Cheesecake Cake Pops
We’ve decided to experiment and make chocolate cake pops with cheesecake center.
1. Preheat oven to 350. You can bake the cheesecake and the chocolate cake at the same time.
2. For a cheesecake (you can also purchase one at the store):a. Mix sugar with softened cream cheese (to soften a cream cheese just put it in a microwave for a minute).b. Mix in milk, then eggs (one at a time), then add sour cream, vanilla extract and flour; blend until smooth.c. Bake in an oven for an hour. Chill in a refrigerator
3. For a chocolate cake:a. Pour boiling water over cocoa and blend until smoothb. Mix in a separate bowl flour, baking soda, baking powder and saltc. Mix butter and sugar in a bowl; blend in eggs (one at a time), vanilla extract; add the flour blend with a cocoa mixtured. Bake for 30-35 minutes
4. Once the cheesacake is chilled, make small (1/2 inch diameter) balls5. Crumble the chocolate cake and pour the condensed milk in a bowl, mix it6. Separate chocolate cake mixture into even parts. Make a flat rounds, place a cheesecake ball in the middle and wrap the chocolate cake around it and roll them into cake balls.7. Dip a stick into condensed milk, put it inside the cake pop8. Place into refrigerator to chill for 30 min9. Melt chocolate and dip cake pops in it. Put back into refrigerator for 15-30 min
Your cake pops are now ready!
Ingredients
For cheesecake: 4 packages (8 ounce) cream cheese 3/4 cups white sugar 1/4 cup of milk 2 eggs 1/2 cup sour cream 1/4 cup of flour
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract For chocolate cake: 1/2 cup of cocoa powder 1 cup of boiling water 1.5 cups of flour 1/4 salt 1 teaspoon of baking soda 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder 1/3 cup of butter (softened) 1 cup of sugar 1/2 can of condensed milk 2 semi-sweet (or any other kind)Ghirardelli chocolate baking bars 2 eggs
PUMPKIN CAKE POPS
Yield:
6 dozen pops
Ingredients
Cake:
Unflavored nonstick cooking spray 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 2 large eggs 3/4 cup dark brown sugar 1/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup nonfat milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 cup canned pumpkin puree 1 cup pecan halves, for decorating
Frosting:
8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature 1 pound confectioners' sugar 1 1/2 pounds finely chopped white chocolate (or two 11-ounce bags white
chocolate chips) 1/4 cup vegetable shortening
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
For the cake: Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice together in a large bowl and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and sugars together. Stir in the milk and vanilla, and then add the oil. Whisk in the pumpkin puree and pour the liquid mixture over the dry mixture. Use a wooden spoon to stir the batter together, and then switch to a whisk and give the batter a good 3 or 4 beats before pouring it into the prepared baking dish. Use a rubber spatula to smooth out the batter and place it in the oven until the cake is golden and springs back to light pressure, 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely.
Meanwhile, place the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and toast them until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a large plate to cool, then transfer to a cutting board and finely chop. Place the nuts in a medium bowl and set aside.
Divide the cake into quarters and crumble it into a large bowl. Once all of the cake is crumbled, drag 2 forks through the cake in opposite directions to crumble it into a very fine crumb (you can also use a food processor to pulse the cake into fine crumbs). Set aside.
For the frosting: Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper and set aside. Using a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cream cheese and butter together on medium speed until airy, about 3 minutes. Add the confectioners' sugar and beat until combined. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stir the cream cheese frosting into the cake crumbs and, once the mixture looks like wet graham crackers crumbs, roll it into ping pong-size balls. Place the cake balls on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 1 hour.
Place the chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl and melt at 50-percent power, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted, 2 to 2 1/2
minutes (or melt the chocolate over a double boiler, stirring often, until the chocolate is melted).
Remove the cake balls from the freezer and insert a lollypop stick or small appetizer-length skewer into the top of each one (stick it in far enough so it is more than halfway through but doesn't puncture the other side of the ball). Dip each ball into the white chocolate, using a spoon to help coat the underside. Tap the stick against the side of the bowl a few times and swirl the stick to encourage the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Dip the top of the ball into the nuts, and then place the cake pop back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet, nut-side down (so the stick points straight up). Repeat with the remaining cake balls. Let the cake pops stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Serve that day or refrigerate for up to 3 days and then serve.
Cake balls, cake pops, cakesicles — have you tried them? They swept the internet like a tidal wave over the last few years, thanks in part to the delightful and amazing creations of Bakerella and other creative cooks. We finally decided to try them, and while ours don't achieve the heights of more talented confectionery artists, they tasted pretty darn good!
Cake pops are basically little smushed balls of cake and frosting (kind of like when you used to smash your birthday cake all in pieces, maybe with ice cream, and eat it as goop). You bake up a cake, let it cool, tear it into fine crumbs, stir in something to hold it all together, and roll it in balls. Easy!
They're terribly cute, and they're also a great way to use up leftover cake. I had quite a bit of leftover cake and frosting from my recent foray into LEGO cake building, so cake balls seemed a natural way to use them all up.
These are incredibly delicious, over the top little morsels. The chocolate shell gives way with a little snap to a moist and soft inside, like a brownie that melts in your mouth. They're not as rich as chocolate truffles, but they are still quite sweet. Special occasion treats only, but oh how people love them!
Here's how to do it yourself, and do it from scratch, too. Most recipes call for a boxed cake mix and canned frosting, but why not go with homemade, as long as you're going to all the trouble of making cute little balls already?
Cake Ball Mix
What you need1 batch Dark Chocolate Cake8 ounces cream cheese, softened2 cups confectioner's sugar4 tablespoons butter1 tablespoon milk (or more, as necessary)
Bake the cake and let it cool completely on a rack. This is a very moist cake, which is ideal for this recipe. It's best to let it cool overnight at least. When it is completely cool, break the cake into a large bowl. Crumble it with forks or your fingers until it is in fine crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whip the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and milk together until smooth. Pour into the cake crumbs and mix with a spoon. Then continue mixing with your fingers, kneading and mixing until fully incorporated into the cake. Check to see if it will roll into a ball. It should: this makes a very malleable, easy-to-handle cake mixture. But if it needs a little extra moisture, add milk a spoonful at a time.
When the mix is completely done, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm. You can leave the mix refrigerated for several days at this point. I left mine in the fridge for about three days before making the balls. You could probably also freeze this.
Making Cake Pops
What you needLollipop sticks (found at Michael's, JoAnn's, or other craft stores) 12 ounces chocolate chips12 ounces white chocolate bark Edible wax, optionalColored sugars, candies, and other decorative sprinkles
How to make the ballsPrepare two large baking sheets by covering with wax paper or parchment. Take a bit of the cake mixture and roll it into a smooth ball. If you want to use the lollipop sticks, stick one into the end of each ball, pointing upward, as you put the ball back down on the sheet. [Note: I cut the long lollipop sticks in half; they seemed a little long for the size of the balls.] Repeat until you've used up all the mixture. As each sheet fills up, put it in the freezer so that the balls harden.
How to decorate the cake popsMelt chocolate or white chocolate in a double boiler on the stove. If you want to make the
coating a little more resistant to melting, add a small square of wax to the pot and let it melt too. Stir well. Dip each ball into the chocolate until covered.
Dip in sugar, coconut, sprinkles, or anything else you'd like to decorate with. Put it back on the sheet to harden.
Don't refrigerate these; it will cause the coating to weep or melt. They can be frozen, however.
Cheesecake Pops
Cheesecake Pops are delicious balls of real cheesecake, covered in bright candy coating and served on a lollipop stick. You can use any flavor of baked cheesecake you like, and can substitute white or milk chocolate for the dark chocolate coating. These cheesecake pops can be playful or elegant, but they’re always delicious.
This recipe calls for a small (8-inch) cheesecake. You can use a cheesecake from the store (often found in the freezer section) or make one from scratch, but make sure it's a baked cheesecake, as most no-
bake cheesecake recipes produce a cheesecake too soft in texture to hold up in these pops.
Ingredients:
8-inch cheesecake, chilled and very firm 1 lb chocolate candy coating sprinkles, small candies or chopped nuts (to decorate) Lollipop sticks
Preparation:
1. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with aluminum foil or parchment. Using a small cookie scoop, scoop spoonfuls of the cheesecake onto one of the baking sheets, setting the other aside for now. If necessary, wet your hands and roll the cheesecake balls between your palms to make them fairly round.
2. Insert the lollipop sticks into the cheesecake balls. If they're too soft, freeze them for about 20 minutes until they're firm enough to skewer effectively. Place the baking tray in the freezer to freeze the balls until they are very firm, at least 2 hours.
3. Microwave the candy coating until completely smooth and melted, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating. Add some shortening if necessary to produce a liquid coating that flows freely from a spoon. Set out your sprinkles or other desired toppings.
4. Remove the cheesecake pops from the freezer. Working quickly, dip a frozen cheesecake ball into the melted candy coating, making sure that all of the cheesecake is covered and that the chocolate forms a seal around the stick. With the coating still wet, roll it in the toppings of your choice or sprinkle them on. Place the completed cheesecake pop on the reserved baking sheet with clean parchment.
5. Repeat with remaining cheesecake pops and candy coating. If the coating starts to set, return it to the microwave in brief intervals until it is once again liquid and smooth.
6. Store Cheesecake Pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. (Note that the pops will retain their great flavor and texture, but moisture might condense on them and cause the colors of the coating or sprinkles to bleed. Therefore, if their appearance is very important, it is best to make these within 24 hours of when you plan to serve them.)
Buttercream de nesquik de fresa
200 gr. Azúcar glas
30 gr. Nesquik de fresa
50 gr. Sirope de fresa
125 gr. Mantequilla s/sal a temperatura ambiente
1. Cortar la mantequilla a trozos, añade la mitad de la porción de azúcar glas, previamente tamizado.
2. Al principio mézclalo todo con ayuda de una cuchara, y después utiliza unas varillas eléctricas. Después utiliza la batidora.
3. Añade poco a poco el resto de azúcar glas, el nesquik y el sirope de fresa sin dejar de batir.
Frosting de Queso CremaAl momento de decidir hacer decoraciones y rellenos de tortas, cupcakes y popcakes nos encontramos con diferentes tipos de ""frosting", que en el fondo son cremas que preparamos, que tienen la particularidad que son dulces y que al momento de prepararlas las podemos teñir y dar diferentes formas con las mangas pasteleras y boquillas.
Su uso es bastante recomendado ya que permiten presentar mucho mejor un producto, desde hacer rosas con boquillas,hojas, hacer pasto, decoraciones varias, etc. Tiene un secado moderado, diferente al glasé real que conforme pasa tiempo atemperatura ambiente se va poniendo duro. Los frosting en cambio conservan su suavidad y presentan una delicada textura.
Las desventajas es que si hacemos una decoración que ocupe demasiada ""buttercream" u otros frosting, estaremos haciendo un pastelito con muchas calorías, la gran mayoría de los frosting llevan en el fondo mantequilla, algunos queso crema, esencias, azúcar flor, entre otros. Entonces la recomendación es que si consumimos estos frosting en nuestros productos sea con moderación Una vez que hacemos este frostinghay que tener ojo con su duración si lo guardamos en el refrigerador para usarlo otro día.
La receta que revisaremos ahora tiene un muy buen sabor, según me han dicho quienes la han probado no es tan empalagosa, ni tan pesada y tiene un sabor muy agradable al paladar. Yo la recomiendo bastante para decorar.
Cream Cheese Frosting
6 cucharadas de mantequilla a tempertura ambiente (85 gramos) 170 Gramos de Queso Crema (usamos uno 1/3 menos de grasa) 1 cucharadita de vainilla 3 tazas de azúcar flor (375 gramos)
Observación: La cantidad que sale es bastante, si queremos decorar muchos cupcakes o popcakes combiene reducir a la mitad o 1/3 de receta).
Preparación
1. Cremar la mantequilla y el queso crema (con batidora o manualmente)
2. Añadir la esencia de vainilla e integrar3. Añadir el azúcar flor cernida de a poco hasta obtener una mezcla
integrada.4. Reservar ( puede taparse con un film plástico)
Paso a paso
Y listo! Este frosting es el que utilizaremos en la elaboración de cake pops.
Cake pops – how to make cake pops
Welcome to How to Cake Pop. If you are new to cake pops, or have been asking “how do you make cake pops?”, then How to Cake Pop is here to help. Follow our easy 10 step guide to making the perfect cake pop to get cake pop perfection.
We’re going to start with what we call the “classic” cake pop – basically, hand rolled cake balls dipped in a candy coating, which you can then decorate to your heart’s content.
There are lots of different ways to make cake pops, and once you have got the hang of classic cake pops, you can try other ways of cake popping. However, if you are a cake pop newbie, we’d suggest that you start with the “classic” cake pop recipe below.
OK, here’s what you will need:
Ingredients
1 batch of cake. 8 oz cream cheese or ready made frosting. 1 small packet of candy melts or dipping chocolate. A small jug of milk Some small decorative items: for example, sprinkles, M&Ms, marshmallows.
Equipment
A large mixing bowl Lollipop sticks Microwavable bowl Tooth picks or skewers A scooper (for example, an ice cream scoop or a cake ball scoop) Wax paper 2 baking trays Styrofoam (polystyrene) block Plastic film
TIP: You do not need to go to a special cake pops supplies shop to get cake pop making ingredients or equipment: all of these things are easily available in local shops or online.
OK, let’s get started
STEP #1 THE CAKE
You’ll need to make a batch of cake, either using a shop-bought cake mix, or baking it from scratch. Once the cake is baked, let it cool.
STEP #2 CRUMBING THE CAKE
Once the cake has cooled, you need to crumb it – in other words, tear the cake up until you have lots of small crumb sized pieces. Some people like to do this by hand, starting with a fork to break up the cake. . However, you can use a mixer or food processor. What you are aiming to get is a bowl of fairly fine cake crumbs – you’ll see why when you start rolling the cake into balls.
STEP #3 THE FROSTING
You need to prepare your frosting. There are two main options here;
You can buy ready-made frosting: the most widely used is Betty Crocker frosting. You can make your own frosting, using cream cheese. As you will see in our recipe
section, you can mix the cream cheese by adding other things –such as cocoa powder – but, for now, let’s stick with cream cheese on its own. Take the cream cheese, and whip in a spoon of milk, to make the mix smoother.
STEP #4 MAKING THE CAKE BALL MIX
OK, so now you have the crumbed cake and the frosting. The next step is to mix them together, until you have a dough that can be molded (without being too gooey). You can use a mixer with a dough hook to make the cake ball mix. However, some people like to make their cake ball mix by hand.The idea is to get the frosting and cake really well mixed together, so that it is easy to roll into balls.
TIP: When you mix it with the cake, don’t put all of your frosting in at once. Start with a little, mix it in, and then add more and mix, and keep on going until you have the right consistency.
Put the frosting and cake mix in the refrigerator for about two hours. If you want, you can leave it longer: this helps to firm it up.
STEP #6 ROLL THOSE BALLS!
Once the mix is cooled, you can roll it out into cake balls. You’ll need a rolling area.
Set out some wax paper on a baking tray. This will be your rolling area.
Put some of the cake ball mix in a round scoop. You can buy scoops designed for scooping cake dough, but lots of people manage with a different kind of scoop – such as an ice cream scoop or even a meat baller (provided that you haven’t just be using it to make meat balls!). If you have a choice, we recommend silicon scoops: the mixture doesn’t stick to the scoop so much.
Once you’ve put a scoop of the mix on the rolling area, use your hands to roll it out into a fairly evenly shaped ball. If you find it easier, you can use a lollipop stick as a rolling aid: in other words, when the ball is fairly well formed, you can put a stick in it, and then use the stick to roll the ball to-and-fro to smooth it.
The size of the balls is up to you, but a widely used size for a classic cake pop is about 11/2 inches (40mm). This is just a shade smaller than a golf ball.
We think that if the ball is too small, it doesn’t look quite an inviting to eat. However, you may want to note that when Starbucks started making cake pops, they dropped the size of the cake ball slightly, to help it stay on the stick in one piece.
Once you have rolled the first cake ball, roll another, and so on …. until you have a batch of neatly rolled balls on another sheet of wax paper on a baking tray.
STEP #7 COOL YOUR CAKE BALLS
Once you have rolled out your cake balls, it’s a good idea to put them in refrigerator again. If you are in a hurry, they still need a minimum of half an hour in the refrigerator, but leave them for longer if you can.
STEP #8 COAT YOUR BALLS TO MAKE CAKE POPS
Once your balls have got cool, you are ready to coat them, using candy melts.
Not everybody is keen on the taste of candy melts, and there are other things that you can use to coat your cake pops. However, to start with we’d suggest using candy melts, just to get used to the technique of dipping balls and making a neat coating.
Put some candy melts in a microwave-proof bowl and heat them until they are melted. You’ll need enough depth in the bowl to allow you to dip the whole of the cake pop: a depth of between 3 and 4 inches of candy melt should allow you to do this.
Whilst the candy melts are in the microwave, get a tooth pick or small skewer, and place a small pilot hole in each cake ball. This will help to guide the lollipop stick.
When the candy melts are ready, take a small batch of cake balls out the refrigerator (leave the rest in to keep them cool). Take a lollipop stick and dip it in the warm candy melts. Don’t miss out this step: it really will help the cake ball to stay on the stick. Then put the “sticky” end of the lollipop stick into the cake ball, gently but firmly.
You now have a cake ball that is ready to dip. Holding the lollipop stick, dip the cake ball in the candy melts. Rotate the lollipop stick to try to get an even covering. Once you feel that the cake ball is covered, take it out of the bowl.
KEEP THE CAKE POP FACING DOWNWARDS, so that the candy melt doesn’t run down the stick. You can tap the lollipop stick lightly on the side of the bowl, to try to knock off any excess. You can also use a knife or spoon to clean the lollipop stick itself.
Let’s be honest here – this is the bit that can tricky and frustrating (although it can also be great fun, especially if you are doing with kids and other family members). The trick is to relax and enjoy it, and realise that, over time, it becomes easier.
STEP #9 DECORATE YOUR CAKE POP
This the point when you can add some simple decorations – such as sprinkles, M&Ms, crushed nuts or small mallow pieces. At its simplest, there are two basic decorating techniques;
Rolling Some decorations (such as sprinkles) can be applied by simply rolling the cake pop in them, whilst the candy melt coating it still soft;
Applying Other decorations – such as M&Ms – can be applied by hand to the surface of the cake pop. Use a little dab of soft candy melts as a kind of “glue”.
Of course, the point of cake pops is that they can be decorated in all sorts of elaborate ways – you’ll find other cake pop decorating ideas on this site. However, for now, if you are a cake pop newbie, why not stick to just using some simple decoration – you can move on to advanced cake popping later!
STEP #10 LEAVE THE CAKE POPS TO HARDEN
Once the cake pop is coated and decorated, it needs to sit somewhere whilst the coating hardens. One easy way is to push the bottom of each lollipop stick into a Styrofoam/polystyrene block, which you’ve covered with plastic.
TIP: Some people suggest putting the cake pops back on to the wax paper, but this will give them flat heads.It’s true that some cake pop designs require “flat heads”, but for most cake pops you will want to keep them nice and ball shaped, so this is why we leave them to harden with the stick facing downwards in the styrofoam .
EXTRA TIP: Don’t be tempted to put your cake pops in the refrigerator at this stage: it just causes condensation.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have finished your first cake batch of pops. Now you can go on to experiment – you can make celebration cake pops (wedding cake pops, bride and groom cake pops, bridal cake pops, baby shower cake pops) special holiday cake pops (such as Christmas cake pops), sports cake pops (soccer cake pops, football cake pops, baseball cake pops) glitter cake pops, cake pops in funny and cute shapes (cat cake pops, cupcake cake pops), cake pops that look like characters in children’s’ books (whinnie the pooh cake pops, Spiderman cake pops, Minnie mouse cake pops) and interesting flavour cake pops (red velvet cake pops, peppermint cake pops, special chocolate cake pops, Oreo cake pops). As they say, the only limit is your imagination!

