2 hours
Difficulty: 4/5

Prepare
Other materials:
- 400 gram butter
- 8 eggs (approx. 400 gram)
- 30 ml water
The cake pops:
For the cake pops, mix 500 gram mixture, 250 gram eggs and 5 eggs and mix it slowly in 4 minutes till a batter. Fill a decorating bag with the batter and cut of the top. Preheat the cake pop maker and fill the bottom parts with the batter. Bake the pops till they are ready, you can even turn them half way true. Let the cake pops cool down on a cooling gird.
Melt the candy melts in the micro wave, chocolate melter of au bain marie. Add the purple color and mix it well. Repeat these steps until you have the desired color. Dip the sticks one by one in the melted candy and put them in the pops. Let the pops harden for approx. 10 minutes.
Hold the cake pops above the melt candy melts and pour over them with a spoon until they’re completely covered. Dipping is also possible, but there is a chance the stick will come loose when making the turning movement. Let the redundant candy drip off. Cover all the cake pops following this method. Stick the pops in a dummy or a piece of Styrofoam and let them harden.
The eye balls are made with a little ball (approx. 1 cm) of yellow or green fondant, that is pushed flat. Roll a small balls of black fondant and place them on the yellow and green eyes. Place the eyes on the cake pops before the candy melts has become hard.
The ball cake:
Make sure that all the ingredients are at room temperature. Preheat the oven on 160°C (convection oven 140°C). Mix 300 gram mix, 15o gram butter and 3 eggs (size M, approx. 150 gram) in 4 minutes on low speed to a smooth batter. Lubricate the ball pan and fill this with the batter. Bake the cake in in 40-45 minutes. Let the cake cool down on a cooling grid.
For the royal icing add 30 ml of water to 250 grams of (sifted!) mixture for Royal Icing with a stiff consistency. Mix the icing for 7-10 minutes on low speed to a stiff, white icing. Add the icing color en mix it well. The icing is ready when it is purple, has lost its shine and you can pull peaks that don’t fall back. (If using a hand-held mixer be careful to ensure that it does not jam!)
Use a pallet knife to cover the cake with a thin layer of royal icing. Make from black fondant the mount of the monster and place this with a bit of icing of the cake. Place the tip in the decorating bag and fill this with the icing. To get the desired effect, start spraying flat against the ball and move all spraying off the ball. The moment that you won’t spray, but you do take away the bag, the hear will break. Start from the bottom and proceed upwards, making short and long hear.
Place the cake pops in the cake for a monster effect.
