Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ of a 9x13 sheet cake
  • 2 Tblsp frosting
  • Chocolate Candy Wafers
  • Gold Coin Candies
  • Lollipop sticks
  • mixed Gold Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Bake your cake and let it cool completely. Cut the cake in half and add the frosting to a stand mixer.
  • Use a paddle attachment to mix the cake and frosting into a play-doh consistency.
  • Measure out 1 tablespoon of the mixture to make your cake balls. Roll smooth and refrigerate while melting the chocolate wafers.
  • Melt the chocolate wafers according the directions until it's 100% melted and completely smooth.

Cake Pops

  • For the cake pops, dip the stick into the melted chocolate and then insert into the cake ball.
  • Dip the cake pop and then stand it with the cake pop down, candy apple style, to dry.
  • You want a flat bottom to create what will become a flat top. When all your pops are done, dip the flat bottom into the chocolate and dip a gold coin edge and attach the two together.
  • Spoon the gold sprinkles over top to cover the wet chocolate. You'll have to work quickly before it hardens. Stand up to dry.

Truffles

  • For the truffles, dip a gold coin into the melted chocolate and press it into the cake ball.
  • When you've added the coins to the ball, use the coin as a handle and carefully dip into the melted chocolate.
  • Tap off the excess and place down on wax paper. Spoon over the gold sprinkles from the top.
  • Allow to completely dry.

Notes

Store gold cake pops and truffles in a cool, dry place until ready to serve.
