Pretty pink flower musk cake pops

One of the great things about cake pops is that you can do anything with them.

Really pretty much anything with a bit of imagination, so many options for decorating and flavor combination.

These are some pops I whipped up last year for a pretty photo shoot and then promptly lost the notes I had written. That happens a bit to me, I'm not really super organised.

But luckily for me I found the measurements I had scrawled on the back of someone's business card a few days ago.

The cake was a dryish cake and the buttercream quite firm so your ratio's might need to change a little depending on what types you are using. For example if you have a moist cake use a little bit less buttercream.

The buttercream I had leftover when I made these was already coloured purple which was great luck, I probably would have made it pink but I think the purple contrast with the pink chocolate was lovely.

Ummm I'm not sure exactly how many this makes but it wasn't a huge batch I guess this post is more about encouraging you to experiment with your favourite flavors.

Go on get to it :)

Musk Cake Pops

2 1/4 cups butter cake crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped musk stick lollies (was approx 3 sticks)
1/4 cup buttercream frosting
Pink chocolate melts
copha
lollipop sticks 6 inch
fondant flowers for decoration.

Mix cake crumbs, finely chopped musk lollies and frosting in a bowl until combined. Shape into balls approx 25g (7/8 ounce) on a tray lined with paper and pop into fridge to chill until firm.

Melt the chocolate melts and add copha until the mixture is smooth and moderately runny. If the mixture is thick your finished pops will not be smooth.

Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and insert the stick into the chilled cake ball, the melted chocolate will help to hold the ball onto the stick when it firms up. Repeat with remaining cake balls and return to fridge to firm up.

Ensure the chocolate is still a good consistency for dipping (if not return to microwave for short bursts on low) and dip the cake balls into the chocolate. Pop them into a styrofoam block covered to set. When the chocolate is nearly set pop a fondant flower onto the top or side of the cake ball.
