Cake balls - and lots of them!

Had a busy few hours today getting lots of cake balls ready to turn into new cake pops tomorrow. Cake pops begin life as a normal sponge cake (the varieties below show a traditional vanilla sponge and a rich red velvet cake). This sponge is then broken up into a fine crumb before being mixed with buttercream or frosting until it forms a truffle like consistency. This can then be chilled slightly and then rolled into balls (or moulded into other shapes) ready for coating and decorating.

I usually teach on a Wednesday morning but it's half term this week so tomorrow I have a few hours when the girls are at nursery when I am going to cake pop like a demon :) There will hopefully be pics to follow to show you the next step of the process and to show you just a few of the infinite designs you can have on your cake pops.
