I was inspired by a fabulously talented friend from Lynlee’s Petite Cakes when I made these “Hatching Chick” cake pops – I remembered seeing Lynlee’s similar idea using fondant sugar paste and push-up pops on Bird’s Party Magazine Issue 5, and thought I could make a similar chick but with cake pops instead!

Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
1) Mix cake crumbs and cream cheese until well combined and you cake make cake balls without breaking. Always add cream cheese a little at a time to ensure the consistency is ok. Then using an ice cream scoop, form balls with the mixture and roll on the palm of you hands. Set aside on a tray and refrigerate all the balls until firm – I actually put mine in the freezer for a few minutes whilst I prepaperd for the next step.

Step 2
2) Cut off the tips of your candy corn – these will be the chick beaks. Melt the candy melts as per packet instructions. Add a little rapeseed oil if the mixture is too thick (tip from Gillian at Crumbs of Comfort Cake Design), then using a couple of forks, dip each cake ball in the candy melts.

Step 3
4) Cut up rectangular, thin strips of the white sugar paste fondant of about 1 inch (2cm) in width. With a sharp knife, start cutting a zig-zag. Don’t make it all the same height – this is meant to look like cracked egg shell. Wrap the fondant around the base of each cake ball and display the cake pops in a new, empty egg carton box. (I used brand new egg boxes to display them and just asked for some at my local store).
