As a few of you would know, I have a little obsession with Bakerella's cake pops.
Well I have been trying quite a few combinations, but the whole cooking the cake/cooling/processing/shaping/chilling......and on and on it goes....I wanted to find a quick and easy way.
Thought I'd share this, which the basic recipe that came with the cutest cupcake molds, for making cake pops (and just wish it was my invention!)
Sorry for all the photo's you are about to endure :P
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51wWnNcrlzL._SS400_.jpg)
OREO COOKIE POPS/BITES
300g Oreo’s (comes in a twin pack 300g or 2 x single 150g packets)
100g cubed Cream Cheese (softened & at room temperature) full fat is probably best to ensure they adhere to the stick
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3503.jpg)
Place the full 300g of Oreo’s into *:, and process for 15 seconds, speed 5 or until you have fine crumbs.
Add in the cubed/soft cream cheese, and program 2 minutes & 30 seconds on :: speed.
The mix will combine together similar to dough.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3494.jpg)
Using a heaped Tablespoon amount (if using the cupcake pop mold), roll into balls and place on a tray with greaseproof paper, and pop into the fridge to chill for at least 20-30 minutes.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3496.jpg)
Once cooled, place into cupcake mold, squeeze shut and wipe away excess from edge of mold.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3509.jpg)
Gently remove the cake from the base of mold, and tap base gently on a flat surface (to help with a flat bottom shape) and place in the fridge to chill well, in readiness for dipping in chocolate & decorating.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3518.jpg)
Finished product

(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3582.jpg)
Of course you don't need a mold.....just leave in ball shape or whatever shape you choose.
A plastic egg container (like lock & lock), is great for transporting the pop bites, or letting the base of cake pops set.
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3587.jpg)
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3545.jpg)
Any left over chocolate can be poured into a silicone muffin tray, set then pop and store in airtight container for the next time (as long as there are no crumbs).
(http://)(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/104_3542.jpg)
The cake pop mold can be purchased from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Cupcake-POP-Mold_W0QQitemZ130449502363QQcategoryZ13926QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D4752486187945313332

