Cake Pops!

super scrummy, they look very effective and are the latest trend at parties. Can be a bit tricky but once you get the hang of it are super easy! I made a ''strawberries and cream version but you can make any flavour your heart desires.

Ingredients:
Your favourite cake recipe or packet cake mix cooked according to instructions (I used Betty Crockers new strawberries and cream cake mix)
1/2 - 1 cup of icing  prepared or use one out of the box
2 blocks of your favorite chocolate (I used white chocolate)
sprinkles of your choice to decorate
lollipop sticks or skewers

Method:
Process the cooled cake until it resembles fine bread crumbs. In a mixing bowl, mix the cake crumbs with the packet icing that comes with the box (I found this was enough but you may need more) until it is well mixed and will form balls in your hand. Roll the mix into approx 20-25 even sized balls of approx a tablespoon each and refrigererate on a tray for around 30 minutes or until cool and firm to touch. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 1 minute increments until chocolate is melted to a smooth consistency then let cool until almost room temperature. Now comes the tricky bit, you will need to move quickly so that the chocolate doesnt set lumpy as you will be working with cold cake balls. Dip your lollipop stick into the chocolate about 1cm then stick it into the ball on the flat bit (the bit that was sitting on the tray) about 3/4 of the way into the ball then dip the ball into the chocolate, let excess chocolate run off and then rotate the cake pop to stop any more from drizzling off and to get a smooth finish then really quickly sprinkle with your sprinkles. Set the cake pop upright in a sturdy cup or foam block until set completely. Repeat with remaining cake balls until all done then refrigerate for another 30 minutes until completely set.
Wrap them in cellopane or clear lolly bags and tie with a pretty ribbon to finish
