Have some fun with festive baking and make these Christmas Tree Chocolate Cake Pops. They are really easy to make and the kids will absolutely love decorating them! A great way to get into the kitchen with your children this Christmas!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Christmas<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’m always in awe (and a little bit jealous!) of people who can produce such beautifully decorated cakes and cupcakes but when I saw these Christmas Tree Pops<\/a> on the BBC Good Food site I thought even a baking novice like me could give them a go! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The cake recipe itself is super simple. It’s a basic chocolate cake all mixed together in one bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because it is so easy, it’s a brilliant recipe to get the kids involved in making. You could even make it the day before and then decorate the next day if you are short on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decorating the Christmas Tree Chocolate Cake Pops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the cake is cooked and cooled you need to cut it into 8 triangles (watch the video below to see how simple this is!) and then decorate the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I decided to do something a bit different from the BBC Good Food recipe and instead of making my own icing, I used those small tubes of icing writing to create a criss cross effect across each of the cake pops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We then decorated them with some smarties and some edible silver balls, used a candy cane instead of a cake pop stick and finished with a little dusting of icing sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a lot of fun making and decorating these with my daughter and all her friends were delighted when we gave them one. They have a real Christmas novelty effect and would make such a great addition to a Christmas party!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
