Sage was looking through Bakerella's cake pops book and picked out these cake cones to make. Despite it being a rather elaborate project, we went ahead and made them. First we started with a yellow cake made from scratch. Then we crumbled the cake and rolled it into balls then put it into the fridge to chill. He had fun using the serrated knife to slice off the tops of the cones. Then we melted candy melts, dipped the cake balls, sprinkled them with jimmies and set them on the cones. We melted chocolate chips and drizzled it on the top and added a red M&M to represent cherry on top.
Our mini cheesecake pan upside down made a great holder for the cones while the dried. The only problem I encountered was the chocolate was soft and when I tried to place the cones in a bag they got smudged. I opted instead to place them in a container cushioned by parchment paper and handed them out to friends at the park. If I plan to bag them again, I will use candy melts for the chocolate. The leftover cake balls we placed on sticks and turned into cake pops.
