They are gorgeous little creations that have very recently become popular. Pop cakes are pretty much balls of cooked cake mix covered with chocolate and decorated usually with sprinkles. The mix is generally vanilla or chocolate flavour but banana and strawberry is gradually becoming more popular. Decorating these yummy treats is probably the most fun of all because there are so many ways you can do so. Pop cakes are firstly covered in melted chocolate or coloured icing and dipped into sprinkles, dried coconut or crushed nuts, most commonly pistachio. Another great way to decorate pop cakes is with royal icing (icing used on wedding cakes). With royal icing you are able to add more detail to the pop cakes to give them an even better finish.
Pop cakes can be presented on paper sticks/straws or in mini cupcake patties, either one looks great!
Some of the most popular pop cake designs are;
- Chocolate dipped and covered in sprinkles, dried coconut or crushed nuts
- Chocolate dipped and drizzled with chocolate
- Coloured chocolate dipped
- Animals eg. bees and sheep
- Characters heads eg. Sesame Street and Angry Birds