Cake Pops! Paso a paso
Buenas tardes amig@s, qué mejor manera de alegrar este lunes que con estos ricos cakepops. Para los que no los conozcáis, estos “bizcochitos-chupachup”, han sido popularizados por la famosa bloguera bakerella, ella es toda una experta en estos pequeños dulces e incluso ha estado en el programa de Marta Stewart para explicar cómo se hacen. Desafortunadamente, hoy he visto en su blog que está un poquito malita y por ello, me gustaría enviarle toda mi energía positiva y dedicarle este entrada.
No me digáis que no son monísimos, yo pensé lo mismo cuando vi que mi hermana Marina (fotógrafa a veces de dulceshoras) los hizo para llevar de postre a una cena. Por ello, después de un par de días y un estudio para profundizar en la técnica de preparación convencí a mi hermanita para pasar la tarde del sábado haciendo estas delicias. Y así lo hicimos, la verdad es que son bastante trabajosos de hacer aunque el resultado, tanto por su sabor como por su aspecto compensa con creces el esfuerzo realizado.
Si exploráis un poquito en la web de bakerella veréis que se pueden hacer cakepops de formas y sabores muy variados, personalmente me enamoré de unos en forma de cupcake que serán los próximos que veréis por aquí ;)
¿os animáis a hacerlos? aquí tenéis la receta adaptada por dulceshoras, un pequeño paso a paso y el video de bakerella con el que aprendí muchísimo. La base de estos cakepops es una pasta de bizcocho desmigado y frosting, bakerella en el video utiliza uno de queso, yo he preferido utilizar una buttercream de chocolate de la famosa pastelería de New York Billy.
INGREDIENTES:
Un bizcocho de aproximadamente 800 grs (puede ser de vainilla, chocolate, naranja, culquiera que queda un poco sequito y se desmigue bien)
Unos palillos de madera largos (tipo pinchito)
Billy’s Chocolate Buttercream:
100 grs de mantequilla a temperatura ambiente 180 grs de chocolate fundido 25 ml de leche entera 5 ml (1 cucharilla) de esencia de vainilla 340 grs de azúcar glass
Cobertura:
200 gr Chocolate de cobertura 3 cucharadas soperas de leche (esta cantidad depende del tipo de
chocolate, añadiremos leche hasta aligerar la cobertura, en el video podéis ver cómo es)
sprinkles (dulces para decorar)
PREPARACIÓN:
Desmigaremos el bizcocho de manera que quede como en la foto 1. A continuación preparemos nuestro frosting, mezclaremos todos los ingredientes y batiremos con las varillas durante al menos 2 minutos o hasta que quede la textura como en la foto 2. Añadiremos el frosting al bol con las migas de bizcocho y amasaremos, primero con una cuchara de madera y luego con las manos. Debe quedar una masa manejable y un poco húmeda, ver foto 3. Antes del siguiente paso, pondremos papel de horno sobre un bandeja. Seguidamente cogeremos un pellizco de pasta y formaremos un bola con la mano, aquí os puede ayudar ver el video. Colocaremos nuestra bola sobre el papel que habíamos preparado. Procederemos a hacer lo mismo hasta terminar la pasta. Al finalizar, meter la bandeja en el congeldor durante 15 minutos (o hasta que se endurezcan las bolitas)
Mientras las bolitas están en el congelador fundiremos el chocolte en el microondas o al baño María, retiraremos del fuego cuando esté listo e iremos añadiendo leche, primero una cucharada, batiremos, luego otra, batiremos otra vez, veréis que al principio queda un masa bastante espesa y nada ligada, no os preocupéis, añadir otra cucharada de leche, removed, hasta que os quede una textura más ligera. A continuación viene la diversión. Comenzaremos cogiendo un palillo de madera, lo pincharemos por el lado que no tiene pincho atravesando el centro de una bolita con cuidado de no traspasar la bolita por completo. A continuación, cogeremos el palillo por la punta y sumergiremos la bolita en el chocolate, cubriendo toda la superficie. Finalmente añadiremos las perlitas/sprinkles por encima y pincharemos en el corto o cartón que hayamos preparado.
Creo que lo que más os ayudará será algún video como el siguiente que os dejo, o por lo menos, fue lo que más me ayudó a mi:

Así que ya sabes, si no eres un experto en repostería y quieres sorprender, hazte con palitos de pinchito de los más gruesos y ponte manos a la obra.
INGREDIENTES:
* 1 Paquete de Galletas María* 150 grs Queso Blanco de Untar* 120 grs de Mermelada de Fresa* 2 Tabletas de Chocolate Blanco* Fideos de Colores (para decorar)
PARA PINCHARLOS* Palitos para Cake Pops (o de pinchitos)
PASO 1: Triturar las galletas
En primer lugar trocearemos las galletas y las trituraremos, bien con una batidora, con una picadora, o si no tienes siempre puedes triturarlas a mano con la ayuda de un mortero; el caso es que tiene que quedar lo suficientemente deshecha que nos quede una textura similar al pan rallado, sin nigún trozo.
PASO 2: Hacer la mezcla
Una vez estén las galletas bien trituradas añadiremos el
queso blanco (un poco más de media tarrina) y la
mermelada (unas 4 cucharadas soperas aproximadamente) y
mezclaremos todo bien con las manos, hasta llegar a
conseguir una masa homogénea, compacta y manejable.
A TENER EN CUENTA: Si después de mezclar bien ves que
la masa no liga lo suficiente, añade un poco más de
mermelada o de queso para humedecer la mezcla y conseguir
la textura deseada.
PASO 3: Hacer las Bolitas
A continuación nos dispondremos a hacer las bolitas con la masa que hemos preparado.
Procura no hacerlas muy grandes, lo ideal es hacerlas de 2,5 a 3 cm de diámetro, para que no lleguen a pesar demasiado y se sostengan bien sobre el palito.
PASO 4: Clavar los palitos en las bolitas
Ahora es el turno de clavar los palitos en las bolitas. Para ello utilizaremos 1/4 de una de las tabletas de chocolate, para usarlo a modo de pegamento, y seguiremos los siguientes pasos:
Fundiremos el chocolate al baño María.
Mojaremos la parte sin punta del palito en el chocolate y lo introduciremos con cuidado en la parte central de la bolita.
Dejaremos reposar en un plato, con el palito hacia arriba, y las meteremos en el frigorífico entre una y dos horas, para que el palito quede bien fijado.
PASO 5: Presentación
Cuando haya pasado el tiempo de reposo nos tocará presentar los cake pops que ya tenemos hechos. Para ello tenemos 2 opciones:
OPCIÓN 1: Dejarlos como están y presentarlos con mermelada de fresa en un bol a parte, para mojar.
OPCIÓN 2: Cubrirlos con chocolate blanco y añadir complementos al gusto. Si decides decorarlos sigue entonces el siguiente paso.
PASO 6: Decoración
Este paso es el que le dará ese toque vistoso a la receta.
En primer lugar calentaremos el resto de chocolate blanco al baño María, para fundirlo y usarlo como cobertura.
Cuando el chocolate esté bien fundido, sumergiremos en él las bolitas, una a una con la ayuda del palito que ha debido de quedar bien clavado, hasta que queden completamente cubiertas. Dejaremos escurrir bien el chocolate sobre el mismo recipiente, para evitar manchar el palito cuando los pinchemos para dejarlos reposar.
Con el chocolate aún caliente decoraremos al gusto con fideos o bolitas de colores.
Por último utilizaremos un corcho, o si no puedes disponer de él, de un vaso lleno de azúcar, y pincharemos en él las bolitas que vayamos decorando para que el chocolate se solidifique.
Cuando tengamos todos los cake pops cubiertos y decorados los meteremos en la nevera y dejaremos reposar al menos una hora antes de comer.
A TENER EN CUENTA: Decorándolos de esta forma obtendremos un sabor distinto, ya que el sabor del chocolate blanco destacará frente al sabor base de la receta.
¡Esperamos que os salgan bien y, sobre todo, que os gusten!

