i made cake pops once and we didn't like them all that much. they are also way too fiddly for my liking, being a fundamentally lazy cook! lol

Hi Cathy......I will give your brownie recipe a go for this weekend.

I just wanted to ask, obviously once cooked it is moist enough to be rolled and held into shape with out any added icing ?
I did make a vanilla version, but did have to add buttercream to moisten and roll into balls.
If I don't have to use buttercream or icing.....I will be rapt!

Maddy, your cake pops look fantastic!  Yes, this recipe was perfectly moist enough.  And I liked this recipe as the ingredients suited my needs ie no funny numbers etc.  And no, I didn't have to add any buttercream or icing.

I don't remember exactly what size tin I used - I think it was a slice type tin?

Brazen - you can adapt any moist brownie recipe that your family like.  Sometime I'll try the Apple and Date brownies from the vegetarian cookbook - they're beautifully moist, and much less sugar than this recipe.

ahh the cake pops i made were with cream cheese, which we weren't that keen on. though... my family aren't that keen on brownies either lol

i will try those brownies from the vego book though, they sound interesting!

What about using your carrot cake recipe Karen, that is nice and moist and I'm sure it would roll into balls easily.

Oooh    Yes Yes, thank you Maddy for the inspiration     
Went on Amazon and checked out the short video... I'm hooked!
Now I have something else to look forward to    These little beauties look soo cute

They are time consuming hestonfan, but fun to make.
I now use a little electric chocolate fondue pot for the melting and dipping process, and makes life a whole lot easier 



I actually have made a white brownie version of Cathy's recipe, all rolled into balls and ready for dipping today.
I will attempt to make fairy girls for a friends Daughters 5th Birthday tomorrow.
I am a little concerned that the brownie mix is a little bit crumbly though, so I have a pre-baked caked defrosted, just in case it doesn't work out.

Will post some photo's when I finish

Well I finished and delivered them, and apparently have been demolished!





I used Parisian fairy floss for the hair, but unfortunately the moisture in the air deflated their fluffy locks by the morning, and ended  up flat and sticky instead     but am told the little party goers didn't notice a thing

They are absolutely beautiful Maddy, you are a very talented lady.I love all the different expression on the faces, especially the one winking at us.I'm pleased all your effort was appreciated by the party girls.

Take a bow maddy they are fantastic.  You could always go into business making these little morsels for parties you know 
Did your brownie mixture work or did you have to use the cake you defrosted?

[maddy]

Did your brownie mixture work or did you have to use the cake you defrosted?

I did stick with the brownie mix.  It's hard to gauge Judy.......I think I did bake it in a too large tin, so there ended up a lot of harder bits that didn't break down into a smooth ball (after I cut the real hard edges off).  The mix itself worked fine, and much preferred the taste though.
I will make Cathy's chocolate version, and do things differently.  I think because I blitzed it in the TM before rolling, didn't help as I wasn't adding extra icing.
Coulda-woulda-shoulda

Thank-you, but no.  That would just do my head in!

Sad to see the Persian fairy floss (pashmek) ended up looking like they had a bad hair day.  But like the idea - maybe just try adding a bit more of it next time?  It goes a long way.

Maybe dessicated coconut ? like lamingtons instead - short hair is trendy !!
