Cake Pops And Cupcakes 101

People who have sweet teeth can attest that the most irresistible desserts of today are the cake pops and cupcakes.

Cake pops are actually just cake with frosting created into balls, with some candy coating and served on a stick similar to that of a lollipop. You would need a cake mix, frosting, candy melts, colored sprinkles, colored icing tubes and candy eye ball for the decorations. The primary thing to do when making cake pops is to bake a cake of the flavor of your choice. Then you put 2 cups of frosting and combine both with your hands.

With this combination, you form small balls amounting to about 3 to 4 tablespoons each. After creating all the pops, you\’d have to refrigerate them for 1-2 hours or put them in the freezer for half an hour or so. While refrigerating the pops, you can begin melting the candy in the microwave oven. After melting the candy, you submerge the lollipop stick into it. Then, you take out the refrigerated cake pops and push the stick 2/3 through them. To finish off, you need to put the entire cake pop into the melted candy and wait for it to dry. You are now through creating your cake pops.

Next, lovable dessert is the cupcake. Actually, cakes and cupcakes are not that different since cupcakes are just miniature versions of cakes cooked in small thin paper or aluminum cups. What you\’ll need in order to create this masterpiece are some butter, sugar, eggs, flour, vanilla extract, milk, food colouring and icing sugar. Plus you\’ll need some sprinkles, and other balls and petals that can be used as designs.

First off when making cupcakes is preheating the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You should now get a bowl to be your container for the mixture of flour, baking powder, cocoa and sugar. Get another bowl and combine the eggs, milk and oil. Now mix all that is contained in the two containers. Once you\’re done mixing, you pour the mixture into the muffin liners in the pan through the use of a spoon, with about one third of the paper as allowance for the rising of the cupcakes.

Then, you place the pan into the oven for a period of ten minutes. When the time\’s already up, you can try to check for the cupcakes with the use of a toothpick. If they already indicate being cooked, you now remove the tray from the oven and allow the cupcakes to cool for one hour. You can now spend time decorating the cakes with sugar paste, icing and sprinkles. At last, you have baked really cool cupcakes that can be featured in a cake blog.