How to make Toffee Cake Pops
Click on the text to highlight the different stages as you go along, or click the button below to enlarge all text
1. To bake sponge; preheat oven to 180 degrees. Lightly grease a 10” round or square baking pan with non stick baking spray. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (about 5 mins). Lower the speed to medium, add the eggs one at a time, keeping a one minute gap between each one. Throw in the vanilla extract. Sift the flour with the baking powder. On low speed add half the dry ingredients, then half the milk, repeat. Fill the pan to just over halfway and bake for 35-40 mins or until a cake tester comes out clean. Leave to cool.
2. To make frosting; Beat the butter and dulce de leche together until well combined. Gradually add the icing sugar until smooth and then beat in the vanilla
3. Combine cake and frosting; once the cake is completely cool, crumble it using either your fingers or a food processor. Mix the cake crumbs with the frosting until you get a dough like consistency you can easily mould into balls. Wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Remove cake pop mixture from fridge and begin rolling into small balls – they should just fit comfortably into the palm of your hand. Place balls onto the tray and once rolled place back in the fridge for another 10 mins or until balls are firm
5. Remove cake balls from fridge. Melt a small amount of chocolate. Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the chocolate about 2 cm in. Insert a stick into the centre of each cake ball. Now you are ready to start dipping.
6. Melt the remaining chocolate. Holding by the stick, gently dip each cake ball into the chocolate until completely coated. Gently tap off any excess. Decorate with sprinkles of your choice. Insert into a polystyrene block to dry.
Cupcakes de zanahoria con buttercream de Toffee, ganador del sorteo CHC y nuevo Sorteo!
Hola de nuevo!! tenía pensado hacer una receta Halloweeniana para estos días pero como siempre voy a tope y sin apenas tiempo queda de momento está en la lista de pendientes. Como todavía quedan un par de semanas, espero poderla publicar antes del 31 que seguro que os encanta
Pero como tenía pendiente dar el nombre del ganador del sorteo del libro de Cakes Haute Couture y traeros un nuevo sorteo pues aquí estoy con una recetita de cupcakes fácil y tremenda que preparamos en uno de los cursos de cupcakes que hicimos este martes.
También os dejo con algunas ideas para decorar vuestros cupcakes. podéis jugar mucho con los colores, boquillas y decoraciones, ya sabéis que la imaginación es infinita, así que por ejemplo tenemos el Cupcake Otoñal tricolor. Teñimos el buttercream de tres colores, marrón, naranja y amarillo y lo colocamos en una sola manga pastelera con boquilla 1 M. Queda preciosa y muy delicada. Con unas bonitas flores de pasta de azúcar le darán el detalle completo.
Otro diseño muy campestre es el Daisy Cupcake. Teñimos el Buttercream de verde y con la boquilla 233, en forma de césped, decoramos todo el cupcake y hacemos unas bonitas margaritas con pasta de azúcar y decoramos en el top. Queda muy dulce.
Para Halloween un Spider Cupcake puede dar el toque diferente a tus postres. Tan fácil como teñir el buttercream de negro, decoramos con la boquilla 2D y con glasa blanca de delineado hacemos las telarañas. Cogemos papel parafinado y con lápiz dibujamos la plantilla. Con la boquilla del 3 hacemos la telaraña siguiendo la plantilla. Dejamos secar 24 horas y ya las podemos colocar encima de nuestro cupcake.
Y si nos gusta trabajar con el fondant, podemos decorar todo el cupcake con él. Con un cortador circular hacemos la base del cupcake para colocarla encima y con un palillo le vamos haciendo pequeños puntitos en todo el lateral. Con diferentes cortadores con expulsor hacemos flores y hojas y decoramos. La mariquita está hecha con dos bolitas una negra y roja, y añadiendo pequeñas bolitas negras en el top del cuerpo de la mariquita.
Véis que tenéis infinidad de posibilidades, espero que las que os muestros os den nuevas ideas o os ayuden a empezar a practicar con este pastelito de posibilidades infinitas.

2º Aniversario del blog, Sorteo!! y un Strawberry Pink Degraded Pop Cake (Tarta de fresa y bolitas cake pop con buttercream degradado)
-
Le Fabuleux Destin du Chocolat
Una tarta hecha con bolitas de cake pop!! súper original, así que me decidí a probarla. Como véis en el corte las bolitas de cake pop se pueden ver perfectamente, queda una tarta muy divertida y diferente, y podéis dar rienda suelta a vuestra imaginación, combinando colores, tamaños, lo que queráis.
Como sabéis que yo soy lila, y un poco rosa, pues los colores que utilicé para toda la tarta fueron estos. Los cake pops son de vainilla, hechos con la BabyCakes, tiñiendo la masa en 3 colores y la base del bizcocho es de fresa, por eso también tiene este color rosado, ya que utilicé la Pasta de fresa de Home Chef y queda deliciosa!!!
Strawberry Pink Degradée Pop Cake
Receta para cake pops la tenéis aquí. Solamente tenéis que separarla en 3 una vez hecha la masa y teñirla de colores distintos. Horneamos en la máquina y dejamos enfríar. Podemos hacerlas un día antes y guardarlas en un recipiente hermético.
Ingredientes para la base de tarta de fresa:
210 gr de harina con levadura incorporada
25 gr de harina de maiz
225 gr de Golden Caster Sugar
1 cdta de levadura en polvo
225 gr de mantequilla a temperatura ambiente
4 huevos grandes
1 cdta de extracto de vainilla. Yo siempre utilizo la pasta de Nielsen Massey.
2 cucharadas de pasta de fresa