Maddy - I'm not really sure about freezing them. My only concern with freezing them before dipping, would be maybe excess moisture, which will spell disaster for dipping in the chocolate. I know I have rolled them up and left in the fridge for a couple of days, before dipping....and they were fine. Or this last lot, I finished them completely then have stored them in an airtight container in the fridge. You would just need to let them sit out a little before eating.....so no one breaks a tooth.
Using a packet of Arnotts mint slice biscuits & 40-50g cream cheese is really lovely too (my fave so far)
johnro - thanks to the instructions I made this for an end of year treat for one of my classes but was lazy and left the mixture as a ball, used melted white choc, some slithers of spearmint leave lollies and some glazed cherries to produce a mini Christmas pudding - students loved them and they were more popular than the pudding using left over fruitcake.
RoxyS - I made Granny Cookie Pops - I started out intending to make teapots but found it way too fiddly so ended up with these, which I am quite happy with. I used a couple of 500g blocks of butter to put my sticks in for putting the pops in the fridge to set them as I didn't have any polystyrene. Also found that because of the heat I had to keep popping the rolled up "pops" back into the freezer to keep them going too soft as they kept falling off the sticks. Once I got that sorted it was fairly easy going.
BellaBear - I borrowed your idea and made them into little Christmas puddings for my daughter's Christmas concert tonight. I just half dipped them in white chocolate and then let turned them immediately back over so the chocolate would run a bit. The "holly" is made out of partially melted chocolate, shaped and painted and then stuck on with melted white chocolate. I'm really proud of them for a first attempt. Thanks for the recipe!!
LeeJ - I love these although I often eat more mix then I make balls. A tip for the Christmas puddings is to buy spearmint leaves for the leaves, and jaffas halved for the holly.
JanineRK - I made these yesterday and decorated them as plum puddings (like BellaBear's) - they were SO yummy and a HUGE hit at the Christmas party we went too - thanks so much for sharing.
Cookie - I love these. The decoration isn't anything marvellous, maybe next time.
KarenH - Made these tonight for the first time, and had some difficulty with the moulding step. When I came to dipping them, I used the Nestle Melts (dark choc and white choc) and just melted the choc in the microwave. The mixture seemed very thick and gluggy, and seemed to "congeal" on the cake pop, rather than coat it nicely and smoothly. Any tips on how to get the choc a bit thinner and smoother? Having said all that - while each cake pop is far from perfect if you inspect them closely, en masse they look quite spectacular!
maddy - Karen, just make the balls bigger, before putting in the moulds. I make them about a heaped Tbsp. amount. You will get excess mix ooze out, but that means the mould has filled correctly, and you will get that lovely cupcake shape. Keep the excess, and add it to another ball if on the small size. You'll get the hang of it. I also only take 2 out of the fridge at one time, as the chocolate balls stay firm enough for shaping. If you take the whole plate out, they may get too warm and soft to mould into the cupcake shape.
As for the chocolate, I too use nestle melts. Melt gradually on 50% power. I then add to it 1-2 Tablespoons of melted copha. Now what I think makes the dipping really easy and gives the chocolate a good dipping consistency, is using a little electric fondue pot.
It keeps the chocolate warm, and a nice runny enough consistency. K-mart sell them too for around $12 (on special) - $19.00. I first melt the chocolate in the microwave then transfer it into this fondue pot. Any excess chocolate I have left over, I then pour into silicone cupcake moulds, chill and store in an airtight container for next time. You just need to make sure that there is no crumbs in the chocolate. Alternatively, the chocolate will thicken up as it cools down, so give it periodic bursts in the microwave (at 50% power) and a good stir, to re-heat and keep thin enough for dipping. Hope that helps you.
KerrynN - Well the Puffle Pop Cakes were a success! For those of you who don't know, Puffles are the pets of the penguins that live on Disney's Club Penguin. I used coloured coconut for their hair, and coloured white Nestle chocolate melts using powdered colouring for the bodies. For the sticks, I got some balloon sticks from Spotlight and DH cut them in half. Mini marshmallows for the mouths and eyes. I used feed corn (left over from another craft activity) to stand them up in. Worked OK but as soon as one moved the others close by tended to shuffle about too, so I would try something else next time. Oh and they tasted good too.
Denzelmum - Made this, no cake - just Cookie Pops. Decided to make plain ball and heart shape (using IKEA silicone mold). Big hit for the party. My only issue I didn't put them properly on the vase so can't balance and make it standing nicely. Ended up put most of them in the tray, but everyone really enjoy it. Maybe next time using TimTam instead of Oreo.
Moo2 - Oh Maddy! The mint slice ones! We love them and I haven't even coated them yet. Will definitely have to make another couple of batches for Xmas as these ones are not going to last past tomorrow!
johnro - I made 2 batches yesterday - one with white tim tams with a handful of cranberries thrown in with the biscuits as well as the mint slice variety into which I put some pistachios.
maddy - I bought Speculaas (Dutch spiced biscuit) the other day, so I will make some balls with them. I think the spice flavour will be perfect with the chocolate, and for Christmas. I do still favour mint slice, though tim tams are very popular too.
keiramax - Always an inspiration Maddy thanks for sharing. I've attached my attempts at clown pops for my DS 1st birthday. I couldn't make them the same so made the decision to make each one different.
KimmyH - Here's my first attempt at cake pops. I used some leftover Bimby choc cake I had in the freezer and cream cheese. The taste isn't as wow as Oreos would be but a good use of cake off cuts. Made a bouquet for a friends birthday then played around with decorations for the children. Thanks Maddy for the recipe and tips.
Amy - My first attempt at these.... maybe in 20 years mine will look as good as Maddy's. To be fair I was in a big hurry, was trying to dip and decorate them 30 minutes before I was supposed to be at the party. I did tim tams for plain chocolate and mint slices for choc mint.
-
Wow, they look amazing. Gotta get one of those moulds.
-
Absolutely loved the tutorial Maddy and as usual your photos are fabulous. :)
-
Thanks maddy, those instructions are going to make it so much easier for me when I do mine. The philly you used - that is the one in the block? Low fat or full fat - does it make a difference to the setting capabilities?
-
Yes, I just used the full fat block of c/c. I don't think using lite cheese would effect it at all ???
Would be interested to see. The only possibility is it may be more softer, which could cause problems for dipping (if using a stick)....eg. the cake falling off the stick when dipping :P
-
Maddy I am inspired. I read in the paper this morning that Cake Pops are taking over from cup cakes and macarons as the new 'in' thing. Are they only for little girls or is it something everyone is enjoying? You can see I am behind the times re this.
-

LoL....they've been around quite awhile, but Bakerella projected them to another level!
The decoration is totally optional.....here's some pics....not mine though.

It really is endless what you could create!
Have a look at Bakerella's blog.....so many ideas http://www.bakerella.com/category/pops-bites/
-
I can't wait to try these, my mould arrived yesterday :) they look so good, thanks for all the photos
-
Thanks Maddy. They are amazing. The blog is very inspiring.
-
Thanks for this Maddy, timing is perfect. We are expecting high 30º next week and I have DD's 6th b'day party next weekend so was wanting to make some cake pops but was thinking I didn't want to put the oven on so these will be perfect. I have bought lower fat Philly cheese so will let you know how they go. Can you freeze them, do you think? If so, would you freeze them before or after you dip them in the chocolate?
-
Wow....you are and these are amazing Maddy!
-

Your pics again Maddy are fabulous - thanks to the instructions I made this for an end of year treat for one of my classes but was lazy and left the mixture as a ball, used melted white choc, some slithers of spearmint leave lollies and some glazed cherries to produce a mini christmas pudding - students loved them and they were more popular than the pudd using left over fruitcake. I am planning to make them again in the next week so will post the pics (but won't be the quality of your photos - I asked a couple of questions re your pics following your post of the choc cake.
Thanks maddy - cheers
Robyn :)
-
Thanks for the feedback Maddy. I will probably make them a couple of days before and just store them in the fridge as you say. Will try and remember to take photos. Your photos are great. I am making them for a Pink & Purple Picnic party so have to think of ways to decorate them. Liked the look of the cup & saucer ones that Bakerella had done.
-
Glad they were enjoyed Robyn :) Perfect way to make little Christmas puds.
Roxy.....can't wait to see what you make. Edible glitter always wins the girls over too ;)
-
Thanks for posting this, I have the cake pop book and having been meaning to have a try.
I am off to order the cupcake mold, they are so cute.
Hugs Quasar

The mold supplier in America must be wondering why the sudden rush for the cupcake mold Maddy - I've ordered another 3 for presents. You should be getting a spotters fee ;) ;)
-
Wow these are great, can't wait to make them.
Going to add them to the chrissy hampers. Thanks!!!
-
Maddy,
These are truly amazing! You're so clever. I love them. I might have to add them to my Christmas wish list. (It keeps growing!!!) :D My poor husband never knows what I'm going to ask for next.
Thanks for all the gorgeous photos, they really show how easy they are to make.

