Tasty chocolate cake pops

The twins were two today! To celebrate we had a few cakes including these teddy bear cake pops. As I was a bit pushed for time I went for the easiest ingredients I could which means most of it was ready-made. I wanted this to be really simple and fun.

Ingredients To Make Teddy Bear Cake Pops

(Makes about 8 – 10 teddy bear cake pope)

1/2 tub of ready mixed chocolate butter cream icing
1 madeira cake
500g bar of milk chocolate
1 pack of white chocolate buttons
candy eyeballs
chocolate drops
lollypop sticks

Method: How To Make Teddy Bear Cake Pops Recipe

Cut off the sides of the cake and crumble into a bowl.
Mix the icing with the cake crumbs and roll into a ball. It should be quite firm.
Wrap in cling film and put into the fridge for at least half an hour.
Put the sticks half way into the cake balls. I put them back in the fridge for another half an hour as they seem to stay on the stick better .

Melt the chocolate. I prefer to do this over a bowl of boiling water.

Dip the cake pops in the melted chocolate.

To decorate add two buttons for ears, a button with a chocolate drop on for the nose and the candy eyes. I buy the candy eyes from hobbycraft, you can get them from some cake decorating shops or from Ebay. Put in the fridge to set.

To display I use florists foam and stick them at different heights. I had a little helper to give them out.
