Remember when I told you to save the orange cake from the Carrots in the Carrot Patch Cake? Today you're going to need it and if you didn't save the cake, you can't blame me. I tried to stop you from eating it. Really, I tried. This is why~
Carrot Cake Pops
Carrot Cake Pops
I thought we should make some carrot cake pops. Or I should say, carrot SHAPED cake pops because no real carrots were used.
These were some of the easiest cake pops I've made, so let's get started...
These were some of the easiest cake pops I've made, so let's get started...
1. Use the leftover orange cake from the Carrot Patch Cake.
2. Crumble the orange cake in a bowl.
3. Add a little orange frosting and mix together.
4. Using a cake pop mold, (tree shape) make your carrots. (If you don't have a mold, roll the cake into cone shapes between your fingers)
5. After you pop them out of the mold,
gently shape the cake pop a little more like a carrot.
6. Dip in orange candy melts and
immediately sprinkle with orange sanding sugar.
7. Using a snowflake plunger cutter, cut leaves out of green fondant.
8. Put a hole in the center using a round decorating tip.
9. Take a carrot and pipe orange candy melts around the stick.
10. Add the green leaf and you're finished.
Almost finished.
11. If you want to add lines, drizzle or pipe candy melts across the carrots~
I'm so "EGG" cited to bring you more Easter sweets and treats!

The Hunt Is On!...
So Cute! They would be perfect for the centerpiece at my Easter dessert table! Brilliant using the tree cake pop mold.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa - Are you hosting Easter Dinner? Wish I could come!
DeleteI was wondering what you made with the leftover cake from that wonderful carrot cake patch. You never disappoint! These are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI would have made several more carrots, only some of the cake went missing...I'm just saying, watch for cake theives!
DeleteThese are perfect, Kim! Love them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer - you're always so sweet!
DeleteWhat a brilliant use of a snowflake plunger. It makes the perfect leaves. Great use for your left over cake.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha - I just realized I called it a leaf cutter! I'll have to go back and change it! I could have made many more pops if I hadn't got into it! :)
DeleteThese are so cute, Kim!!!!

So cute and clever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sweet comment!
DeleteThese are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa - I think the kids will get a kick out of them!
DeleteThese are so great! I've never tried to make cake pops before, but you made it look so easy that I think I might give it a try. I love the addition of line drizzles- they make the carrots "pop".
ReplyDeleteIt so funny that you mention the drizzles - I almost didn't post the photo cuz I didn't know if I liked them with the drizzle. Now I do! :)
DeleteI'm with Mike ... the drizzles add texture. You fooled me, I was expecting carrot cake ... I'm saving the idea for April 1!
ReplyDeleteHa - no carrots involved in this cake! :)
DeleteWhere do I get the recipe for the carrot patch cake? I searched your site and could not find it. (it took me to google)
