Christmas Baking: Snowman Cake Balls
To get into the christmas spirit I thought i'd do more Christmas baking, and this time I choose cake rather than Christmas Cookies.
I made snowmen out of cake balls, its the first time i've ever used a cake pop mould and they're definitely a pain to use. I kept loosing chunks of cake, or the cakes wouldn't rise enough or too much! Plus I only have two small cases (12 balls max) so it took over 2 hours to bake half of the mix!
Here's how to make them -
What you'll need:
Cake Mix
Cake Pop Moulds
Icing Sugar
Milk Chocolate Icing Pen
Orange Tic Tacs for Noses
Giant Cadbury's Buttons for Hats
Bamboo Skewers & Cocktail Sticks
Step 1 - Prepare your cake batter
I just used a packet mix. Cheater!
Step 2 - Bake your cakes!
I baked mine on 175ºC for 10min as per the instructions that came with the moulds.
Step 3 - Mix your icing.
I mixed mine in a mug to keep the icing deep enough to dip the cake balls into.
Step 4 - Shape.
Attach two iced cake balls together with half a cocktail stick. Use more icing at the base to help them stand.
Step 5 - Decorate!
Add your snowman's features first, before adding half an orange tic tac as a nose and adding the chocolate button last.
I cut a button into two triangles to make a bow, but it doesn't look that good unless you're looking down onto the snow(wo)men.