LoL.....I was thinking the same thing :D
Hence, wishing it was my invention ;)
I noticed they have sold out at the moment, but I'm sure they'll come back again soon.
If you don't have the mold, you can make them Bakerella's way.
Here is her instructions:
Begin to shape into cupcakes using a small flower-shaped cookie cutter. (see below) Take the chilled ball and roll it into more of an oval and then slide into cookie cutter. Push it into cutter until about half fills the cutter and the rest sticks out of the top in the shape of a mound. Then push the shaped cupcake carefully out of the cookie cutter from the bottom. Set right side up on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. Continue with remaining balls.

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ifc8wjPbTDI/SAGZMNyOljI/AAAAAAAAALs/PGymlI8LhBg/s400/cupcake_pops_08.jpg)
Once shaped, cover and return to freezer. (5-10 minutes)
TIP: You can leave them covered in the refrigerator overnight if you want to do the dipping on the following day.
Then proceed with the dipping process

That looks pretty easy maddy - the cookie cutters are readily available in home shops and much cheaper than the molds & postage.
Trawling through my Christmas folder last night I found a couple of items I have made in the past (Christmas truffles using fruit mince & Choc-mint truffles) which I think would be quite suitable for these little cupcake molds. They are both rolled into balls, set in the fridge to harden up then dipped in chocolate so I am going to give them a go. Maybe the taste is more an adult taste but I know more adults than kids so will give it a go.

They are more fiddly, time consuming and harder to get them all same.
Personally, the mold was money well spent IMO ;) so quick and easy......that's the reason why the Mum invented it.....clever woman! 8)
-
Thanks for this info Maddy, i looked at making these last year and never got round to it, i have a double kids birthday party on the weekend so think i may try them, where can i get the sticks you use?? spotlight??
-
Maddy, where do you buy edible glitter - it sounds fabulous? Hope it is something I can get in Kalgoorlie. Will check back tomorrow as M&D are heading up here from Perth so may be able to bring some if I can let them know where to get it. Thanks for the info. Also be interested to know where to get the sticks too. Have a place in town that might sell them but will be interested to know where you source yours from.
-
Hi willowfox & roxy......the sticks can be purchased at spotlight or cake decorating stores, but you will pay more for less.
I have been purchasing them through ebay, much cheaper.
I use the 6 inch paper lollipop sticks. You can use cookie sticks, but they are thicker, and will pay more for them.
Here's a link to the ones I have just purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120648953834&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Only $3.85 for 50 sticks including postage. Of course I bought 4 packets of them ;)
Edible glitter
Also bought at spotlight/cake deco stores, and there are many available through ebay and online stores.
I like to use one called rainbow dust.....it's silver hologram colour, and reflects so many pretty colours.
(http://i618.photobucket.com/albums/tt266/nachothecat/silver-hologram.jpg?t=1290467485)
Glitters are great for cupcakes as well. There's so many colours available, you can go glitter mad! ;D
-
Thanks Maddy. I forgot to check in earlier so have missed the chance to get mum to buy me the glitter. Have to get a supply for next time. Saw some coloured plastic sticks like you would use for cheese and nibblies at a $2 type shop today so might give those a go for this time round - come in a pack of 30 so interesting to see if any get broken.

Here are my Granny Cookie Pops - I started out intending to make teapots but found it way too fiddly so ended up with these, which I am quite happy with. I used a couple of 500g blocks of butter to put my sticks in for putting the pops in the fridge to set them as I didn't have any polystyrene. Also found that because of the heat I had to keep popping the rolled up "pops" back into the freezer to keep them going too soft as they kept falling off the sticks. Once I got that sorted it was fairly easy going.
-
Yay for the Grannies - lot of work RoxyS, love the block of butter idea. Don't you just hate it when the phone rings when you are in the middle of making things like this ;) ;)
-
They look wonderful Roxy.

I think I can see myself in one of those photos Roxy. :D :D :D :D :D
-
Just fabulous Roxy :D Hope the girls enjoyed them.
Re: the butter.....very ingenious!
Did you use plastic sticks?....that would also be the reason for them slipping off too.
I usually take 3 out of the fridge at a time for dipping, for that reason as well.
-
No, Maddy I used the bamboo half kebab sticks that I was able to get at Coles.
The party is tomorrow and my idea is to put the cake pop sticks into 2 marshmallows with musk lifesavers up the stick and then put them into an icecream cone filled with coloured popcorn. Will be leaving the cakes in the car fridge until just before they are needed and then popping them into the cones. Will take another photo. It is a picnic party so thought this was an easy way of handing them out and the lolly part of the eats out.
-
Roxy everyone will love them. Clever you.
-
:) Maddy, did you buy the moulds from America online, as ebay has that product as sold out.
i would love to buy them.
Robyn
-
Well the party is over and I was happy with the way these turned out. Thought I would share a photo. If the photo is too small just double click on it and it will come up larger.