300 gr de mantequilla a temperatura ambiente
300 gr de azúcar glass tamizado.
1 cdta de extracto de fresa
Bolitas rosas decorativas, grandes y pequeñas.
Preparación de los cake pops:
Receta para cake pops la tenéis aquí. Solamente tenéis que separarla en 3 una vez hecha la masa y teñirla de colores distintos. Horneamos en la máquina y dejamos enfríar. Podemos hacerlas un día antes y guardarlas en un recipiente hermético.
Preparación de la base de tarta de fresa:
Precalentamos el horno a 180 ºC. Engrasamos dos moldes iguales de 18 cm. Yo puse más masa en un molde y los hice desiguales para que pudieran caber bien las bolitas de cake pops y no quedaran sobresaliendo de la masa.
Tamizamos de manera conjunta la harina con levadura, la harina de maiz el azúcar y la levadura en polvo. Mezclamos bien unos 5 segundos con la batidora eléctrica. Añadimos la mantequilla, los huevos, mezclando bien después de cada añadido, la pasta de fresa y la vainilla, y mezclamos bien todos los ingredientes.
Dividimos nuestra masa en dos partes desiguales,y las colocamos en los moldes previamente engrasados, una más que otra como véis en la imagen del resultado. Procedemos a sumergir unas 8-9 bolitas de cake pop en la masa, en cada uno de los moldes. Pasamos a hornear las masas unos 25-30 minutos, o hasta que al intriducir un palillo en el centro de la tarta , éste salga limpio.
Dejamos enfriar en rejilla unos minutos, desmoldamos y dejamos enfriar completamente.
Preparación del Buttercream:
Cortamos en daditos la mantequilla y la dejamos un ratito para que se ablande. Tamizamos el azúcar y mezclamos bien los dos ingredientes unos minutos hasta de la masa se aclare y se unifiquen los dos ingredientes dando resultado a una mezcla fina y suave. Le añadimos la cdta de aroma de fresa y seguimos batiendo un par de minutos más. Separamos la mezcla en 3 y la teñimos de colores rosa claro, rosa fucsia y lila. Yo hago las mezclas con los colorantes de Ateco que tienen un tono precioso!
Montaje de la tarta:
Untamos bien la parte superior de nuestra tarta más gruesa con buttercream de color lila. Colocamos encima la otra base de tarta y comenzamos a forrar la tarta con los diferentes tonos de buttercream. Empezamos por abajo, con la paleta vamos untando con el buttercream
lila. Una vez completado el primer color, limpiamos bien la paleta y escogemos el color fucsia de buttercream y procedemos del mismo modo. No pasa nada si los colores se mezclan , le da un toque mucho más original y bonito. Procedemos con el color rosa pastel y seguimos con la parte superior de la tarta hasta que quede completamente forrado. Le damos forma de espiral al buttecream en la parte superior y decoramos con bolitas de colores rosa de diferentes tamaños y tonos.
Solamente queda hacer el corte y disfrutar!
Tarta fondant: Vamos al Mar
compuesta de dos bases de bizcocho tierno de chocolate y relleno y cubierto de una fina capa de ganache de chocolate y almíbar. Las decoraciones están hechas con pasta de goma teñida de colores azul, y rojo, el mar está hecho con piping gel teñido de azul, la arena son galletas digestive trituradas, la imitación de cuerda marina está hecha con un molde de silicona trenzado, y la guirnalda es de papel con palitos de madera y enrollados con pasta de goma roja.
Bizcocho tierno de chocolate:
(Para dos bases de 17.5 cm)
Ingredientes:
75 gr de habas de chocolate negro de cobertura
100 ml de leche
225 gr de azúcar moreno
75 gr de mantequilla sin sal, a temperatura ambiente
2 huevos medianos, ligeramente batidos
150 gr de harina
1 y 1/2 cucharadas de cacao en polvo
1/ cucharadita de levadura en polvo
1/2 cucharadita de bicarbonato sódico.
Ganache de chocolate:
(Para unos 600 gr)
Ingredientes:
300 gr de habas de chocolate negro de cobertura
300 ml de crema de leche.
Preparación de los bizcochos:
Precalentamos el horno a 160 ºC.
Engrasamos dos moldes de 17.5 cm de diámetro con spray de mantequilla o pintamos con mantequilla derretida la base y los laterales y espolvoreamos con harina. Cortamos con papel de horno un círculo igual a la base del molde y lo colocamos en ella.
Colocamos el chocolate, la leche y la mitad del azúcar y en un cazo y lo llevamos a ebullición, removiendo de vez en cuando.
Con una batidora eléctrica, mezclamos la mantequilla y el resto del azúcar hasta que queden bien integrados y la mezcla quede más clara y suave.
Poco a poco vamos añadiendo los huevos ligeramente baidos.
Mezclamos y tamizamos el cacao en polvo, la levadura y el bicarbonato y lo bamos añadiendo a la mezcla de manera muy suave y despacio ( si nuestra batidora no tiene velocidad muy lenta, es mejor hacerlo a mano, quedará suave, esponjoso, y no lo batiremos en exceso)
Colocamos nuestra mezcla de chocolate caliente en un vaso medidor y poco a poco lo vamos añadiendo a nuestra mezcla, removiendo bien mientras se va incorporando el chocolate caliente para que quede la mezcla uniforma y suave.
Separamos nuestra mezcla final en dos, y añadimos cada mitad en uno de nuestros moldes engrasados.
Horneamos aproximadamente unos 25-30 minutos, hasta que veamos que los bordes se separan del molde y al introducir un palillo éste sale limpio.
Dejamos enfriar unos minutos y les damos la vuelta. Dejamos en rejilla hasta que estén totalmente fríos. Es recomendable dejarlos reposar hasta el día siguiente. Será mucho más fácil proceder con el relleno y posterior forrado de la tarta con fondant. Los envolvemos en film transparente y los dejamos a temperatura ambiente. También podemos congelarlos sin problema.
Preparación del Ganache de chocolate:
Colocamos la crema de leche en un cazo y justo cuando empiece a hervir lo paramos y separamos del fuego.
Añadimos el chocolate de cobertura y vamos removiendo hasta que se hayan derretido completamente y la mezcla se suave y uniforme, ligeramente brillante.
Dejamos enfriar a temperatura ambiente unas horas, o en la nevera unos 30 minutos. no más ya que lo que queremos es poder rellenar la tarta con una capa fina de ganache y no puede quedar muy duro.
Montaje de la tarta:
Colocamos el primero de los bizcochos sobre una base redonda para tarta y rellenamos la parte superior y los costados con el ganache de chocolate, una capa bien fina, con una espátula larga de acer inoxidable os irá perfecto. Colocamos el segundo bizcocho sobre el primero y procedemos a realizar el mismo paso. Cubrimos toda la tarta resultante con ganache para que quede como una sola pieza cubierta de una fina capa del ganache. Tiene que quedar bien suave y uniforme para que el forrado de la tarta con fondant quede perfecto.
Dejamos en la nevera unas horas para que se endurezca el chocolate y podamos trabajar bien la tarta.. Antes de forrar pintamos con un poco de almíbar toda la tarta
Bakerella Cake Pops
Como casi todos saben muy pronto mi dulce Olivia cumplirá su primer añito. Estamos esperando ese día con ansias, y poco a poco estoy diseñando su fiesta, que no será enorme pero si muy bien pensada y organizada con sumo detalle y mucho, pero mucho AMOR.
Hace tiempo que quería probar esta receta, me parece divertida, súper original y me gustaba para incluirla en el catering de la fiesta. Este fin de semana me hice un tiempo para probarla, en realidad con días tan lindos no daban ganas de estar en la cocina pero el tiempo corre y la fecha del cumple se acerca. Siempre que organizo algún tipo de evento pruebo las recetas nuevas varias veces, de esta forma me aseguro de no cometer errores el día “D”…todos los errores se los come mi amado esposo, mientras practico… Gracias al cielo! El es uno de los mejores críticos que he tenido.
Estos son unos chupetines de torta o mejor llamados “Cake Pops”, su inventora es también la creadora del encantador sitio Bakerella. Sus “paso a paso” son excelentes y también sus videos. Súper carismática y dulce, Bakerella muestra sus incursiones en la cocina siempre
acompañadas de muy buenas fotos. No dejen de visitarlo. I LOVE YOU Bakerella!
Una de las cosas que descubrí probando esta receta son los nuevos baños de chocolate de Lodiser de colores! son simplemente espectaculares. Se funden en microondas y no es necesario templarlos, pero cuidado con pasarse con el tiempo porque se quema y no se puede recuperar. Lo máximo que tolera son 30 segundos a temperatura máxima, lo sacan, lo revuelven con cuchara o palillo de madera y prueban otros 30 segundos así no más de 1 minuto 30 o se quema y si lo digo tan enfáticamente es porque, queridos míos, lamentablemente lo quemé! Recuerden que deben picar la barra antes de llevarla al micro, pequeño detalle que no han tenido en cuenta los creadores de este excelente producto, sería mucho mas practico si viniera en pastillas o perlas, en lugar de barra. Eso sí, los colores son súper brillantes y vienen saborizados.
Para estos cake pops van a necesitar un bizcochuelo desgranado (pueden usar perfectamente un bizcochuelo de cajita tipo Exquisita preparado como indica el envase, esta parte es muy divertida), una taza de frosting (les paso la receta en la próxima entrada), un paquete de Oreos partidas en pedacitos (agregado de mi golosa imaginación) y 300g de baño de chocolate Lodiser Alpino de color rosa o algún chocolate que tengan para bañar. Palitos para chupetín o palitos de brochette y granas de colores para decorar.Desgranar el bizcochuelo, agregar el frosting y mezclar bien, agregar tambien el paquete de Oreos partidas y volver a mezclar. Llevar unos 10 minutos a heladera. Retirar y hacer bolitas entre las palmas de las manos del tamaño de una nuez pequeña, llevar las bolitas a heladera durante 15 minutos. Retirar de la heladera. Fundir el baño de chocolate, tomar un palito y antes de introducirlo dentro de la bolita de torta mojarlo en el baño de chocolate para que quede adherido por dentro, luego sumergir la bolita dentro del chocolate y al retirarlo dar pequeños golpes con la palma al palito para descartar el excedente de chocolate. Mientras esté fresco decorar con granas. Dejar secar.
Piruletas de tarta con forma de flores
Cómo hacer cake pops en forma de flores
Piruletas de flores
Piruletas de tarta con forma de flores. Cómo hacer cake pops.
He encontrado esta receta en el blog Strawberry Chic, un blog exquisito con una recetas impresionantes, y en ella encontré esta receta que son verdaderas obras de arte!. Explica paso a paso como hacer las famosas cake pops. Los cake pops son piruletas hechas de tarta. La idea es hacer un bizcocho, luego pasarlo por la batidora, amasas la masa y vas haciendo la forma que quieras con ella terminando por hacer los famosos cake pops, que son estas piruletas. En este caso son hechas en forma de flores, pero puedes hacerlas de la forma que quieras.
No os voy a mentir, esta receta es muy elaborada... pero merece la pena hacerlas porque terminarás con un pequeño y delicioso jardín de tulipanes en tu propia casa.
Materiales necesariosBizcocho de zanahoria hecha, (o cualquier sabor que se desees)1 taza de cobertura de vainillaBatidorapapel de cera para cocinarrodillocortador de pizzapalillos de piruletas (yo uso las de brochetas de madera que quedan geniales)Chocolate, amarillo inmersiónBloque de corcho grueso o poliespam (ver imagen 6)cinta VerdePistola de pegamento caliente (para pegar la cinta verde a los palillos)
* Antes de empezar a saber que este proceso es un poco largo y tarda su tiempo en hacers: pero el resultado vale la pena!
Elaboración:
Paso 1. Hornea la tarta según las instrucciones de la tarta o bizcocho que prefieras hacer. El bizcocho tradicional o el de zanahoria quedan geniales, y deja enfriar.
Paso 2. Con un cuchillo o una espátula, cortar la tarta en trozos pequeños y colóqualos en un bol grande.
Paso 3. Coloca los trozos de tarta en un procesador de alimentos, Thermomix o utiliza tu batidora tradicional y desmenúcelo hasta que se formen migajas finas (es probable que tengas que hacerlo por partes, dependiendo de cuán grande sea la tarta). Vierte las migas de la tarta o bizcocho en un bol grande.
Paso 4. Añadir alrededor de 1-3/4 tazas de cobertura de vainilla y mezclar bien utilizando la parte trasera de una cuchara grande.
Paso 5. Toma aproximadamente 1 cucharada de la masa de la tarta y forma un capullo de rosa un poco alargado.
Colocar en una bandeja de horno forrada con papel de cera de cocina y poner en el congelador.
Paso 6. Después de que los trozos de masa han estado en el congelador durante una hora aproximadamente y la masa esté un poco mas dura, insertar sus palillos de piruletas. Cuando termines de poner las piruletas en cada uno, vuelve a ponerlos dentro del congelador.
Paso 7. Corta 2 pedazos de papel de cera de cocina alrededor de 10cm x 10cm. Toma un pedazo pequeño de la masa, aproximadamente 1/2 cucharadita llena, y hacer una bola. Coloca la bola en el centro de una del papel de cocina a continuación, pon una segunda hoja
por encima.
Paso 8. Usando un rodillo, aplanar la bola en una forma oval. No lo hagas demasiados finas porque sino después se te romperán al sumergirlos en chocolate.
Usando un cortador de pizza, cortar los bordes del óvalo de modo que se quedan con una forma de gota de lluvia larga.
Paso 9. Coge una de las piruletas que has sacado del congelador, presiona ligeramente el pétalo en su lugar, y con cuidado retira el papel de cocina. Devolver la piruleta al congelador mientras creas el siguiente pétalo. Repite el proceso hasta que toda la piruleta tenga su pétalo de cada lado.
Asegúrate de regresar cada flor en el congelador después de cada pétalo se coloca. Luego, continúa con el pétalo de segundo patrón y continuar hasta que tenga 4 pétalos en cada flor. Puedes cortar varios cuadrados de papel de cocina y hacer los 4 pétalos a la vez para ir avanzando más rapidamente. Sólo recuerda que debes mantener la piruleta fría para que mantenga su forma original.
Nota: Asegúrate de exagerar la forma y el grosor de sus pétalos, porque después de que se sumergen en el chocolate que va a perder mucho de sus detalles.
Paso 10. Coloca algunas de sus piezas de chocolate en una bolsa de plástico hermética. Caliéntalo en el micorondas en perídosos de 30 segundos hasta que se derrita (sino puedes hacerlo a baño maría también y ponerlo en una manga pastelera). Corta un agujero muy pequeño en la punta de la bolsa y pon lo que sería un anillo al rededor de cada palillo e introducelo dentro de la piruleta. Esto hará que se sujete mejor. Cuando termines de hacer esto podrás ya poner las piruletas de pie sobre un corcho grueso.
Coloca las piruletas en la nevera (no congelador) durante al menos una hora.
Paso 11. Derrite el chocolate en un recipiente a baño maría. Si sientes que el chocolate está demasiado espeso se puede agregar un poco de mantequilla (mezcla en aproximadamente 1/4 cucharadita a la vez hasta obtener el espesor deseado). Coge las piruletas, sumérgelas en el chocolate. Mantén la cara de la flor hacia abajo y dejar que el chocolate se escurra el
final. Puedes incluso ir dando vueltas a la piruleta hasta que el chocolate se endurezca. Una vez que el chocolate se endurece, vuelve a poner las piruletas en la nevera (pinchándolo en el polispam o el corcho blanco gordo). Coge otra piruleta, y repite estos pasos hasta que todos se estén hechos!
Como puedes ver, a pesar de que había dado forma a los pétalos para que se encendiera a cabo en los extremos, cuando fueron bañadas en chocolate los pétalos perdieron un poco de forma en el centro, por eso es importante que la masa no sea demasiado fina porque pierde la forma.
Paso 12. El tallo opcional: Coloca una pequeña tira de pegamento caliente y la parte superior del palo lolly pop. Aplicar la cinta y gira a la baja hasta llegar al extremo del palo. Cortar la cola de la cinta y caliente hasta el final. Cortar un pedazo de cinta alrededor de unos cm de largo y un lazo en la parte superior de cada lado para asemejarse a las hojas.

