CAKE POPS.

There is nothing more exciting than a cake pop.
Actually that's a lie, there are lots of things more exciting than a cake pop, like this:

VERY exciting. What a bitch... I would definitely end up doing the same to be fair, but with better spelling and less throwing around of the word babe. It reminds me of those patronising girls that think they're your mum calling you 'honey' and 'sweetie' left right and centre. Yuck. Stop it, all of you.

SO BACK TO CAKE.
As far as things that are on a stick, there is nothing more exciting than a cake pop.
First time I made these was for my boyfriends surprise birthday tea.
I know what you're thinking, I'm such a nice girlfriend, who doesn't like tea? etc.
I'm actually worse than the girl in that video.
The surprise element of this party, was that as my poor boyfriend arrived, he was greeted by the sight of one of his closest friends:
 < THIS GUY
Wearing little more than a pair of boxers. Nothing says 'Happy Birthday' like betrayal and heartbreak followed by all of your friends running at you cheering.
But see the point of this story is that the cake pops made it all better.
They were so beautiful and yummy that he soon(ish) forgot about the most brutal birthday ever.
*SURPRISE*

Here's how they go:

1. Make any cake you want. Except for cheesecake, that won't work. Or invisible cake, that wont work unless you have invisible sticks. I took the sly stoner route and used a betty crocker chocolate readymix, i recommend you do the same. 

2. Once the cake is cooked and cooled, break it up and then proceed to stir in a cup of buttercream, (also can be bought if you cba to make it) so that it becomes moist and moldable. 

3. Shape the cake into little truffle sized balls and leave to cool. Meanwhile, melt some dairy milk in a heatproof bowl over boiling water, and then dip your lollypop sticks into the chocolate, then into the cake balls. 

4. Once secure, dip each cake ball into the chocolate so it's coated, then roll into sprinkles of your choice.

Voila!