Roxy.....Bravo! What wonderfully presented party favours for the girls. Love it :D
-
Well done Roxy, if only they knew how much work went into them :-)) :-))
-
Well done Roxy, you should be very proud of them.
-
Wow, they're awesome! Clever chicky. well done

I borrowed your idea and made them into little Christmas puddings for my daughter's Christmas concert tonight. I just half dipped them in white chocolate and then let turned them immediately back over so the chocolate would run a bit. The "holly" is made out of partially melted chocolate, shaped and painted and then stuck on with melted white chocolate. I'm really proud of them for a first attempt.
Thanks for the recipe!!
-
So you should be BB, they are gorgeous.
-
I love these ;D
Although, I often eat more mix then I make balls :o
A tip for the christmas puddings is to buy spearment leaves for the leaves, and jaffas halved for the holly :)
-
They look lovely. I'm making some tomorrow as DD always takes goodies when she has to work the weekend and this is the choice for this weekend.
I use tiny pieces of green and red cherries for the holly on mine.

Reading your post Cookie brought back memories of using Glace Angelica when I was at school to make leaves for decoration on cakes.We use to nibble at it when the teacher wasn't looking. :-)) ; :D
-
Bellabear......your puds are too cute!
Can't wait to make these myself 8)
-
I remember cutting up glace angelica to decorate cakes too. Apart from 100's and 1000's there wasn't a lot else.
-
I made these yesterday and decorated them as plum puddings (like BellaBear's) - they were SO yummy and a HUGE hit at the Christmas party we went too - thanks so much for sharing!!!! :D
-
So glad they were a hit JanineRK.....it makes a nice change to the usual little christmas cake puds.
Working on a Jaffa one, so hopefully will post that tomorrow ;)
-
DD had trouble unmolding the oreo filling from the cupcake mold Maddy and she is wondering if that was because she used low fat philly. Ended up rolling them into balls, enough for the amount of children there, and decorating the birthday cake with them.
-
Awww.....that looks fantastic Judy!
She did a wonderful job 8)
I would say because you had high heat today, they probably got a little too warm to unmould successfully. You really need to take a couple out balls out of the fridge at a time, then mould them. It is a pain going backwards and forwards, but it does work better ;)
Did she do that? or did she take the whole lot out of fridge at once? That would probably be the reason.
I made more today (jaffa ones), and didn't have that issue.
-
I'm not sure maddy, will have to check with her. It was her first attempt and she doesn't get on here much to see all your beautiful work and instructions. I liked the way she decorated the satay sticks with curling ribbon - she said it was really easy to do. I'm on DH's computer and it was my first attempt at putting a picture onto the forum - different machine so I had a bit of trouble getting the picture bigger unfortunately.
-
The sticks do look fantastic! You would think they would be quite fiddly by looking at them.
I might have to pinch that idea :)
-
Oh no! Why did I look at this thread? I don't need to buy sticks and a cake pop mould. I don't, don't don', don, do, done!
(http://www.thedishforum.com/smilies/laughing/muttley.gif)
Seriously, thanks maddy. The only cake pops I'd seen were ones that used cake and buttercream icing mixed together. I like the idea of cream cheese. Can you mix cream cheese with cake as well as oreos do you think?
-
Can you mix cream cheese with cake as well as oreos do you think?
Absolutely. The cake/icing combo can get sickly sweet, especially with a chocolate coating, so cream cheese is a better alternative.
You will have to store them in fridge if not being consumed for a period of time.
Did you buy the cupcake mould? I couldn't tell if Mutly the dog is pulling my leg :D I do love that little jiggy!
-
Can't wait to see what you make MJ.
-
Judy your DD did a fantastic job,lovely looking cake.I can just see in the photo that the children were holding off devouring it while you took the photo. :D :D
-
I sent the link showing the moulds to my best friend quite a while back and blow and behold, she's bought me one for Christmas! Only problem is, it's stuck in the post somewhere between here and the US. Should be arriving soon I hope.
Can't wait to get it!
Happy dance!!!
;D
-
They just wanted to grab the cake pops CC and they are the perfect size for little kids. Although they like the concept of a birthday cake, not too many really want to eat it so DD was going to turn the cake itself into individual trifles - now that's something they will eat so at least the cake didn't go to waste. :-))
-
Moulds were out of stock. I just got the sticks. Mutley has disappeared from my post! :-\
-
Moulds were out of stock.
MJ, was that from ebay, or direct from her website? www.mylittlecupcakepop.com
-
They look amazing! :)
Oreos used to be dairy free - I'm not sure if they still are, but if they are you could make these with Toffutti "Better Than Cream Cheese" for a vegan / dairy free option.
-
I only tried eBay. I'll check her site. Thanks! Oh, and Mutley's back! Must have just been my computer....
-
:o With $30 postage, I decided not to bother. The mould only costs $5.95.
-
Oh your kidding!!!! I didn't look into the postage cost :o
On ebay I think the postage was around $11.04 U.S.
Total amount was $17.22 Aus. including postage.
-
No, not kidding. $35.95 US.
-
I think I'll have a look for some moulds when I next venture down to the kitchen shop. They sound so easy and look so nice.
Look out DD workplace.
-
My mould arrived in the mail today! Yippee, looking forward to using it on the weekend. I have the best, best friend in the world for buying it for me for Christmas.
Just for everyones info. The lady in the US told my friend that there will soon be a distributor in Australia! With a bit of luck, the postage will be minimal and hence make them more affordable. Not sure when this will happen but worth keeping a lookout.

