Cake pop
Cake pops are also called cake lollipops or small cakes on a stick. Cake crumbs are mixed with frosting or cream cheese and formed into small balls before being coated with icing, chocolate or other decorations and attached to lollipop sticks. Pop is the short form of popsicle / lollipop (English lollipop ).
preparation
To make a cake pop, a cake is made into crumbs and mixed with icing, chocolate or cream cheese. Balls are formed from this and a lollipop stick is inserted into each one. Once the mass has solidified, it can be dipped in frosting or melted chocolate and then decorated. Most of the time in making a cake pop is spent decorating it. You can decorate cake pops in the style of the cookie monster from Sesame Street , in the form of soccer balls or as Hello Kitty . Creativity knows no limits. Cake pops can be round, but also have other shapes, e.g. B. Hearts. You can use your hands or tools such as cookie cutters to shape the cake pops. Cake pops are particularly suitable for parties and events where they are served as a dessert or starter. There are now more and more manufacturers of so-called "cake pop makers" who bake round cake pops after filling them with self-made dough. The baking time for 12 cake pops is usually around five minutes.
Trends
The popularity of cake pops rose sharply between 2009 and 2011. Angie Dudley is considered the inventor of cake pops, who developed one of the first cake pop recipes in a small bakery in London. When she published the photos of her pink cake pops on the Internet, the enthusiasm and fascination spread rapidly. Soon afterwards, the cake pops were available in selected department stores in London. Her book Cake-Pop , which she published under the name Bakerella, was on the New York Times bestseller list for six weeks in 2010. In some countries, the retail company specializing in coffee products sells Starbucks cake pops in a variety of flavors.