Easy Cake Pop RecipePerfect for any party or get together, these super easy cake pops are sure to rock your world! A quick shout out to my beautiful and talented sista-in-law, Lyndsi, who was patient in teaching me to make these glorious yummies.
Want to learn how to make these for yourself?
Here are the step by step instructions with pictures.Feel free to leave a comment with any questions.Ready, set, go!
Cake Pop Supplies:Devils Food cake mix {and ingredients listed on box}1/2 package of chocolate frostingWhite Chocolate Candy Melts {2 bags from Michael’s}Candy sticks {from Michael’s}Styrofoam Gel Food Coloring {NOT liquid}FoilVegetable Oil SprayShortening {large spoon full}Step One:Line your large cake pan with foil.
Now grease the foil with vegetable oil spray.
Step Two:Follow the recipe on your cake mix and bake your cake as directed.
Allow the cake to cool.
Step Three:Put your baked cake in a large mixing bowl.
Use your hands to crumble the entire cake.
Add about 1/2 of the package of chocolate frosting to the crumbled cake.The chocolate frosting is what acts as a glue to hold the cake balls together.
Now its time to get dirty.Use your hands to mix the frosting evenly throughout the crumbled cake mix until the cake mix is well moistened.
Your cake mix should be moist enough to shape into a large mound and keep its shape.
And if your hands don’t look like this, then you’re doing it wrong {lol}.
Step Four:Roll your cake mix into 1 inch balls using the palms of your hands.
You should be able to get 35-40 cake balls from a single batch of cake mix.
Step Five:Now we prepare the chocolate shell. Pour one entire package of white chocolate candy melts into a microwave safe bowl. Follow the melting instructions on the package. *Be sure not to burn the candy melts or they will taste super yucky*
Pull out your melted white chocolate and stir thoroughly with a spoon until COMPLETELY smooth. Once smooth, add a large spoon full of shortening {Crisco} to the white chocolate to thin out the consistency a bit. Stir thoroughly again.
Step Six:Take a cake pop and dip into the white chocolate about 1 inch.
And then place it into the center of your cake ball.This will act as a glue keeping your cake pop and stick attached.
Then place your cake pop in the Styrofoam to harden.Continue with the remaining cake pops.
Step Seven:Now you are ready to coat your cake pops in the delicious white chocolate.This is the most tricky step of the entire recipe. It took me some practice before I was good at evenly coating the chocolate on the pop.
The key is to place the pop in the chocolate at a sideways angle with one hand. Using the other hand, spoon the chocolate mixture all around the pop. Try to do this as quickly as possible before the chocolate begins to harden and get lumpy.
Once you have evenly coated the pop, gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to get off any excess chocolate that would drip.
Step Eight:Now its time to make your pops look extra pretty. Use the remainder of your white chocolate for the drizzle. If you run out, make more following the steps above. Add the GEL food coloring of your choice until you receive your desired color. The liquid food coloring will immediately harden and ruin your chocolate.
Fill a Ziploc bag with your colored white chocolate. Cut a small hole in one corner of the Ziploc back so that you can drizzle the colored chocolate over your pops.UPDATE: I have just learned how to keep your cake pops from falling off the stick when you try to cover them in chocolate! After you shape the cake into little balls, put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes so they are super chilled. Then continue with the recipe. They will be “more solid” and therefor hold onto the stick better.
Now let your cake pops dry and then you are done!Lyndsi and I preferred the way the cake pops taste after they have chilled in the refrigerator for a bit. I am so making these at the next baby shower I throw {that’s right Kristyn}!How pretty are these bad boys?!