Well that would be a wise move on behalf the creator......she'll make a killing out of those little plastic moulds.
Isn't it amazing how such a simple idea like that, following a fad, could be a very good nest egg *sigh*......might get my thinking cap on and try and invent something too! :D
P.S......making some more later using chocolate mint slice biscuits......will post later ;)
-
Ha ha maddy, you did browse the biscuit aisle :D :D That sound a great filling to me. I wondered about Kingston bikkies too, used to love them.
-
now THAT Got my attention!!!! :D :D
-
now THAT Got my attention!!!! :D :D
These trump the oreo ones for sure!
Too dark for a photo, so will post it tomorrow :)

I've decided to give these a go. DD is having a mob here Wednesday evening so I thought she could try them on them. Just a few dumb questions. I'm sure it's mentioned somewhere but I couldn't see it.
Making the cake pop is no drama. After they are chilled do I coat the entire thing with chocolate and then 'ice and decorate it'?
Or do you only coat the top in white chocolate and then decorate it?
Thanks.
-
You can do either Cookie.
Submerge the whole lot in choc then decorate the top, or dip the bottom first - set - then different colour on top......or simply just dip the tops.
It really depends on what you could be bothered doing at the time ;) Sometimes I just keep it in a ball shape, and plonk the lot in then sprinkle it it ;D
-
Maddy, thank you so much. :-* :-*I can't wait to make some and try them.
-
Cookie, using a packet of Arnotts mint slice biscuits & 40-50g cream cheese is really lovely too (my fave so far)
I had some made to take a photo, but the kidlets ate them before I could! :D
Hope you'll post a photo?
-
I sure will. Thanks again.
-
I love these. Here's the photos. The decoration isn't anything marvellous, maybe next time.

They look delicious Cookie. I love the decorating. :)
-
They look fab cookie! :) I love your chocolate swirls!
-
Any left Cookie - they look great.
-
If I made these I know I wouldn't leave them alone but they look so good Cookie. ;)
-
Yum! I'm on holidays in Bremer Bay and don't have my beloved Hermie, but I'll be making these when I get home, for sure!
-
Made these tonight for the first time, and had some difficulty - so I thought I might ask the experts for some tips! Firstly, when I put the balls into the cake pop mould, one of the sides came out OK and the other one looked flat and didnt have the same "ridges" and marks that the mould had, and also there was a kind of ridge thing where the 2 sides of the mould should meet, and the left over cake squeezed through. So I obviously need more practice putting the dough into the mould - maybe the balls were too big or too small ??? ???
When I came to dipping them, I used the Nestle Melts (dark choc and white choc) and just melted the choc in the microwave. The mixture seemed very thick and gluggy, and seemed to "congeal" on the cake pop, rather than coat it nicely and smoothly. Any tips on how to get the choc a bit thinner and smoother?
Having said all that - while each cake pop is far from perfect if you inspect them closely, en masse they look quite spectacular!
I am looking forward to trying them again with some tweaks, and getting much better at them before DS1's birthday in April ;D
-
Perhaps your chocolate seized or was a bit overcooked? It should have been nice and smooth. ???
-
I had also wondered about trying to do these with Quirky Jo's raw cacao treat balls, instead of the oreo cookie mix
http://quirkycooking.blogspot.com/2010/02/raw-cacao-treat-balls.html
but thought I should perfect the method first before I start playing around with it too much.
Could also try dipping them in Quirky Jo's homemade chocolate - but again that might require more skill than I have at the moment ;)
-
I think maddy adds a bit of copha or oil to thin it down KJH. My DD had trouble with the mould I gave her too.
-
I added about a tablespoon of melted copha to the chocolate. I t seems to help.
-
Karen, just make the balls bigger, before putting in the moulds. I make them about a heaped Tbsp. amount. You will get excess mix ooze out, but that means the mould has filled correctly, and you will get that lovely cupcake shape. Keep the excess, and add it to another ball if on the small size. You'll get the hang of it ;) I also only take 2 out of the fridge at one time, as the chocolate balls stay firm enough for shaping. If you take the whole plate out, they may get too warm and soft to mould into the cupcake shape.
As for the chocolate, I too use nestle melts. Melt gradually on 50% power. I then add to it 1-2 Tablespoons of melted copha. Now what I think makes the dipping really easy and gives the chocolate a good dipping consistency, is using a little electric fondue pot
Like this one......
(https://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Modules/ShowImage2.aspx?classid=43&objectid=1650942&name=LargeImage&variant=0)
It keeps the chocolate warm, and a nice runny enough consistency. K-mart sell them too for around $12 (on special) - $19.00. Also can get online at POK: https://www.petersofkensington.com.au/Product/ProductInfo.aspx?id=1650942&cid=488
I first melt the chocolate in the microwave, then transfer it into this fondue pot. Any excess chocolate I have left over, I then pour into silicone cupcake moulds, chill and store in an airtight container for next time. You just need to make sure that there is no crumbs in the chocolate.
Alternatively, the chocolate will thicken up as it cools down, so give it periodic bursts in the microwave (at 50% power) and a good stir, to re-heat and keep thin enough for dipping.
Hope that helps you :)
-
Thanks so much for the hints and tips maddy and everyone else! I have got copha now and can borrow a small fondue thing, so am to have a second go, and see if I can make improvements.
I took my first batch to work (thinking them failures, and the "seagulls" there eat most anything ;)) and got rave reviews anyway ;D
They certainly are fun to do, and I can see that it would be addictive playing around with them!
By the way maddie - where do you get your coloured candy coating from? I cant seem to find it in the supermarkets here .......
-

