Although I'm not really a fantasy football wizard, I like to think that I am a wizard when it comes to throwing a good party. (I'm so modest, right?)
So, if you're having friends over to watch a game, you might want to try out these cake pops. (I made them for the Super Bowl last year, and I hope to make them again soon.)
I took my inspiration from Bakerella and made some cake pops in the shape of footballs. You can find the basic instructions for making cake pops here.
For these, I used chocolate cake mixed with chocolate icing. Then I shaped them into little footballs and chilled them in the freezer. I melted some chocolate chips and shortening together to dip them in and drew the laces on with white icing. (Tip: the smaller ones held up a bit better, as the weight of the footballs made a few too heavy to stay on the stick.)
They were adorable, and tasty too!
Do you make any fun football-themed desserts?
Oh, those are cute! I'm not a big football fan, so I can't offer anything better than football shaped cookies!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being a good "coach"! lol! Love those cake pops, I have always wanted to try making them - one of these days I will haha

ReplyDeleteYour pal, Pip
I love cupcake pops!!
ReplyDeleteNot a football fan, but those are adorable, not to mention, sound delish! Hmmm... maybe I'll shape mine to look like basketballs? (March Madness lasts all year long at our house.)
ReplyDeletehoundstooth - Football cookies sound good to me!
ReplyDeleteStacy - They take some time, but they're always a big hit at parties.
Pip - If only I could send them through the Internet!
jen - Me too. :)
Talking Dogs - Basketballs would totally work! You could dip them in orange candy melts and draw black lines on with icing.
