Cake Pops

Bite-sized treats on a stick, decorated in a variety of ways with countless flavor combinations, cake pops are easy-to-make, fun treats, that are super tasty!

The thing about these cake pops is that you can use just about any cake or frosting combination and make it your own!  

Recipe

Ingredients

1/2 recipe your favorite non-frosted vegan cake or 6 cupcakes
Vegan frosting*
7oz vegan white chocolate**
A few drops vegan food coloring (optional)

Directions

1. Bake the cake according to its recipe's instructions and allow it to cool completely before using in this recipe!
2. Using your hands or a food processor, turn the cake to crumbs.  Add in the frosting bit by bit until you have a non-sticky, dough-like consistency. 
3. Shape the dough into balls and place on a tray or plate to set for a few minutes.  You can leave it at room temperature or place in the fridge if you prefer.  You may want to reshape it afterwards and place back in the fridge so that the shape sticks. 
4. Meanwhile melt the chocolate over medium heat in a stove-safe glass dish***. 
5. Once melted, remove from heat and add a few drops of your desired foot coloring. 
6. Dip the cake pop stick into the white chocolate and insert into the cake pop, then set aside again.  This is important so that the cake pop stays on the stick.  
7. When the chocolate has set, dip the entire cake pop into the white chocolate, coating it entirely, and place it on a cake pop stand to set. 
8. Decorate as you wish, serve, and enjoy!    

Notes

*Make sure that the frosting flavor pairs well with the cake!  Any vegan frosting with a buttercream-like consistency should work, and it can be homemade or store-bought!  No measurement is included since it varies depending on how much cake you're using and how dry or moist it is. I used about 1/4 cup for 6 vanilla cupcakes. 
**I used Pascha vegan white chocolate chips. 
***I simply used a glass measuring cup for this.  I recommend placing the dish in a pot with a few inches of water to create a sort of double boiler.
