Ingredients
1tsp Asda Yellow Natural Colouring
100g desiccated coconut
12 pack Asda Plain Fairy Cakes
4tbsp Asda Vanilla Flavour Frosting
200g white chocolate
Black piping icing
50g ready-to-roll white fondant
Orange gel food colouring
8 cake pop sticks
Method
1
Line a large baking tray with some nonstick baking paper. In a bowl, stir the yellow colouring into the coconut until evenly coloured.
2
In another bowl, break up the fairy cakes into crumbs, using your fingertips. Add the frosting and knead into a smooth mixture. Cut into 8; roll each piece into a ball.
3
Microwave the white chocolate in 30-sec bursts, stirring in between each one, until melted.
4
Using a fork, dip each ball in turn into the chocolate, shake off the excess and put on the baking tray.
5
Dip each ball in the coconut then put back on the baking paper. Push each ball onto a cake pop stick. Chill for 30 mins or until completely set.
6
Using the black piping icing, pipe 2 dots for eyes on each ball.
7
Knead the white fondant with a few drops of orange gel colouring until it is an even shade. Make 8 triangles, each 5mm long, for the beaks and 16 circles, each 5mm, for the feet. Attach the beaks and feet to the balls with piping icing.
