Not everyone has come across the name "cake pops", even if we are talking about professional confectioners. However, this sweet treat is suitable for holiday tables like nothing else. Cake recipe pops is very simple.
Nowadays, not a single celebration is complete without the so-called "sweet table", completely dotted with all sorts of goodies. Cakes, pastries, sweets and cookies - all this is an essential attribute of any well-organized holiday: from a children's party to a magnificent wedding or corporate event in a large firm. Most organizers tend to think: “you should not touch what works well” - this means that they are adherents of the classic dessert menu and prefer not to make any changes to it.
To some extent, this position justifies itself - after all, what can be tastier than that or a cake chocolate biscuit. However, many people forget that sweets attract people primarily with their appearance. For example, in a store, after all, no one comes up and takes cupcakes directly from the display case in order to taste each one and choose the best option, in a restaurant, visitors also initially get acquainted with the name and look of the dish using the menu, and only then do order and enjoy your meal. In this regard, an ordinary cake, no matter how tasty it may be, is unlikely to surprise anyone. But if you give it unusual shape, and even strung on a stick, like a lollipop - the situation is changing radically, and it will be very problematic not to pay attention to such a delicacy, even with all the desire. And this sweet delicacy has a very exotic name - cake pops.
Cake pops: what is it and how to eat it
Hearing this name, most of the inhabitants, in best case, scratches his finger at his temple in bewilderment - they are quite rare on sale. Needless to say, an uninitiated person will be able to associate it with cooking only thanks to the prefix "cake" familiar to almost everyone, which literally means "cake" or "cake" in English. Indeed, the idea of cooking chocolate lollipops relatively fresh, and belongs, oddly enough, not to the confectioner himself, thanks to whose efforts cake pops first saw the light, but to the popular foreign blogger Angie Dudley. In 2008, in one of the posts in in social networks she offered new concept visual design of sweets, while leaving the recipe almost unchanged. The idea was accepted by readers with a bang and received a fairly wide distribution around the world.
Returning to the question of what is cake pops, it can really be called a chocolate cake on a stick covered with icing. However, this is only a classic version of its preparation - what will be the filling and coating depends solely on who will be cooking. An interesting form factor of this confectionery, which most of all resembles the famous Chupa-Chups candy, makes it not only original, but even exclusive in its own way.
What are cake pops - types of unusual treats
If we talk about the shape of cake pops, then there is no need to limit ourselves to a round one - this is just a standard look for a product that is easiest to attach to it. How the sweetness will look like in the final version depends solely on the customer’s imagination and the skill of the confectioner: for example, these can be miniature figurines or animal figurines, and from several cake pops made in the form of numbers or letters, you can make a whole inscription that would be very relevant for congratulations. If sweets will decorate wedding table as a dessert, you can make two cake pops in the form of a bride and groom. For a banquet on the occasion of the anniversary, two such products in the form of numbers are suitable, which will indicate the age of the birthday person. Well, for children, such treats can be made in the form of their favorite cartoon characters or comic book characters. By the way, such sweets will be called accordingly - “molded”, which means “formed” in translation. In culinary terminology, they are usually divided into:
- Baked ("baked") - cake pops of an ordinary spherical shape, which is attached to them with the help of kitchen equipment.
- Chopped ("cut") - to give original look For such products, it is customary to use cut-out molds for baking.
As for cooking recipes, here cake pops are divided into the following types:
- Traditional ("traditional") - cakes made with cream and biscuit crumbs.
- Cereals ("cereal") - very unusual option, requiring unusual ingredients: for its preparation are used puffed rice and marshmallow - a mixture of sugar, gelatin diluted in water, syrup and glucose.

How to cook cake pops: various recipes and required ingredients
Do not be afraid of the newfangled name and bizarre, at first glance, form - cake pops are prepared almost as easily as the word is pronounced. This regular pastries, which anyone can cope with cooking - for this you do not need to have special culinary talents, it is enough to stock up on the necessary products, time and patience.
Classic recipe
For cooking you will need:
Ingredients
- chicken eggs (from 5 pieces, raw);
- flour (up to 250 g);
- condensed milk (80-120 ml);
- baking powder (2-3 teaspoons);
- icing or melted chocolate;
- powders and other decorative confectionery items (coconut chips, chopped nuts)
Recipe
The cooking process itself is as follows: Eggs (without shells) are placed in one container and sugar is poured - these ingredients must be turned into a mixture by beating. Then you need to do the same, but with the addition of flour. Place the resulting dough in a baking dish and place in the oven for 30 minutes. As soon as the biscuit has cooled, it will need to be crushed - the easiest way to do this is with a blender. Condensed milk will need to be added to the resulting consistency until the biscuit turns into a plastic mass. Further, from what happened, you can sculpt balls. To keep them on a stick, their diameter should not exceed 3-5 cm, in other words, it is better to make them the size of Walnut or plum.
When all the sweets are molded, they will need to be put in the freezer for a while (up to 30 minutes) to allow them to harden. Now each ball can be fixed on a stick, having previously lubricated the tip on which it will be strung with chocolate to ensure a strong attachment. Finally, in melted chocolate you can gently coat the surface of the balls themselves, and then cover it with powder.Cooking is almost identical to the classic version, except that instead of ordinary chocolate, pre-melt to liquid state will have to be white. To make things easier for yourself, you can use ready-made semi-finished products so as not to knead the dough. As such, you can use an ordinary flour muffin or a chocolate muffin.
Ingredients
- biscuit cooked;
- White chocolate;
- cream cheese (450 g);
- fruit or berry jam(2-4 tablespoons)
Recipe
The cooking process is similar to that described earlier (when using a ready-made biscuit, the dough preparation process is not taken into account): plastic mass from the whipped muffin, mixed with the rest of the ingredients, balls are molded and covered with white chocolate on top. Also, to give the cake more exquisite aroma at the stage of preparing a biscuit, you can additionally use cream cheese and jam.

There are two options for preparing such cakes (cherries will be mentioned as an example for the filling):
Ingredients
- biscuit cooked;
- cherry berries;
- cherry syrup(optional)
Recipe
The berry is placed inside the cake pops at the stage when it is necessary to sculpt balls from the resulting mixture. Each cupcake is carefully cut into two parts, after which one or more wines are placed in the middle of one of them. Then the halves are reconnected, and the balls are placed in the refrigerator to harden. You can add cherry syrup directly to the dough while kneading it - the effect will be no worse than from real berries. If the dish will be served to an adult audience, liquor can also be used as an analogue of syrup. In the same way, any other berry or fruit slices can be used instead of cherries. Raspberry is very popular as a filling for cake pops - its rich and bright aroma It goes well with both icing and all types of chocolate.
Chocolate cake pops
Such an exquisite-looking delicacy can not only be covered with chocolate on the outside, but also have the appropriate taste.
Ingredients

- cocoa powder;
- chocolate or chocolate icing

By the way, it’s better to decorate such pastries with just the same filling that contrasts in taste with chocolate - a sprinkle of nuts or waffles is suitable for this. To give original appearance instead of chocolate, such cake pops can be covered with icing, choosing the right color for it.
To make delicious cake pops, you don’t have to mess around with kneading the dough at all - you can go the simpler way using other ingredients and a slightly different cooking method:
Ingredients
- ordinary cookies (one pack will be enough);
- whipped cream;
- flavored sauces;
- condensed milk
Recipe
The biscuits are crushed or mixed in a blender until a crumbly mixture is formed. For thickening, you can use whipped cream, flavored sauces, condensed milk, or even thick sour cream. Just as in the case with classic version, balls are molded from the resulting consistency and placed in freezer to cool, after which they are coated.
