5 Star Foodie Junior: "Candle" Cake Pops

Welcome to the December edition of 5 Star Foodie Junior, a series of monthly posts that feature my daughter learning how to cook in the kitchen. This is a special holiday post where we make an edible menorah with white chocolate glazed cake pops, pirouette rolled wafers, fruit gels, and sprinkles.

5 Star Foodie Junior: Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah. To celebrate, my mom and I made an edible menorah. Here's how we did it.

Yesterday we baked a cake and crumbled it when it was cooled. Today, we mixed the cake crumbles with vanilla cream cheese frosting.

Next, we shaped this smooth mixture into balls and chilled them.

Then, we dipped the cake balls into melted white chocolate, and placed a pirouette rolled wafer into each of the balls.

We dipped the yellow fruit gels into the white chocolate too, and we stuck those gels on top of each wafer.

We chilled our "candle" cake pops for about half an hour. Then, we arranged the candles close together on a platter, forming a menorah, and sprinkling blue sprinkles all over the cake pops. Finally, we refrigerated our edible menorah for a few hours.

After lighting the real candles and having our Hanukkah dinner, we were ate the "candle" cake pops for dessert.

We ate these "candle" cake pops "flame" side down! They were excellent!