They don't stock them. You'll find them at cake decorating stores/supplies, and I know spotlight sell them too.
Your best to look online for them, as I have found them to be cheaper that way.
You can also just colour white choc melts with powdered candy(chocolate) oil based powdered colourants.
-
Funny how the Americans call chocolate 'candy'. It threw me for a minute there when I received my cake cup mould and read the recipe on the pack. What do they call chocolate then ???

It is odd, isn't it? I've no idea what they call normal lollies.

Hi all,
I am planning on making these with the Oreo mix for my DS' 6th birthday next Thursday. I want to decorate them as Puffles (from Club Penguin http://clubpenguin.com/) as he is having a Club Penguin party. I have a few questions. I would do a practice run but as we are trying really hard to not eat too much naughty stuff I don't think it would be a good idea...
The plan was to make and decorate them on Tuesday and keep them in the fridge. From reading all of the other posts I assume this would be OK?
Puffles come in multiple colours and have spiky hair. I had white Nestle melts and was going to colour it with Queens liquid colouring but am wondering if there is a better idea?
Also, I was going to use the smaller bamboo skewers which I see others have done, but I wanted to check if this worked out OK or if I should make the effort of getting "proper" lolly pop sticks?
Thanks in advance,
Kerryn
-
KerrynN I could be wrong, but I was under the impressions that the Queens liquid colouring would seize the chocolate and that you need to use a powder. Hopefully someone can confirm this either way so Tuesday goes as smoothly as possible for you :)
-
I used it for some that I did and it didn't seize but for some reason it is not recommended - they use a powder don't they maddy?
-
From what I understand, the normal Queens food colouring is water-based, and wont mix properly with the chocolate, Apparently cake decorating shops sell a powder for colouring chocolate which is oil-based and mixes in well. Alternatively, you you can get pre-coloured candy melts, which are just like coloured choc melts - again from cake decorating shops or Spotlight.
Good luck!
-
Yep, Karens right. Queens colour will seize the choc.
As an alternative, you can make a royal icing, and pipe that for spiky hair and let set (then you can use the water based colouring).
Re bamboo sticks......it may work, but it won't be as stable on the skewers, like the thicker lolly pop sticks. Try dipping the skewer in melted choc first, then insert into cake and let set.
Hope it works out for you.....let us know how you go :)
-
We want to see pictures!! ;D
-
Well the Puffle Pop Cakes were a success! For those of you who don't know, Puffles are the pets of the penguins that live on Disney's Club Penguin. The look like this:
(http://www.flickr.com/photos/59055494@N05/5414691347/) http://www.flickr.com/photos/59055494@N05/5414691347/
I used coloured coconut for their hair, and coloured white Nestle chocolate melts using powdered colouring for the bodies. For the sticks, I got some balloon sticks from Spotlight and DH cut them in half. Mini marshmallows for the mouths and eyes. I used feed corn (left over from another craft activity) to stand them up in. Worked OK but as soon as one moved the others close by tended to shuffle about too, so I would try something else next time. Oh and they tasted good too.

