Oh dear.

I tried cake pops.





I failed... miserably!!

Here's a picture of my creations -

They either fell apart off the stick or slid down the stick

So much for my toffee apple pops...

my tips would be
add a bit more buttercream
put rolled out balls in the fridge for half an hour before coating them
dip your lolly stick in the melted stuff before putting it in the ball
have your melted stuff a bit more melty to get better coverage

If you did all that already then I am no help at all

 

[Emmy1987]

I did all but the extra buttercream and fridge part! The covering went horrible because there was bits of cake in it lmao!

Sponge is tasty mind apple and cinnamon om nom

The cakes look fab everyone x I love the rupunzel tower one x
I went to the cupcake class last night & had a great time x I was told I should have gone to the beginners class so think I will do that as I do agree with thim x
We learnt how to use, embossers, lustre spray, colours & sugar flower paste - everything I had heard of but didnt have a clue how to use so never bought x It was great to meet other cupcakers & get different tips for things x I cant wait to do the beginners one & the xmas themed one x

Heres what I made x

I love my embossers I have a bit of a craze only hate lustre spray I prefer dust. I've never seen classes around here I should improve TONS and start some

Reedy they look lovely
0203 they are cool

 

[0203]

[Blob]

[0203]

I had some to do this weekend but got them done and sent them out quick cos my nephew was here and he was only 3 weeks old lol. I was on babysitting duties, it was so cool makes me miss my girls being that small..

The cake pops are hard, they should be either put in the fridge or freezer for half and hour because if they are soft you wont get a good coating.
Try putting a little oil into your chocolate to make it a little loose, if your using a Wilton chocolate I found this way to thick and I couldnt dip the balls properly. Also, when you dip the stick the coldness from the ball will solidify it so it will stick to the ball..

Hope you try again and get a good result

Well I made some Halloween cuppies earlier, frosted half of them:

The others I'll do tomorrow, it's been a long day today

I used some Asda Halloween cases and pick things but the cases are awful they've peeled away from the cakes

 

[FirstBean]

Great cupcakes.

 

[Emmy1987]

Finished decorating the other cuppies this morning
