Alright, I’ll finish V-day just quickly.
My appreciation and admiration for one Miss Bakerella has
increased 10 fold. After attempting cake pops for the first time, her magic
crazy skills now mess with my head.
Although I do know where I went wrong.
-
My mixture was too moist.
- I need to have more patience.
I did try to mold them into hearts, but the mixture kept sticking to my
hands and it just got too messy. I couldn’t change it since I had no more cake.
So alas. Although I think they turned out ok given it was my first time. I did
struggle with the candy coating. It was just supremely thick and took about
half an hour to melt (not helped by the fact I had zero patience and kept trying to quicken the process, buring most of it). I have no idea if that’s normal. Eventually I just
blobbed it on the cake pop and covered it with my hands. Not the most glamorous
of ways, but any other way just ripped the cake off the stick or coated it far
too thick.
Anyway, below is the final product. I was told they tasted
ok – but I think that was a bit of a lie.
