Cake Pops, 3rd attempt...
So, this morning's experiment : classy cakepops. Well, those are the ones I am showing you anyway...'cause I think they turned out rather well, considering the new problems I encountered trying to make them. This time, the chocolate melted all right-you can even see that I used some to pipe right on to the pops, but I had to double dip pretty much all the pops because they all cracked. I don't know why, it didn't happen to me before! But, in an attempt to make much smoother balls, I put too much icing I think. So maybe that didn't help. Second problem was, since I always leave the balls overnight in the fridge to set, they all had a very flat bottom which I really don't like, so I will have to start making everything fresh in the morning and putting them in the freezer for a half hour...Third problem : lack of proper decorations .What you don't see in these pictures is that I made some bear cakepops. But they look completely retarded because I can't find all the nice candy to decorate (to make the eyes or colour the mouth...I chose to keep these to myself, since the others look, I think, so spectacular...And last but not least, going back to the icing problem, when there is too much, the pops fall apart when trying to eat them. So it's back to the books! But then, I don't have any more cake pop supplies anyway... Hope you liked the ones that came out right!!

They are beautiful!! Very fancy and delicate! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! Still have to learn a few tricks though...they kept cracking and I had to double dip almost everyone of them...
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with double dipping? C'est pour le 'séchage' entre les 2 dippings? Il doit y avoir une solution pour ça online!!! Ou je suis sûre que ton père peut te faire un custom stand... il est tellement ingénieux!
ReplyDeleteLe double dipping, je n'aime pas parce que ça utilise trop de chocolat, puis les boules sont plus dûres à manger. Il y a plusieurs solutions online-mais ils disent que c'est à cause de trop de icing, pas assez, mettez dans le freezer, certainement pas dans le freezer, you know what I mean. En tout cas, la boule est parfait puis pendant que je décore il y a une crack...anyway, whatever...je continues à essayer!!!
