As a result, the cake didn't turn out nice, it sunk, and the texture was dense and the cake was heavy. Eating the cake was no fun at all :(
So, since LBT challenge this month is cake pops, I decided to trasnform the disappointment into something for others to enjoy, in this case - the kids :)
I crushed most of the cake with my own hand to relieve my sorrow LOL
Mixed it with Martha Stewart cream cheese frosting til it's sticky enough to shape, shaped into balls
Dipped lollipop sticks in melted dark chocolate and white chocolate and poked the balls with them, immediately kept them in the fridge for an hour
The white and dark chocolate dips, pearls, stars and hearts sprinkles, gummies, and the styrofoam board
After an hour in the fridge, dip the pops into the chocolates and sprinkles as desired and put it standing upright by poking the sticks into the styrofoam board, and chilled overnight
And here is mine...
This one was just dipped plain without any sprinkles, I prefer to bite without sprinkles :P
Ok, I was feeling a little better after seeing the little pops and watching my kids happily munching on them. Sorrow turned to joy LOL
Now, gotta call the oven service centre to ask them to give it a check *sigh*
Beautifull!
ReplyDeletehi Erva, thank you :)
DeleteYou are so clever! Hahaha, I think that if it was me, I would probably discard it! I can understand your frustration when crushing the cake! Glad that it works out in the end! Great job, Alice! The cake pops looks cute and nothing goes to waste! Yay!!
ReplyDeletehi Joyce, thanks :) yeah, it always frustrates me everytime my bakings doesn't satisfy me, but at the same time i always think of ways to save it LOL
Deletewow ... beautiful!
ReplyDeletethanks Chris :)
DeleteThis is such a great idea! Your cake pops look so beautiful!
ReplyDeletethanks Mich :)
DeleteHey Alice! This is the perfect example of seeing the glass as half full instead of half empty! You took something negative and turned it into something positive! These banana cake pops are so pretty and I'm sure delicious as well!
ReplyDeletehi Sam, thanks!
Deletei just felt it's such a big waste of the cake since the taste is delicious, i just hate how the texture turned out :)
Hi Alice, In reply to your question over at my blog :)
ReplyDeleteI think that you can replace the sweetened cream of coconut with whipping cream, but not coconut milk! Coconut milk is more diluted than coconut cream. You can refer to Mimi Bakery House, she has the photo of the packet of coconut cream (Kara Brand), I use Ayamas brand. You could ask her where she bought it in S'pore. Have fun baking, looking forward to see yours!
hi Joyce, thks for the reply :)
Deleteive finally used local brand NTUC coconut cream, actually the same type as kara brand coconut cream
will upload the pic tomorrow :)
Alice, I ues sweeten cream of coconut from Ayam Brand like Joyce too! I like your cake pop! so cute

ReplyDeletethanks Jessie, i agree, this is pretty troublesome to make hehehe....
DeleteGreat save there, your banana cake turned into very delicious looking cake pops, I baked a disastrous chocolate once and turned it into chocolate cake pops too:D
ReplyDeletehi Jeannie, thks! yes, i think this is the best solution for all cake turns to nightmare :P
