Make Firework Cake Pops with Beech Class

This week Beech class have been making Bonfire Night-themed fireworks cake pops.

The children carefully mixed food colouring to create both primary and secondary colours. They then decorated their cake pops with great care, producing some fantastic firework-inspired designs.

If you would like to make your own Firework Cake Pops here's the recipe:

Ingredients

For the cake balls

• 1 readymade chocolate or vanilla cake

• 50 grams of frosting (vanilla or chocolate depending on the flavour of your cake)

For the coating

• 300 grams of white chocolate

• Assorted food colouring

For decoration

• Assorted colourful sprinkles

• Cake pop sticks

Method

1. Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl

2. Add frosting to the crumbs and mix until the mixture holds together when pressed

3. Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet

4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm

5. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth

6. Mix in 1-2 drops of food coloring to the chocolate, if desired

7. Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert the stick halfway into the cake ball

8. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.

9. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off

10. Before the chocolate sets decorate with sprinkles

11. Let the sprinkle covered chocolate set
