Vanilla and Chocolate Cake Pops
While making 3D cakes, you get a lot of cake crumbs and pieces. While I prepared the Pongal Pot Cake, there was a lot of cake and butter cream left over after the completion of the cake. The next day holidays started and I couldn’t do any thing with it. I just placed the cake and the crumbs in a zip lock bag and refrigerated it. Today, I took them out in the morning and brought them back to room temperature. Preparing cake pops is quite interesting. My daughter is a great fan of these chocolate coated beauties. I prepared cake crumbs by grinding the cake pieces in mixer grinder, added the remaining icing to it and made a crumbly dough. Then I shaped it into balls, refrigerated them, coated them with chocolate and decorated with melted chocolate. My daughter came home to find these delicious cuties and was so happy. She couldn’t stop munching it. I have to stop her from polishing the dish off.
These were the cake and crumbs which were lying in fridge for 5 days

Hello mam. Thanks for the recipe. I have tried this but the coated chocolate is not set at room temp and then Ikept the balls in the freeze for 5 min but after that water droplets are come on the chocolate. Can u plz explain why this happen
Thanks
Chocolate should be kept in fridge. And if overheated during melting, it won’t set properly. If using coverture, you need to temper the chocolate before using.
Thanku so much mam. Yes, I m using couverture chocolate. I really don’t know about the tempering process. If you have any video on tempering process please do share. Again Thanku so much.
I haven’t done a tempering video yet. Will make one soon.
