Ingredients
- 12 ready-made cupcakes
- 400g (14oz) tub of ready-made vanilla buttercream
- Deco Melts in the following colours: green, blue, red, extreme white and black
- 250g (9oz) packs of ready-to-roll icing in the following colours: poppy red, black, Lincoln green and orange
- Handful of pretzels
- 150g (5oz) milk chocolate
- Small jar of rainbow sprinkles
- Small jar of edible silver balls
You will need
- Lollipop sticks
You may want (optional)
- Snowflake plunger star cutters
Method
1. In a bowl, crumble the cupcakes into fine crumbs. Stir in the buttercream a teaspoon at a time until the mixture is thick and holds together. Line a baking tray and divide the mixture into seven. Squeeze and mould the mixture into ice-pop shapes. Lay them down on the lined tray and insert a lolly stick into each one. Put the tray into the freezer until they are solid - at least an hour.
2. According to your preferred colour/design, melt Deco Melts in a bowl over a pan of hot water. Remove the cake pops from the freezer and use a spoon to coat the cake pop with the Deco Melts. Lay the cake pop back down on the tray to set and decorate as desired. Once completely set, they're ready to be packaged and gifted.

3. Add sprinkles if desired.
