There’s no better way to celebrate Children in Need than by whipping up some delightful Pudsey cake pops. These little treats are perfect for enjoying as a family or even selling at fundraising events. While they’re not the easiest thing to make, trust me when I say it’s completely worth the effort. My kids are already clamoring to help out!
Ingredients
(makes about 8-10 cake pops)
- Half a tub of ready-mixed chocolate buttercream icing
- One madeira cake
- 500g bar of milk chocolate / pack of yellow candy melts
- One pack of white chocolate buttons / or use candy melts cut in half
- Candy eyeballs
- Rainbow sweets
- Lollipop sticks
- Small chocolate beans
- Black icing
What To Do
Start by cutting off the sides of your madeira cake and crumbling it into a bowl. Mix the icing with the cake crumbs until you’ve formed small balls—these should feel fairly firm. Once done, wrap each one in cling film and refrigerate for at least half an hour.
Next, insert lollipop sticks halfway into the cake balls. For stability, I recommend popping them back in the fridge for another half hour before moving forward.
Melt your chocolate or candy melts using a double boiler method (over a bowl of boiling water). This ensures even melting without burning.
Once melted, dip the cake pops into the chocolate or candy melts. Decorate them by attaching two buttons for ears, a brown chocolate bean for the nose, and candy eyeballs. Use black icing to draw a cute smiley face. To create the iconic bandage effect, secure some chocolate beans onto a rainbow sweet using a bit of the melted chocolate, then let everything dry.
Finally, place the finished cake pops in the fridge to set.
For displaying, I like to use florist’s foam and arrange the pops at varying heights for an eye-catching presentation.
