Step 1

VANILLA CAKE:
 
This light and fluffy vanilla cake makes a delicious base for a simple cake pop. Combine with classic vanilla cream cheese frosting for a wonderful buttery flavor.
 
Makes enough for approx. 20 medium cake balls
 
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, at room temperature
1-1/3 cups self-rising flour, sifted
4 tablespoons milk, at room temperature

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease and flour a 10-inch (25-centimeter) round cake tin or an 8-inch (20-centimeter) square cake tin. Cream the butter and sugar until it turns pale and fluffy. Mix the vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition. Add half the flour and then half the milk and mix until fully combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and milk.

Step 3

Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once baked, leave to cool in the tin for 20 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.

Step 4

WEDDING ROSE POPS:
 
Make the roses in advance: break the fondant into 20 pieces and, one by one, push each piece into the mold, cutting off any excess with a small knife. Remove from the mold and place on a sheet of parchment paper. Leave to dry overnight.

Step 5

Melt the white candy. Dip the end of each lollipop stick 3/4 inch deep into the candy and insert a stick into each cake ball. Leave to set.

Step 6

Dip each cake pop fully into the candy and decorate each one by attaching a rose to the top while still wet. Decorate with white sprinkles and insert into a polystyrene block to dry.

    How pretty! Does anyone know of a great chocolate cake recipe I could do this same idea with?
