Strawberry "No" Cake Pops

-

Cake Pops are very popular at parties at the moment, in fact so are lollies and candy bars. My inner healthy voice screams out at me when I look at these gorgeously presented tables, asking "Where's the healthy options!? " I do love a good cake, but I also love to have healthy options.

My kids love Strawberries,  they are low in sugar, high fibre, and loaded with nutrients.  So I decided to experiment with my cake pop alternative - Strawberry No - Cake Pops! 
You can't get any healthier than these!

I used ordinary drinking straws for the sticks. The result was yummy looking fresh strawberry pops... but then I thought I had to have a wicked version too, so pulled out the electric fondue maker I bought for $5 from Crazy Clarks.

The results? YUMMY! ♥ 

Why not have both versions at your next party? !

A Few tips:

* Use firm fresh Strawberries
* The "healthier" chocolate to use is dark chocolate
* When putting dipped strawberries in fridge to set, used a few glasses so your not crowding and ruining the chocolate finish, once set then arrange in final glass.
* Other fruits to use with this method include pieces of Melons, whole Seedless Grapes,  wedges of Pineapple etc..

Strawberry No - Cake Pops in the making...

    Thanks, this post made me laugh. You know what? I don't like Cake Pops much - too sweet and too much trouble for a busy mum. But no Cake Pops? That's got my vote! I could even give them 2 versions, one with chocolate as above, and one dipped in creme fraiche!

Coloured Ganache! Yes It Works!

Oh me Oh My! I am so thrilled, so excited. I am just on top of the world today! Words can't really do it justice - I really am totally in a zone of cakey euphoria! What's got me so fired up and excited you ask?  Drum Roll Please..... Coloured Ganache! Yes you read read right! Coloured ganache, is what's got me excited! I am so in cakey love with the whole concept right now! You see not everyone likes fondant, not everyone can cover a cake without the dreaded elephant skin, the cracks, and rounded edges when trying to achieve sharp edges. And you know what, some days fondant just doesn't want to play the game! Personally I find fondant to be quite moody and often find myself arguing with her at 1am in the morning! Eeek! However I am good at setting up my ganache. Actually I am pretty darn good! I have mastered getting it smooth - yep I like to think I am awesome at this, but nothing breaks my heart more than ruining that perfect finish with ...

Easy Squid Game Dalgona Candy Recipe (No Flame Method.)

□○☆* Last night I ended up helping my 11 Year old daughter to make the latest sweet trend inspired by the Squid Game series, using the available tools in our kitchen. [N.B. She has not seen Squid Game as it is rated MA however all her friends talk about it at school] We searched for some recipes but I wasn't about to use a ladle on a naked flame! So as I do, I played around to see what I could use with the existing equipment in my kitchen. ☆  Tip the smaller the frying pan the better. The mixture was so much easier when I switched to the  small 1 egg sized mini frying pan. (see video further down) There were a few fails. If you try this, don't despair at the wonky, burnt or set too fast ones. You must work quickly so naturally some  mishaps will occur. But after you get the hang of it the process becomes really easy! Failed 1st Attempts To make the Squid Game Dalgona Candy in the video I am using: A standard electric hot plate. (Not naked flame) on Low. Ingredients: 1.5 t...
