Last weekend at the cupcake class, the Lovely Lisa introduced me to the concept of "cupcake pops". A little research led me to USA's Bakerella who has some fabulous cupcake pops and cake balls on her website, featured in her soon-to-be-released book. Long story short, I finally found a recipe and had a go myself.

The results were a bit messy! I had to practice my piping techniques a bit, and also had to try and perfect wrapping cake balls with plastic icing. Not as easy as it sounds!






















But eventually I got it right and made the little pigs that I had been thinking of ever since I saw those Micro Mallows (pictured above)! The tiny cupcakes above really very small: they measure about 2cm across. That gives you an idea of how micro the Micro Marshmallows really are.
