Cake Pops



Ingredients
Cake Crumbs 4 cups
Frosting, Icing or Jam 1½ cups
Compound Chocolate 500 gm
Dust Colors As per required
Oil ¼ Cup
Sticks 20-25
Clear Plastic Pouch 20-25
Ribbon As Per required

Method
In a large bowl, crumble the cake with the hands (use gloves if You can't stand mess) until no large chunks remain. 
Add icing and mix with fingers until well combined.
Taking equal portions, roll between the hands until round and smooth.
Place on parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze until no longer sticky, but not rock hard, about 1 hour.
Melt the chocolate. 
Dip lollipop stick ends into melted chocolate and insert into cake pops.
Mix the dust colour with few drops of oil and add it to the melted chocolate and, working with one pop at a time dip in melted chocolate until completely covered. Shake off excess. 
Immediately roll in sugars or place decorations on. 
If chocolate dries too fast, you can use royal icing to apply decorations. 
Stick in a thick piece of Styrofoam to dry completely. 
Proceed with remainder of pops.
If desired, place pops in a Cake Pops Gift Box or wrap in lollipop papers and tie with a pretty ribbon.
