AltroFood friends, do you have any leftover cake or sponge cake? Then you are just in the right place! Today, in fact, we really wanted to do something different than usual… a super recipe fun, colourful And nice to be prepared in a very short time to make friends and relatives smile: the very popular ones Cake Pops!
What are cake pops
Let us guess, you’ve never heard of it? In reality it is a sort of lollipop made, however, with some sponge cake, some leftover cake or, if you have them at home, some snacks. We, for example, made them with a donut that we had left in the pantry.
In practice they are therefore cake balls covered with dark chocolate and chopped hazelnuts or colored sugar pralines.
The truth is that you can indulge yourself as much as you want to decorate them and one thing is certain: the more there are colourful the more beautiful they are! In addition to being perfect at the end of an aperitif, they are ideal to prepare for a birthday party, for children or, given that Valentine’s Day is approaching, even to surprise your other half!
But where do these wonderful sweets come from? Well yes, cake pops arrived from America just over ten years ago to recycle pastry leftovers that were not used. In truth, however, what made them truly iconic was precisely their shape, very similar to that of a lollipop. In short, now that we have introduced them properly, the time has finally come to find out how to make cake pops! You are ready?
