Assembling A Cake Pop Wedding Cake: Step-By-Step Guide

Cake pops are a fun and creative way to celebrate a wedding. They can be made by baking a cake, crumbling it into a bowl, and mixing it with frosting to create a dough ball. You can then melt chocolate and dip the cake balls in it, before decorating them with the toppings of your choice. You can also add sticks to the cake pops to make them easier to eat.

How to mix the cake mixture

To make the cake mixture, you'll need to start by crumbling the cake into fine crumbs. You can do this by hand or using a food processor. If you're crumbling by hand, try to make the crumbs as fine as possible. Next, you'll need to mix in the frosting. Start by adding a small amount and gradually add more until you have a dough-like consistency. You don't want to add too much frosting, so add it slowly and mix well. Once you have a dough, use a scoop to create 1 1/2" balls. Place these in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before dipping.

Before you start mixing the cake, you'll need to bake it. Preheat your oven to 325-350 degrees, depending on your recipe. Grease and flour an 11x13 or 9" x 9" cake pan. In a separate bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add milk until you reach your desired consistency. Then, stir together the dry ingredients in another bowl. Mix all the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until all the ingredients are combined and moistened, but some lumps remain. Pour the batter into your prepared cake pan and bake until the top is a light golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, which should take around 25 minutes.

If you're rolling the cake pops by hand, cup your hands to keep the mixture rounded and prevent crumbling. A tablespoon of cake mixture will make a standard-sized cake pop.

Allow the cake to cool. In a bowl, combine butter, powdered sugar and vanilla in a mixer. Beat until light and fluffy. Slowly add milk until you reach your desired consistency.

In a food processor, mix the cake until fine crumbles. If you don't have a food processor, break the cake into pieces by hand until coarse crumbs. Mix in half of the frosting. You don't want to add too much, so start small and add in gradually. Mix in enough to create a dough ball. Use a scoop to create 1 1/2" balls. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before dipping.

About a tablespoon of cake mixture will make a standard-sized cake pop. If rolling by hand, remember to cup your hands to keep the mixture rounded and prevent it from crumbling.

Before you dip your cake pops, melt some chocolate in the microwave. Add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil for every cup of chocolate. This will make the chocolate smooth enough to dip.
