So it starts off like you're making any other cake.
And then things get fun. You have to tear apart this cake until it is just a bunch of crumbs. It's hard to put into words how satisfying it is to destroy a cake into tiny pieces, but it is AMAZING!
Here it is crumbled into submission.
Then you add some frosting to act as glue to hold this all together.
Then you make twelve equal balls of cake. I always have trouble making them equal sized, but it really doesn't matter. All they really need is to stick together well, so press those puppies together well. This is also the part where you want to make sure your hands are all clean before starting so you can use the phrase that my family enjoys using in these situations: "Untouched by human hands"
This is the same as the brownie mix I made. You add chocolate to the sticks and put them in the fridge to cool down which helps them stay together when you add the melted chocolate on top.
I'm not sure why, but I had more problems with the white chocolate being sticky and clumping instead of being smooth. I worked though it and got them covered and sprinkled. As you can see, I did have one fall apart on me when I was putting chocolate on it, but it easily became the first taste test.
Here's how mine came out. Compared to the brownie pop kit, I thought these weren't quite as good. Part of this is that the cake is harder to hold together than the brownies were. The other reason is that if you give me an option of chocolate vs any other flavor of cake, I always choose chocolate. That being said, I would be interested in trying a cake kit in chocolate cake.
