Strawberry "No" Cake Pops

-

Cake Pops are very popular at parties at the moment, in fact so are lollies and candy bars. My inner healthy voice screams out at me when I look at these gorgeously presented tables, asking "Where's the healthy options!? " I do love a good cake, but I also love to have healthy options.

My kids love Strawberries,  they are low in sugar, high fibre, and loaded with nutrients.  So I decided to experiment with my cake pop alternative - Strawberry No - Cake Pops! 
You can't get any healthier than these!

I used ordinary drinking straws for the sticks. The result was yummy looking fresh strawberry pops... but then I thought I had to have a wicked version too, so pulled out the electric fondue maker I bought for $5 from Crazy Clarks.

The results? YUMMY! ♥ 

Why not have both versions at your next party? !

A Few tips:

* Use firm fresh Strawberries
* The "healthier" chocolate to use is dark chocolate
* When putting dipped strawberries in fridge to set, used a few glasses so your not crowding and ruining the chocolate finish, once set then arrange in final glass.
* Other fruits to use with this method include pieces of Melons, whole Seedless Grapes,  wedges of Pineapple etc..

Strawberry No - Cake Pops in the making...

    Thanks, this post made me laugh. You know what? I don't like Cake Pops much - too sweet and too much trouble for a busy mum. But no Cake Pops? That's got my vote! I could even give them 2 versions, one with chocolate as above, and one dipped in creme fraiche!

Coloured Ganache! Yes It Works!

Oh me Oh My! I am so thrilled, so excited. I am just on top of the world today! Words can't really do it justice - I really am totally in a zone of cakey euphoria! What's got me so fired up and excited you ask?  Drum Roll Please..... Coloured Ganache! Yes you read read right! Coloured ganache, is what's got me excited! I am so in cakey love with the whole concept right now! You see not everyone likes fondant, not everyone can cover a cake without the dreaded elephant skin, the cracks, and rounded edges when trying to achieve sharp edges. And you know what, some days fondant just doesn't want to play the game! Personally I find fondant to be quite moody and often find myself arguing with her at 1am in the morning! Eeek! However I am good at setting up my ganache. Actually I am pretty darn good! I have mastered getting it smooth - yep I like to think I am awesome at this, but nothing breaks my heart more than ruining that perfect finish with ...
