Hey guys, it’s Ro! Welcome to another Nerdy Nummies!
Today we are gonna be making something I got so many requests for. Today I am
gonna be making Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
We’re gonna be making Teenage mutant Ninja Turtle Cake Pops!
So let’s get started!
The things you will need, will be: 1 red velvet cake, I’ve already pre-baked it,
you just use your favorite red cake recipe. Also 2 sh-ticks of cream cheese,
these are 8 ounces, so you’ll need 16 ounces total, 1 big mixing bowl, lollipop
sh-ticks, chocolate melts, you’ll need green chocolate melts and white chocolate melts.
I also have a little bit of oil based yellow food coloring dye, and that’s to make
our white chocolate melts kind of a tan, yellowish color. Because I couldn’t find
yellow at the stores… So just make ‘em!
You also need frosting, we have white frosting and red frosting, and, a foam block.
This thing’s pretty handy, it’s to stick the cake pops in.
We also have little candy eyeballs, and, fondant in 4 colors, red, purple, blue and
orange for all of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Let’s put it all together!
This recipe is super easy, I made it before on the social media cake pops, so if you
want to check out that video it’s a little bit more in-depth, but I still wanted to
show you how to do it. So you’re just gonna take a a big cutting knife, cut your cake
into sections, kinda 4. Take 2 pieces, put it over the big bowl and rub them together,
makes a bunch of crumbs. This is called crumbing your cake. Oh, oh, oh!
Gets really messy, you can get your hands in there.
Once your cake’s all crumbed, you’re gonna add your 2 sh-ticks of cream cheese.
There’s 1, I've let them sit out a little so that they’re room temperature. Makes them
easier to work with, you don’t have to, just a little easier.
So they’re in here, and this is where you get your hands messy again.
Uh, yeah!
Once you’ve mixed in all your cream cheese, we’re just gonna roll,
our little cake balls, and put them on top of this cookie sheet, I lined it with
a piece of wax paper so that they won’t stick, and so you just take a little bit,
to be the size of like a golf ball, and you don’t need to make them perfect because
we’re gonna put them in the freezer and then after they set we’ll re-roll them so
that they’re really smooth, so just get the size right.
So I’m making half of them little circle balls and then the other half I’m gonna roll
it into a ball, and then flatten it, just a little bit. Because it’s
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they love Pizza, So I’m gonna make pizza cake pops
as well. I decided that would be cool!
Once you got all your little cake balls rolled, we’re gonna put them in the freezer for
about 30 minutes, and there’s a lot of extra, that’s OK! You can make a bunch of ‘em!
OK, we’ll go put ‘em in for 30 minutes, and then we’ll go heat up the chocoalte
and put in the lollipop sticks!
Nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee, nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee,
nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee!
I just took the cake balls out of the freezer, and melted some chocolate. I’ve got my
green chocolate, and this was the white chocolate that I added a little bit of food
coloring to, so it looks like yellow, tan-ish.
What you’re gonna do is pick up a cake ball, and you’ll see how it’s kinda lumpy.
This is where you just roll it, just so much easier to work with now because
they aren’t as sticky! They’ve been sitting in the freezer.
And I’ll show you the difference, so here’s after, and here’s before.
Now what you’re gonna do is take 1 of your lollipop sticks,
and I’m gonna dip it in green, take your cake ball, stick it in, try to put the
lollipop stick about 1/2 way through, and for the pizza 1, that’s a little bit flat,
again we’re just gonna smooth it, then you’re gonna take your little pizza pie
cake ball, dip your stick in the yellow, and again, stick it in about 1/2 way,
Now what you’re gonna do is take your cake pop and your green chocolate, and what
I like to do is just put it here, and spin it around slowly.
Then pick it up, and on the side of the bowl, just tap-tap-tap-tap-tap,
jiggle-jiggle-jiggle, to get off the excess.
That’s good, alright, then we’re gonna stick it in the foam block.
And now we’re gonna do the same thing to our little pizza pie pop!
We're gonna put it in the yellow chocolate.
This time we’re gonna do 1 side, try to do 1/2 way and then I like to flip it over.
And you can make as many as you’d want so god that to the rest of the cake pops!
Now that we’ve got our cake pops made, we are gonna make our Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtle ninja masks!
Da-na-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee-nee, Na-na OH! Ha-ha!
To decorate our little cake pops we have 4 different colors of fondant, we have
orange, red, purple and blue. And it’s for our little Ninja Turtle ninja masks.
For Michelangelo, Raphael, Donatello and Leonardo!
OK, so I’ve already cut the strips right hero you can see what they’re gonna look like
for their little masks, and I’m gonna show you how to roll them out and
how to make these!
So you’re gonna take a little piece of fondant, take a rolling pin, just roll it out!
Then you’re just gonna take a sharp cutting knife, just kind of eyeball it, however
thick you’d like your masks to be.
And we’re gonna be making where the mask ties, the little thing, so we’re just gonna
cut out little triangles out of the excess fondant.
And make 1 a little bit smaller, and I’m gonna make 1 a little bit bigger.
Then stick the smaller 1 on top of the bigger 1.
So that when it’s assembled it will look like that with his little eyeballs.
Now we’ve got our little ninja masks on top of our Ninja Turtles, eragh-ew!!
And now we’re just gonna use frosting to decorate their little mouths and frosting to
make our pizzas look all cheesy and marinara sauce-y and little pepperoni!
Ta-da! Here are our Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Cake Pops!
And the little pepperoni pizza cake pops, they’re so cute!
Thanks for suggesting it, these are awesome!
These little pizzas are making me so hungry! They look like bagel bites!
And I think I’m gonna go order pizza right now! And, if you have any other suggestions
for any other Nerdy Nummies, please let me know, leave me a comment down below and I
will do my best to make it happen!
OK, thanks again you guys, bye-bye!