Thanks to Tina, my "official photographer" for the day. Thanks to everyone on the forum for your advice too.
Ummm I have posted photos to Flickr and tried to add them here but they aren't working.... and now I can't see how to add photos at the bottom of the post either..... I will add the links to the photos instead.
-
They look amazing.
-
Your puffle pop cakes are fantastic Kerryn - boy you must have been busy in the lead up to this birthday party. Congratulations, lucky 6 year old ;)
-
they are just soooo cute :D
-
They looks so good Kerryn. :)
-
Fabulous job Kerryn :D Just love the coconut hair!
-
Thanks everyone! I had fun making them and ma thinking of how I can do them again...
-
Made this for DD's 6birthday, no cake - just Cookie Pops. She even helped to make and decorate. Decided to make plain ball and heart shape (using IKEA silicone mold). Big hit for the party. My only issue I didn't put them properly on the vase so can't balance and make it standing nicely. Ended up put most of them in the tray, but everyone really enjoy it.
Maybe next time using TimTam instead of Oreo..
-
:D they look great.
Giving me ideas for my kids partys comming up soon.
thanks,
Robyn
-
Also nice Denzelmum is to use choc mint slice biscuits (using less cream cheese), chocolate chip biscuits etc.....the list is endless really.
I did indulge a little :P with buying a cake pop stand.
I have been asking hubby for.....forever.....just to drill some holes in some wood, so I have a good sturdy stand.
Well.....waited too long, and found this perfect acrylic (ridiculously priced and huge postage :P) from ebay.
(http://img.auctiva.com/imgdata/3/2/7/0/4/2/webimg/458912497_o.jpg)
That will teach him for being too slow! LOL ;D
I make them often, so I thought it justified the price 8)
-
It sure does maddy, with all the cake pops you make it has to make things easier for you. It shows them off beautifully.
-
wow yes...they look wonderful although still think overly sweet looking...very well done though...although everyone knows how clever you are and yes that will teach DH although think the clear acrylic stand shows off better than a wood one would even though i love wood..just gorgeous and did you make the flowers as well or are they bought?? Also are the sticks reusable or throw away??
-
Maddy that is a visual spectacle - you certainly know how to display in a wonderful manner! :) If oreo pups featured on my menu as regularly as you produce them I would not hesitate in such a purchase either! :D :D
-
Oh no.....they're not my cake pops.....they were the photo on the ebay picture 8)
Love the colours though. They have used fondant in a silicone mould to get the flowers.....it is very pretty I think.
My stand arrived today, but I plan to use it soon ;)
-
;) ;) Could have fooled us maddy, yours are always just as good.
-
proof i was fooled just didnt know if you made the tops or not lol....a big compliment haha :) :) oh well look forward to seeing your cake pops in the stand then maddy ;D
-
Very pretty presentation! I'm pretty sure this is reusable.
Maddy - what about biscuit without cream, say granita or Nice, does it work well to for this?
-
Any biscuit you would like the eat works D/Mum......and you don't need to use cream cheese either.
Originally cake pops are made with crumbled cake, and butter icing (flavoured or plain)
It's just a matter of experimenting and combining what you like.
I like using biscuits as it's quicker then cooking the cake first, then crumbling it etc.
-
Thanks, Maddy!
-
But the biscuits taste sooooo....... much nicer than the cake crumbs - I used this recipe at Xmas for mini Xmas pudds - melted white choc and mint leaves and raspberries (the lolly variety) as the custard, holly and berries - for my students instead of the traditional fruit cake and they all loved them. Have to wait until Christmas 2011 for pics though! :D :D
-
Great stand Maddy.
We had some cake pops in Singapore and I must say that I prefer the ones made with biscuits.
-
I have to agree with you Cookie. Tonight I thawed out some carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and make 6 pops in my cupcake mould and although they taste OK, I don't think the kids will like them as much as a biscuit filling. I had so much trouble melting both the brown and white chocolate tonight and they simply are not worth taking a photo of.
-
I had so much trouble melting both the brown and white chocolate tonight and they simply are not worth taking a photo of.
How do you melt your chocolate Judy?
I am having success by melting the nestle melts on 50% power for 1 min., then stir with a knife, then give 10 second bursts (50% power), until the chocolate is almost all runny. I then tip it into my electric fondue pot, add 2-3 Tbsp. melted copha, good stir.....then it's perfect dipping consistency.
I do prefer using biscuits (choc mint slice being my fave!), and I think the firmer consistency stands up well for inserting the sticks and dipping.
I can't wait to show you what I did for a Mothers Day treat.....using the stand :)......but photobucket is having issues and I can't upload my photos yet >:(
My Mum was thrilled!......and the stand I think was worth every cent ;)
-
Maddy, I melted the chocolate this time in the microwave (usually do it in the TMX without any problems) at 50% - sort of like what you said but I add coconut oil to it instead of copha. Maybe I did it a tad too long though as it didn't do what it usually does. Not a problem, no one knew I was making them and in the end I forgot to take them and the bottle of liqueur I made for DD anyway.
Look forward to your lovely pictures.

Told hubby the stand doubles up for cupcakes too :P think he was quietly pleased I bought one, instead of my continual nagging to make one :)
-
maddy that is so gorgeous! where did you find the lacy white cupcake papers?
-
What a stunning display - I'm left speechless and jealous! So much time and love spent on those treats.
-
It certainly works well for a display of both items, certainly well worth buying maddy. Love your photos and admire you for your talent - mine would never look like that in a million years.
-
They are really awesome Maddy.
-
Thank you lovelies :D I enjoy making them.
maddy that is so gorgeous! where did you find the lacy white cupcake papers?
From "House" kitchenware. If your careful unwrapping them, you can re-use them. You can also buy other gorgeous designs on the net.
-
I've just ordered 4 of those little cupcake pop molds. Ca't wait to get them. From her site they were $22.95 + $15.00 postage for the lot.
-
Hi Peps :)....How did you go with them? Are you giving some as presents?
-
Hi Maddy - I challenge you to make some Geelong Cats cake pops ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
LOL Karen.....that would be a challenge! :D
We'll see what happens ;)
-
You can do it maddy ;) Take a pile to the footy and they'd be sold in no time ;D
-
Oh Maddy! The mint slice ones! We love them and I haven't even coated them yet. Will definitely have to make another couple of batches for Xmas as these ones are not going to last past tomorrow!
-
Oh Maddy! The mint slice ones! We love them .......
Same here - I made 2 batches yesterday - one with white tim tams with a handful of cranberries thrown in with the biscuits as well as the mint slice variety into which I put some pistachioes. (http://www.animated-gifs.eu/emoticons-christmas/0003.gif)
-
Pistachios sound good. I'll have to put them in the next batch. :)
-
I bought Speculaas (Dutch spiced biscuit) the other day, so I will make some balls with them. I think the spice flavour will be perfect with the chocolate, and for Christmas.
I do still favour mint slice, though tim tams are very popular too.
-
I don't recall adding anything to the chocolate last year and I didn't have any real trouble with the spreading. However, given the comments rather than using copha (which I read is hydrogenated and therefore Bad), could I add a bit of heated coconut oil to the chocolate?
-

