I am making these jubilee / olympic's Cake-pops with my Mindee's, so thought I would share, as they are very easy.

Jubilee/Olympic’s Cake-pop recipe

Ingredients
1 x box of cake mix
1 x tub of cake frosting
Red, white and blue sprinkles
1 x large bar of chocolate to melt
lolly sticks

Method
• Mix and bake your cake mix (in a single tin)
• When cool crumble the cake mix into a bowl
• Stir in ½ the tub of cake frosting until it is the consistency of soft play dough.
• Roll mixture into balls (walnut size) and place on a flat tray covered in grease proof paper.
• Melt a little of your chocolate, dip the ends of your lolly sticks into the chocolate and push one into each cake ball.
• Place the tray in the freezer to harden for approx. 45mins
• When cake-pops are firm, melt the rest of your chocolate and dip each cake-pop into the chocolate. Make sure the whole ball is covered. Then sprinkle the red, white and blue sprinkles over to decorate.
• Stand them to set (I covered a block of florist foam in tinfoil, you can also use a cardboard box with holes punched in it).
• Store in the fridge.
• You can also buy little plastic sleeves from craft/cake shops to pop over the cake-pops and seal with a tie-twist/ribbon if you want Mindee’s to be able to take them home.

I made a batch of these yesturday and they turned out great.
They make around 20 cake pops but by making the balls smaller or larger you can get more or less balls out of a batch.

I got my sticks and the red, white and blue sprinkles from Ebay very cheaply (You can also get them from cake shops and Hobbycraft).

Good luck :thumbsup:

They look lovely. Do you have a link to where you buy the covers fro them and how quickly do they deliver?

I got my sprinkles and cup cake cases and toppers from Lakeland.

Handy tip for cake pops, if you use the plastic spoon measuring things, 1 tablespoon one makes the perfect size (nom nom nom) and you get the same size each time. :thumbsup:

Also if you get chocolate cake and Betty Crocker chocolate fudge icing... MY GOD!!!! How gorgeous :clapping: May want to save them ones for adults lol
