Thank you all for all your kind messages that have really touched me especially welcome to new readers of my blog ! Faced with the general enthusiasm caused by my animation, I have no choice but to give you without further delay the recipe "pops Cakes", other recipes from my dinner almost perfect celestial follow next week. I'm really pleased that my animation was such a success. I take this opportunity to make a dedication to my girlfriend Toya who had the idea and the many people who helped me to prepare my dinner and my deco !

First of all, short summary of what the "pops Cakes". The term "Cake Pops" is a contraction of Cake (cake) and Lollipops (lollipop) and designates a ball stuck on a cake rod, Chocolate Ice (or Candy melts) and decorated to form a sort of lolly cake. It's a fashion trend derivative of cupcakes and other pastries that Anglo-Saxon American as much as crazy about decorating taste ! It's very easy to do, nice to try with children but you just provide a little time because there are several steps.

I discovered Cakes pops on a blog who specializes in them Bakerella, his blog is in English but it is worth seeing if only for the pictures of his fantastic creations. I was part of his idea of ​​balls of ice and chocolate cakes I tried 2 a chocolate versions based on my favorite recipe chocolate cake and another with my recipe for Cake with Pink Biscuits from Reims. The idea is then to decline indefinitely with any type of cake and all types of chocolate frosting. There is even a free version called just spade "cake balls".

Admire my guests' work…

The Candy Melts is a product of the Wilton brand used by all amateur pastry USA. This is a kind of white chocolate, presented as pistoles (studded) melt. The Candy Melts comes in lots of different colors and is flavored with vanilla (sometimes with mint, caramel or other…), it allows for pops of Cakes of all colors, of icing cakes, trace sets… It melts more easily than the standard chocolate and it makes a big difference.
