I made the cutest cake pops and chocolate peanut butter Pug for you. These little guys were inspired by a recipe Tablespoon.com. I work with them to put my spin on one of the candies from their site. Not that they did not already covered cute though. Tablespoon the community is full of fun recipes, creative ideas for entertainment and more. I love how they think with categories such as archery, OMG, party and mini.
And you guys know that it's not surprising that I love treats, so when I found this adorable pug cake on their website, I knew I had to reduce the size morsels proportions. But the full-size version is just as fun if you want a big cake.
Very well. Let's get this party started pug.
Here are the goodies you'll need to do 16 Pug Pops.
4 cups crumbled chocolate cake
1/3 cup butter icing
2 tablespoons of peanut butter
background baked wafers
chocolate candy wafers, reserve 16 slices to decorate
medium heatproof bowl over two bowls of insulating small
Wax paper
baking sheet
16 lollipop sticks
Cake Pop Stand
8 Tootsie Rolls
16 black sunflower seeds
32 sugar eyes with black ink pen edible
Pastel confetti sprinkles
Bones candy
Toothpicks. I can not live without toothpick when it comes to cake pops decorated.
Here is a link to my complete instructions for making basic cake pops if you need more help.
- Stir the peanut butter and butter until blended then add the chocolate cake crumbs until completely combined.
- Roll the mixture into 16 balls and place on a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Let the cake rest rolled balls for about 30 minutes, then place in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. When the company, transfer them to the fridge to stay fresh (not frozen) for dipping.
- Melt chocolate wafers with vanilla wafers. Start with vanilla and add a few slices of chocolate at a time until you get a shade of brown. (Note :. You can use peanut butter wafers insead candy chocolate mixture and vanilla)
- When you're ready to dive, take a cake ball in the refrigerator. Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted candy slices and then into the cake ball and dip.
- Make sure the cake ball is completely set and press any excess.
- Before the coating sets, place a slice of chocolate candy on the front - towards the lower half of the pop. Hold in place until the coating dries and place in a cake pop stand until you are ready to decorate.
We use Tootsie Rolls for the ears, confetti sprinkles for languages, sunflower seeds for the nose and sugar eyes to behold. But you have already guessed that one.
- With candy wafer already in position on the pop, dip a toothpick in the melted chocolate and blend two big points on the front of the pop in position for the eyes. Then gently press the sugar eyes just above so that the chocolate around the eyes.
- Dot on the coating in position for the nose and tongue, and attach a sunflower seed and pink confetti sprinkle and let dry.
Then complete the mouth. Use a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate candy slices to apply the coating on top of the slice ... already attached under the nose of sunflower seeds and down the sides of the tongue. Be sure to overlap sprinkle confetti so it looks like a small soft tongue is stuck.
Now for the ears. Cut candy tootsie roll into four equal parts and shape of the hand rounded triangles for ears. Note: microwave sweets for 3-4 seconds to make it easier to shape. Do not overheat.
- Use melted chocolate over to attach the ears and add finishing details to the mouth.
- Draw large black pupils on the eyes with edible ink pen. Feel free to stop here, but if you want to add a few more details, and then continue with me.
- Draw on eyebrows with a toothpick dipped in the coating lighter brown melted candy. Then tiny dot of dark chocolate freckles on each cheek.
- And most importantly, add a little sparkle to the eyes sprinkling of melted slices of white candy.
Adorable!
