Miss D'Lish - She's Got The "Dish" On ALL That's Delish!

 Hello Kitty Cake Pop's

In honor of my birthday month I am celebrating with my favorite Bakerella recipe. This recipe is too darn cute to not share.....again. I posted this darling recipe in the past but it's back up for those of you who missed out.

All the Directions and Images Below 
are from the Bakerella Website!

Here’s what you will need:

Boxed Mix: Cake and frosting 

Mini Red m&m's

White candy melts

Jumbo Heart Sprinkles

Rainbow Chip Sprinkles

Black Edible Ink Pen

Paper Lollipop Sticks

Styrofoam Block

White Chocolate Chips

BASIC CAKE POP HOW TO:

(Whoops…I left the most important ingredient out of the above picture.)

But, take a look below and you can see how perfectly they work for the ears.

1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can frosting. (I use the back of a large spoon, but it may be easier to use fingers to mix together. But, be warned, it will get messy. Also, you may not need the entire can of frosting, so start out by using almost the entire can and add more if you need to.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and place on wax paper covered cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50)
4. Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package. (30 sec intervals, stirring in between.)
5. Dip the tip of your lollipop stick in a little of the melted candy coating and insert into the cake balls. (Insert a little less than halfway.)
6. Place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.
7. Once firm, carefully insert the cake ball into the candy coating by holding the lollipop stick and rotating until covered. Once covered remove and softly tap and rotate until the excess chocolate falls off. Don’t tap too hard or the cake ball will fall off, too.
8. Place in a styrofoam block to dry.
9. Once dry, draw faces with an edible ink pen and allow ink to dry!

Note: Cake pops are a little more difficult to make than the cupcake pops because of trying to get the candy coating smooth. So, If you haven’t made them before, check out the posts on the Bakerella website for red velvet cake balls and cupcake pops.

• Shape the Hello Kitty heads into a semi-flat oval shape. Insert tip of lollipop stick into some of the melted candy and insert into the bottom of the Hello Kitty head.
• Take two white chocolate chips and dip the bottoms in the melted candy and then place/glue them on the top of Hello Kitty head.
• Stand them up in a styrofoam block to dry. When the ears are firmly attached to the head, dip the entire Hello Kitty head in a bowl of the white melted candy. Make sure the bowl is deep enough so you can get it in one dunk. Then remove and gently tap off any extra coating. This will help smooth it out, too.
• When the Hello Kitty heads are dry, apply the hearts and m&ms to make a bow and the yellow rainbow chips to make a nose. You can use a toothpick and a little bit of the melted candy to act as the glue.
• Then, draw the eyes and whiskers on using an black edible ink pen
