Cake pops
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This beautiful, tasty, and colorful dessert for kids was invented in America and quickly became popular. Making it is very easy. This recipe provides two methods for preparing cake pops: one using a special pan for baking small round cupcakes, and another for those who don't have such a pan. I'll be honest: the second version—using sponge cake and condensed milk—is more popular with everyone. Instead of sponge cake, you can use any cookies, and instead of condensed milk, any cream you prefer. You can add chopped nuts or coconut flakes to the mixture—you know what your child likes. Preparation is complete. The ready dessert can now be served.
