Carolyn Braden's "Buckeye" Cake Pops, Sans Stick

My sister and I decided to change up our traditional buckeye candy this year. We made cake pops without the sticks. We then dipped the top of each Bon-Bon into melted Reece peanut butter chips. The result? Chocolate peanut butter perfection.

Carolyn Braden's Cupcake Cake and Cake Pops

I made a giant cupcake shaped cake with star cake pops and red, white, and blue cake pops for a Fourth of July birthday party. Cake pops are a hit with kids!

Carolyn Braden says "Cake Push-Pops, New Trend?"

Visit this website below to see a new trend in eating cake, push-pops. First there was amazing 3-d cakes, then cupcakes, then cake pops, and now cake push-ups. The trendy cake world seems to be growing and growing!
These cake push-up containers are reusable and can be filled with many sweet things.

Update**************
While shopping at Kroger the other day, they had plastic re-usable push pop containers for sale. I thought it was weird I came across those right after posting this blog. Well, now we know, the trend has arrived in Louisville!

Carolyn Braden's Cake Pops

An easy sweet treat:
Cake Pops!

Make a 9x13 inch sheet cake and crumble it in a bowl.




Add a tub of icing.




Roll the mixture into balls and freeze for 15-20 minutes. I put mine on freezer paper and a cookie sheet in order to put them in the freezer.
Put a sucker stick into each ball. Dip into melted chocolate or candy wafers. Put in the refrigerator to harden. I put mine into floral foam to keep their round shape as they cooled.




When cool and firm, wrap into treat bags if you wish.



Makes 24 pops.
