Chocolate pop cakes recipe

I first fell in love with pop cakes when my friend brought some homemade chocolate pop cakes. I haven’t seen anything like that. Too cute to eat . It was chocolicious!

I made first one for last year and this are the third one. Cake pops are relatively easy to make and very versatile! Kids and adults will love them!

Ingredients :
Pop cakes stand (Styrofoam)
Cake mix
Chocolate frosting (Refer to below recipe)
White chocolate ( I'm don't have enough white chocolate, so I used water and sugar mix for the green drizzle)
Chocolate
1 tbsp shortening
Chocolate frosting
Lollipop stick
Green edible food coloring

Method :
1. Prepare the melted chocolate. In the top of a double boiler, set over simmering water, heat the chocolate and the shortening, stirring until well combined.
2. Crumble entire cake (from cake mix). Add in 1 tbsp chocolate frosting.
3. Form mixture into balls.
4. Dip the lollipop stick (about 1 cm) in the melted chocolate. This will act as a glue.  Keeping your cakepop and stick attached.
5.  Place it into the centre of each cake ball.
6. Dip the popcake in the melted chocolate, swirling quickly to coat completely.
7. Use the reminder chocolate for the drizzle.
8. Place popcakes in the styrofoam to harden.
9. Leave in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
