Cake Pop Christmas Ornaments

Описание: Sweet Potato Cake

2 cups of flour
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoons of ground nutmeg
(Mix all that together in a bowl and set it aside)

3 large sweet potatoes mashed (boiled)
3/4 cups of vegetable oil.
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
(Mix this all together in a separate bow)

•Mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until everything is well incorporated.
•Bake in any baking pan or in a cake pop pan for about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
•When the cake is cooled remove all the sides and top layer of the cake so that there are no hard parts of cake when you crumble it.
• Crumble the cake in a bowl and mix in 1 cup of frosting (any frosting you like)
• Start shaping the dough into balls the size of ping pong balls. Then freeze them for 30 minutes.
• IF you baked yours in a cake pop pan you don't have to do anything to them like what we did with the cake.
• Melt candy melts in the microwave and use any color of food coloring you want to color it. Here is a tip, use a little bit of vegetable oil to pour into your candy melts and smooth the mixture because the food coloring will make it dry.
•Dip a lollipop stick in the candy melts and stick them in the cake balls, remove the excess candy melts from around the cake pop and freeze that for a few minutes.
• Dip your cake balls in the candy melt to coat them completely then set them aside in a cake pop tray to set.
• Decorate them however you like, if you are going to use sprinkles add them to the cake balls when the candy melt is not dry yet that way they can stick .
• You can also pipe details with more candy melts, using a piping bag and a small round piping tip or just cut a little bit off the end of the piping bag, it works just as well.
• Lastly I removed the lollipop stick, and used candy melt to stick the top plastic part of ornaments into the cake pop. I bought some from the store and removed the wire, to just end up with the plastic part. When you serve them just let them know to remove that part. Or you can also make it out of fondant. I decided to save some time and just use the plastic ones I got from the store. ; )