Ingredients
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 1/3 cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons) 3 cups flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt 3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided 3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
00
00
00
For the glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted 3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.

Preparation and cooking times

Cook 30 mins
plus cooling
Unfilled sponge can be frozen
Butter 2 x 20cm non-stick sandwich tins and line with circles of baking paper. Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Using electric hand beaters, beat the butter, 3 tbsp peanut butter, eggs, sugar and yogurt together until smooth and creamy. Fold in the flour, then split the mix between the tins, using a spatula to get every last bit. Bake for 30 mins until risen and golden.
Meanwhile, toss the salted peanuts and icing sugar with ½ tsp water until well coated and claggy. Spread over a non-stick baking sheet. When the cakes are ready, leave them to cool for 5 mins in the tin, then turn onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Turn the oven up to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, then roast the nuts for 10 mins, tossing them a couple of times until golden and coated in a shiny caramel. Tip onto a lightly buttered plate. Make the topping while you wait: melt the chocolate and milk together in a pan over simmering water or microwave on High for 1 min, then stir to melt. Leave to cool.
Put one of the sponges onto a plate, spread with 2 tbsp peanut butter (or more), then dot with the dulce de leche and spread with a palette knife. Sandwich the second sponge on top, then spread with the chocolate topping. Scatter with the caramelised peanuts to serve.
TIP
Dulce de leche is a thick, spoonable caramel sauce in a jar, usually found with the canned fruit and custard in the supermarket. If you can't find it, use Carnation Caramel (which comes in a tin) or any good-quality toffee sauce.

I doubled the topping and put a reeces nutrageous bar cut into 10 pieces on the top I also found after being asked to make it a few times that when stored in an air tight box for a day or two uncut it becomes a lot moister

Wow! This is a gorgeous dish! The dulce de leche is in a squeezy jar so you can really get giddy with the amount you can evenly spread! We used Cadburys dairy milk for the topping and its fantastic! Just watch out that you dont burn the peanuts as you roast them. A truly scrummy dish!!!

Fab cake. I have made this twice but not put peanuts on top. I found I had to add 1tsp of baking powder the 2nd time which made it a lighter sponge.

As always, a beautifully constructed and inventive recipe from Jane Hornby and Good Food. I made this one for the nut-freaks in the office and it was devoured faster than any I've made before. The caramelised roasted salted peanuts do sound a bit odd, but they are delicious, although they do need to be watched very carefully while toasting - I only needed to put them in for five minutes, tossed around about halfway through.

A very easy cake to make. As in a previous comment I found it became more moist after a few days. As I had to fill and top it the day before my husband's birthday, I found that the peanut butter and toffee sauce had soaked into the sponge. I think I might make a peanut butter 'buttercream' in future and put the toffee onto that. Will report back if I make it again.

Lovely moist cake that went a long way as it is very sweet (and equally scrumptious) I also burnt the first lot of peanuts. Will make again - but probably won't bother with the nuts on top

Loved it but as many people have already said - careful with the peanuts. My first lot burnt - second time, I cooked them for 6 minutes and that was just right in my oven. Really unusual cake recipe - my friends all loved it.

If you like, coat your Bundt pan with cooking spray just before filling it with the batter to ensure that the cake will release easily from the pan.

Add to Shopping List
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted 1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar 4 large eggs 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 to 2 tablespoons water
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
2. In a large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, and eggs. Whisk until smooth. Gradually whisk in dry ingredients just until combined (do not overmix). Using a rubber spatula, fold in apples. Spoon batter into a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan, and smooth top. Bake until a tester inserted in cake comes out
clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes; invert onto rack to cool completely.
3. Make the Glaze: Whisk together confectioners' sugar and enough water to form a thick yet pourable glaze. Set rack with cake over a piece of wax paper (for easy cleanup); drizzle cake with glaze, and let set before serving.

1 pound cream cheese, at room temperature 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature 3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/4 teaspoon pure almond extract 1 pound confectioners' sugar, sifted 6 ounces sweetened shredded coconut
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans, then line them parchment paper. Grease them again and dust lightly with flour.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light yellow and fluffy. Crack the eggs into a small bowl. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs 1 at a time, scraping down the bowl once during mixing. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and mix well. The mixture might look curdled; don't be concerned.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the batter in 3 parts, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Fold in the 4 ounces of coconut with a rubber spatula.
Pour the batter evenly into the 2 pans and smooth the top with a knife. Bake in the center of the oven for 45 to 55 minutes, until the tops are browned and a cake tester comes out clean. Cool on a baking rack for 30 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to finish cooling.
For the frosting, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the cream cheese, butter, vanilla and almond extract on low speed. Add the confectioners' sugar and mix until just smooth (don't whip!).
To assemble, place 1 layer on a flat serving plate, top side down, and spread with frosting. Place the second layer on top, top side up, and frost the top and sides. To decorate the cake, sprinkle the top with coconut and lightly press more coconut onto the sides. Serve at room temperature.

Don't like this personally (not a fan of mint) but everyone who's tried them said they
were excellent. If you like them more bitter, works well with dark chocolate too.

Was wondering if these would work with other flavourings such as rum, coffee, etc., or
would the alcohol alter the texture? Need boxing day gifts and short on ingredients! Any
help would be appreciated.

These I think are my favourite chocolate truffles out of all the kinds I've made, they are
so creamy and there is just enough mint so it's not overpowering!!!

I changed the mint to Baileys and they were very nice, although i did add more
chocolate to make them set a bit more. I also coated them in chocolate rather than icing
sugar. They didn't last long!!

after a failed first attempt (forgot to use double cream!), the second batch turned out
great. I put in over half a tsp of peppermint essence as wasn't strong enough for me and
find the taste perfect - not overpowering at all. They did take well over 24 hours to set
properly in the fridge. Have frozen the rest ready to give as gifts for christmas! would love
to try different flavours, poss using baileys etc but not sure where to start with altering
these truffle recipes!

