Also A big thankyou to the kind young man in Costa coffee that gave us the stirrers for the pops.
Another wonderful recipe idea from you miss Nayna, you continue to inspire us all. I actually tried cake pops for the first time the other day and it was delicious!
I never heard of JAFFA CAKE POPS but it's fab idea and would not cost too much to make either! I'm a jaffa cake fan so this is right up my street! Angela
It's a lovely idea but I must admit I cringe at the bright green. Never been a fan of coloured food. I suppose I would have to make them white, or various shades of chocolate colour, lol!
These are brilliant, what an absolutely wonderful and yet simple way to make something beautiful for the lady in your life and the perfect colours for spring too.
