I made these for my daughter’s birthday this weekend and used this exact recipe and they were delicious!!! Everyone loved them and we only had two left at the end of the party. The texture of the cake turns out to be like a fudgey brownie, which is a great contrast to the hard chocolate shell. I will admit I have issues with weird textures so I was a little nervous about the cake being crumbled and then put back together with the cream cheese, confectioners sugar mixture, but it was amazingly yummy! I used Wilton’s Candy Dips for the coating in light cocoa and white and they were perfect. I bought the tubs that came with the candies in them and melted it in the microwave, super easy. Because of how moist the cake is, I found that it works best to freeze the cake pops until they are truly hard and nice and cold, that way the weight and warmth of the coating will not cause the pops to come off the sticks. Also, the cold pops cause the coating to harden quickly so you have to decorate fast, but that also means no drips! I also loved that I could start this in the middle of the week and take several days to finish it, I typically dread making cupcakes or a cake because it turns into a marathon of mixing, baking and decorating that is tedious and exhausting. This allowed me to spend about an hour each day and I finished the day before the party and didn’t have to stress or rush the day of the party! I will definitely make these again!! Oh and this recipe made 48 2 inch balls!

[…] I was asked to teach the woman in my church group how to make Cake Pops at our yearly Super Saturday. Since said Super Saturday is only 2 weeks away I decided I needed to make sure I knew how to make Cake Pops. I mean how card can they really be? Well lucky for me they really aren’t difficult at all, but they are a little time-consuming. I went to Pinterest for some Cake Pop guidance and found this post from Miss Candiquik. […]

Hi Pauline,
thanks for the comment! I would actually use candy coating. You can put it in a heavy duty plastic ziploc bag and cut a tiny hole in one corner and use this to pipe on the hair. Writing icing may work but it takes forever to dry and can be difficult to control when piping on. Hope this helps!
p.s. if you do a google search for “people cake pops”, you will see lots of images of how others have done hair and all of them have used coating it looks like!
