DIY Cake Pop Kit
Got a baker-in-training at home? Need something to entertain the kids? Want a unique date night experience? Or Girls Night In activity? Make your own cake pops with this DIY Kit! (Please note: this is for a kit ONLY. You will not receive readymade cake pops with this order...you'll have to make your own!) ;)
Each kit includes the following:
*Pre-made "cake dough" to make at least 12 cake pops ("cake dough" is made by mixing a fully-baked cake with frosting to make a pliable compound that can be rolled or sculpted to make cake pops). This cake dough is made with scratch-baked cake & homemade frosting. It's delicious!
*12 lollipop sticks
*12 oz of compound chocolate (candy melts), 6 oz each of 2 colors
*3 types of sprinkles (approximately 2 Tablespoons of standard sprinkles, nonpareils, and sugar crystals, and approximately 1 Tablespoon of candy-shape-sprinkles & designer sprinkle mixes). Choose a theme from those listed, or request your own!
*Reusable 18-hole cake pop stand (as shown in the last 2 photos, with the 4th of July-themed and Tiny Cake cake pops)
*WATCH this video for the step-by-step process of how to use this kit to make your own cake pops.
The following will NOT be included in the kit, but will be necessary for creating cake pops:
*1-2 microwave safe containers for melting the candy melts / chocolate. Here are the small cups I use in the demo video. And I use these silicone measuring cups for melting larger quantities of chocolate.
*Microwave with the option to reduce power (heating level) to 50%
*Refrigerator, to store your "cake dough" before use. Once cake pops are made, they can be stored at room temperature for about 7 days (if made within 48 hours of pick-up).
The following items are recommended, but not necessary:
*A Tablespoon measuring spoon
*Vegetable oil, vegetable shortening, coconut oil, paramount crystals, or Wilton's EZ-Thin for thinning the candy melts (approximately 1-2 tsp per 6 oz of chocolate)
*Small bowls & spoons for holding & sprinkling the sprinkles
*Toothpick or "cookie scribe" for popping air bubbles on the cake pops
*Table knife for tapping extra chocolate off the cake pop
*Food-safe gloves
Choose Yummy Vanilla or Decadent Chocolate for the "cake dough." There is also the option to choose both flavors (for 6 cake pops each).
After picking up your cake pop kit, remove the "cake dough" from the box and store it in the refrigerator (away from strong-smelling foods that might affect the taste of the cake). Remove from the fridge once you are ready to start working with the kit. The cake balls will be easiest to roll/sculpt while the dough is still cool.
Once you have made your cake pops, store them at room temperature, and keep away from sources of heat (direct sunlight, a hot car, next to a stove, etc). Refrigeration is not necessary, but heat will melt the chocolate coating. Shelf life is approximately 7 days.
