my family to try first. In their opinion, my cake pops tasted delicious just like the Starbucks cake pops. In my opinion, they tasted alright but looked nothing like the Starbucks cake pops. I think next time I can improve on a couple of things including not putting too much cream cheese in the cake mix, and melting the chocolate not too long. Other than my mistakes I think my first attempt was a success.

These honestly don't look bad at all when I made cake pops they turned out horribly but yours look amazing and I can't wait to see how they improve!