Oh sorry Kerryn...didn't see your question...bit late I know :P
I,m sure coconut oil would work...others suggest vegetable oil...
Thought I'd update with some pics of pops I've since made, in this thread.

OMG Maddy, I will have to put an order in for you to make some for DS birthday. You should have a little cake shop where you would make a fortune selling them.

Maddy as always they are gorgeous! Next time I venture to the cake pops I will try out the coconut oil.

This time using TimTam. Not sure what's wrong with my Nestle white melt, didn't melt properly but run out of time, so just decorate straight without melting choc. Made for friend's daughter 6th birthday. She's happy and the kids are happy, no reason to complain ;)

I have used the white chocolate once for dipping....I don't think it needs as much melting time from memory.....also, check expiry dates on packets....it does make a difference.
-
Thanks for great tips Maddy!

The nutcrackers & gingerbread men were in Bakerella's latest Christmas book. I'm really pleased how they turned out, but good Lordy, those nutcrackers take some time! The chocolate moulds for hats, moustache & nose were sourced from U.S....so I'm not even going to break down the cost of them per pop :P but so far they have been my favourite to make.
-
They are amazing !
I've got all the equip to make cake pops and iced cookies, but not the time. I'm so looking forward to a break for. Work at christmas to play !
I've already marked your posts for cake pops Maddie for my inspiration
-
The patience you must have maddy, they are amazing - and to think they are going to be eaten after all that hard work!
-
Absolutely gorgeous Maddy. Too good to eat.
-
Maddy your cake pops are truly magnificent.The patience needed to produce such exquisite craftsmanship is remarkable 8)
-
A friend battled with cake pops Maddy and I gave her your amazing recipe. She loves them and prefers the biscuit variety.
-
Just WOW!
-
They look amazing!
-
Always an inspiration Maddy thanks for sharing.
I've attached my attempts at clown pops for my DS 1st birthday. I couldn't make them the same so made the decision to make each one different.

I love the clown pops. Well done.
-
Great job keiramax - they look fabulous.
-
They are so cute :)
They will be gobbled up in no time ;D

Love the clowns Keiramax :D
-
Oh keiramax your clowns are lovely, except for the scary one it evoked Stephen king memories! Great job your DS will love them.

Great cookie pops Maddy (as always).
I have some mint slices and tim tams so thought i'd make some of these today. Don't think I'll put them on sticks - will probably just make them look like little christmas puddings instead.

Nothing like the visuals of your tim tam pops Maddy but these tasted delicious - I threw in a handful of dried cranberries together with 125g cream cheese and 2 pkts white tim tams

Here's my first attempt at cake pops. I used some leftover Bimby choc cake I had in the freezer and cream cheese. The taste isn't as wow as Oreos would be but a good use of cake off cuts. Made a bouquet for a friends birthday then played around with decorations for the children. Thanks Maddy for the recipe and tips :)

Yes he is very proud of his effort. Even sanded and stained it for me. Sadly holes are too close and the pops touch each other. Might need to make another!! He originally made it for my lazy Oreo pops (one whole biscuit dipped in chocolate see below). Thanks for fondue tip, off to Kmart to check it out.

Maddy - that is beautiful!!! I think we should start a collection of the photographs of your orders now, Maddy, and in due course, when you're rich and unbelievably famous, we'll all be able to say to people, "Do you know what? I knew her when . . . . . . ." ;D ;D
Seriously, Maddy, - hope this is just the beginning for those magic fingers of yours . . . . and I'm still waiting in line for an e-book!! 8)

absolutely gorgeous maddy, Lily would die for those, pity you don't live in wa ;D

Stunning Maddy,truly stunning 8)

My first attempt at these.... maybe in 20 years mine will look as good as Maddy's ;D
To be fair I was in a big hurry, was trying to dip and decorate them 30 minutes before I was supposed to be at the party :-[
I did tim tams for plain chocolate and mint slices for choc mint :D
-
They look good to me Amy ;D
-
They look lovely Amy, well done!
-
Thanks girls :D :D

Well done Amy. Bet everyone at the party loved them.

It's nice to have a little sweet treat Amy, they look fine to me.