I am helping my future sister in law plan her wedding. Right now, we're working on the
wedding favors. Kelly is giving the reception guests a single truffle. These will make the
perfect gift! She and I began looking for packaging, and we found the cutest favor boxes
from Box and Wrap! These boxes fit a single truffle, and the boxes come in all colors.
Favors Done!

I made these for a dinner party which I hosted yesterday and these went down a treat. I
did add a lot more peppermint essence, and I will be experimenting with some different
flavours. They were very, very cheap and easy to make. Will definitely be making these
again! :D

I've just made these, so quick and easy to prep! I had to add 2 tsp of peppermint
essence though and I also used Sainsbury's so be sure to try before chilling to see if it's
strong enough. I will be making these for xmas presents, cheap and easy and can be done
in advance - perfect.

Peach Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Frosting (Vegan)
As some of you know, I am no stranger to the cupcake. I have baked plenty for family, friends and work-related crowds, where some people have been known to ask if I was sure I didn’t get them from a bakery. (Leaving my reaction uncertain: to take it as a complement that these
people think the cupcakes looked as good as the ones from a bakery, or as an offense in that they thought I was actually incapable of producing them?) In any event, I was enticed by the idea for these cupcakes because I liked the challenge of it: to make vegan cupcakes tasting as good or better than my ordinary fare.
I’m not vegan, but we make a lot of vegan and vegetarian dishes. Yet one of the bigger challenges for me has been vegan desserts and baking, because I’ve been afraid to stray from a recipe that I have tested and that I know works (and also knowing that precision is important in the chemistry of baking, as every ingredient is there for a reason). Maybe I'm simply afraid of failure, but I have discovered from my scientist husband that experiment is an essential part of learning, and that failure is an essential part of most experiments. So I have experimented, and I’ve learned that in order to make successful vegan dishes, particularly desserts, one only needs to know the purpose of the non-vegan ingredient you're replacing. And besides, who can go wrong with peaches and coconut?
Here I was experimenting with two different recipes at once: the cupcakes and the frosting. For the cupcakes, I started out as I would for a carrot cake, which doesn't call for milk or butter (using vegetable oil instead), leaving only eggs to get rid of. I substituted the eggs with apple sauce, adding more baking powder to compensate for the leavening quality of the eggs that I would be losing.
For the frosting I used coconut milk as my base. My frame of reference for this was cream cheese frosting. The only trick is to have the coconut milk be of a similar, thick consistency as that of cream cheese, to be able to whip it properly. As a result I used only the solids from the coconut milk (it's good to refrigerate a can of coconut milk overnight to help it separate).
I was pleased with the final result: one thing that Tony said when he tried one of these cupcakes, when I told him they were vegan, was "I'm surprised," muffled by a mouthful of the cupcake.
Peach Cupcakes (Vegan)(Makes 12 cupcakes)
You will need:1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt2 tsp baking powder1/2 cup granulated sugar1/4 cup plain apple sauce 1 15 oz can peach halves (sugar-free or naturally sweetened)1/4 cup canola oil 1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with fluted cups. In a medium bowl, combine together flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder and set aside. In a food processor or a blender, purée the peach halves (discard the juice or use it elsewhere), and set aside. 2. In a large bowl, beat sugar and apple sauce with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, 1-2 minutes. Add puréed peach halves, canola oil and vanilla, and beat until well-blended and the oil has emulsified, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in batches, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.3. Divide the batter between the 12 muffin cups. Bake for 30 minutes or slightly longer if needed, until cupcakes are a rich golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 1 minute before transferring the cupcakes to a wire rack. Let cool completely before frosting.
Coconut Cream Frosting (Vegan)(Frosts 12 cupcakes)
You will need:1 15oz can of coconut milk 1 cup confectioner's sugar1/2 tsp triple sec or other liqueur
Directions:1. Before using, refrigerate the can of coconut milk for several hours or overnight. The solids will have separated from the liquids, with the solids on top. Carefully spoon out only the solids onto a bowl (use the liquids elsewhere or discard). Add confectioner's sugar and triple sec, and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about 2-3 minutes, until ripples form and the consistency is smooth and creamy. Always refrigerate until needed. Pipe or spread onto cooled cupcakes.

Strawberry Puree (Sauce) Tested Recipe Printer Friendly Page
Strawberry Sauce (Puree) is a delicious blend of pureed strawberries and sugar. Fruit sauces pack a lot of flavor yet involve so little effort. Take this strawberry sauce; all you need to do is process either fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries, along with a little sugar, until smooth. Then add a few drops of lemon juice to bring out the strawberry's flavor and your done. It stores for up to a week in your refrigerator or for a month in your freezer.
While fruit sauces are not commonly made and used by home cooks, pastry chefs have long valued their versatility and their ability to transform even the simplest dessert into something special. Take a slice of cheesecake or a rich chocolate torte
and drizzle over a little strawberry sauce, and you will be amazed at how much better it looks and tastes. Or, for an easy weeknight dessert that your kids will love, just pour it over a bowl of ice cream or make a strawberry milkshake. It is also wonderful when folded into some whipped cream for a Fruit Fool, or as part of an Eton Mess. It can be used as a filling for cakes and roulades, either alone or added to Confectioners' frosting, whipping cream, or Pastry Cream.
If you decide to use fresh strawberries to make this sauce, you need to buy strawberries that are at their prime. Look for bright red berries that are fragrant, plump, firm, uniformly sized, and with no white or green "shoulders" at the stem end. There should be no soft spots, bruising or mildew. The green leaf-like cap or hull should still be attached and it should not be brown or wilted. Always check the underside of the container to make sure there are no squashed berries or red juice (sign of overripe berries). Also, since strawberries are a delicate fruit they do not store well. If not using immediately store in a single layer on a paper towel-lined tray in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Do not wash or remove caps before storing as strawberries absorb moisture. Immediately before using quickly wash berries (do not soak), with caps still intact, so the berries will not fill with water which, dilutes the flavor of the strawberry.
Strawberry Puree: Place the unsweetened frozen strawberries in a large bowl and thaw. This may take a few hours. Once thawed, put the strawberries and their juice in the bowl of a food processor or blender and process the berries until they are pureed. Pour the puree into a 2 cup (480 ml) measuring cup. You should have about 1 1/4 cups of puree. Add 1/4 cup (50 grams) of the sugar to start and stir until the sugar dissolves. Taste and add more sugar if needed. Can also add a little lemon juice to taste.
Store covered in the refrigerator for one week. The sauce can also be frozen.
Makes approximately 1 1/4 cups (300 ml). Preparation time 10 minutes.
Strawberry Puree (Sauce):
1 - 20 ounce bag (570 grams) of frozen unsweetened strawberries or 20 ounces of fresh strawberries
1/4 - 1/3 cup (50 - 65 grams) granulated white sugar, or to taste
Freshly squeezed lemon juice, optional

Peach Vanilla Bean Bundt Cake with Peach Soaking Syrup
Makes 10-inch bundt cake, serving 12 to 14
Cake
Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 vanilla bean, split, seeds
1 cup sour cream
1 ½ cups diced fresh peaches
Syrup
Ingredients
⅓ cup fresh peach puree, strained
⅔ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
Method
Place rack in center of oven, and preheat oven to 350. Grease
and lightly flour inside of 10 inch bundt pan.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a
large bowl. Set aside.
Using either a stand mixer (paddle attachment) or a hand mixer,
beat the butter at medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
Gradually add sugar and beat at medium-high speed until the
mixture is light in texture and color, about 3 minutes. Beat in
eggs one at a time, beating for 30 to 40 seconds after each
addition. Scrape down sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla
bean. At low speed, add flour mixture in three additions,
alternating with sour cream. (Add a bit of flour, a bit of sour
cream, a bit of flour, a bit of sour cream, a bit of flour.)
Scoop half of batter into pan and spread with spatula. Sprinkle
with peaches. Scoop remaining half of batter on top of peaches.
Smooth with spatula.
Bake cake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a tooth pick inserted in
the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan on a
cooling rack for 10 minutes, then invert it onto another rack.
Place the cake, on the rack, over a baking sheet.
While cake is baking, make syrup. Combine peach puree, sugar,
and orange juice in a small non reactive saucepan and cook over
medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove pan from heat. Using a pastry brush, dab syrup
generously all over surface of the warm cake, allowing it to soak
into the cake before reapplying. Let the cake cool completely.
