How to Make Num Noms Cake Pops!

June 4, 2017

I’ve always wanted to make something Num Noms inspired, so I thought why not make some ice cream cone cake pops? Or I guess they should be called Oreo pops? Whatever you call them, hope you enjoy these cuties! 😀

Cake Pop/Oreo Truffle Ball Falling Off?

Here’s my theory on this: I’ve never had a problem with cake pop balls falling off the stick, but these Oreo truffles were a little trickier. I think it’s because the cream cheese has more fat in it, making the outside of the Oreo truffle ball a bit oilier than a typical cake pop ball. As a result, the Candiquik doesn’t grab onto the Oreo truffle as well as a cake ball. Nonetheless, I was able to dip all of the Oreo truffles without too much difficulty, but use cake pop balls if you want it to be a bit easier!

Instructions
  1. Place Oreos in food processor (including center cream) and pulse until fine crumbs form. Pour into a large bowl, then mix in 4 oz cream cheese. If mixture is too dry, add more cream cheese as necessary. Texture should be like cookie dough!
  2. Cut sugar cones to about 2" long. Roll out truffles into balls, then refrigerate for 5 minutes if truffles are soft.
  3. Dip tops of cones in Candiquik, then place a cake ball on top. Let set completely. Dip M&Ms in melted Candiquik, then attach to sides of cake balls. Dip entire cake pop in Candiquik, let set, then decorate!

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease two 6" baking pans w/ cooking spray, line with parchment, and grease again. For remaining batter, you can either bake another 6" cake or bake about 12 cupcakes.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together butter, shortening, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla extract.
  4. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix only until mixture just comes together. Divide between pans (fill pans 7/8 full), then bake for 1 hour. Bake cupcakes for about 20-25 minutes.
  5. Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove from pans.

Easy Bake Oven Mini Cakes

February 2, 2017

Today we’re making miniature cakes in an Easy Bake Oven! 😀 And as promised, here’s the video of how to decorate the oven. More notes below!

Decoration Notes

  • Contact paper – similar
  • Sticker paper
  • Template for the contact paper coming soon! I’m hoping to put it up here 2/2/17. If I haven’t done it by 2/3/17, bug me in the YouTube comments ?
  • Kawaii face

But what if I don’t have an Easy Bake Oven?

  • No worries! Here’s some options:
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a 4″ round cake pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Bake the yellow cake recipe in a mini loaf pan. I would go for 350 F and about 8-10 minutes, but keep a close eye on it.
    • Make this a mug cake! Pour the batter into a microwave safe mug that’s been greased with cooking spray, then microwave for 2-3 minutes – you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on it though since I haven’t personally tried this method. Then let cool, remove from mug, cut into thin slices and then cut those thin slices with cookie cutters!

Instructions
Yellow Cake
  1. Preheat oven for 20 minutes and grease rectangular pan with cooking spray.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, white sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside
  3. In a separate bowl, melt together milk and butter until melted and smooth. Mix in vanilla extract, then add to dry ingredients and stir to combine. Batter may have lumps, but these will bake out.
  4. Pour half of batter into prepared pan. Batter should go almost all the way to the top of the pan - about 1/8" away from top. Tap down pan to release air bubbles, then bake in oven for 12 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then turn cake out onto a cooling rack. Repeat for the remaining batter.
Buttercream Frosting
  1. Mix half melted butter until smooth and no lumps show. Stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar, then mix in vanilla. Add in 2-3 T powdered sugar to adjust consistency.
Chocolate Glaze
  1. Melt chocolate chips in microwave at 15 second intervals until completely smooth. Mix in canola oil very well until no streaks show.
