What to Do with Leftover Easter Eggs: Delicious Recipe Ideas

<p>Christmas is on it's way and you have baked your Christmas Cake in preparation, but all the recipes talk about feeding your Christmas Cake. If you are wondering how do I feed a Christmas cake? What do I feed it with? Don't worry we aren't talking about serving it a plate of sprouts. Feeding a Christmas cake simply means drizzling it with some liquid, typically alcohol such as brandy or sherry or alternatively you could use fruit juice. This process is to keep your cake lovely and moist and to intensify the flavours once you finally cut a slice and dig in.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Why Do You Feed a Christmas Cake?</h2>
<p>To "feed a cake" typically refers to the process of adding liquid, usually alcohol, to a cake after it has been baked to keep it moist and enhance its flavour over time. This practice is commonly associated with fruit cakes, which are often stored for weeks or even months. The cake is "fed" by periodically brushing or pouring small amounts of alcohol, like rum, brandy, or whiskey, onto it, allowing the liquid to soak into the cake.</p>
<h2>How Often Do You Feed a Christmas Cake?</h2>
<p>You should feed your cake after baking. Once your cake has cooled, it’s usually fed for the first time. Then, during maturation the cake is fed about once a week or every two weeks. You can continue feeding it until a week or so before you plan to decorate or serve it. Some people like to give the cake one final feed just before serving, but this is optional, especially if the cake is already rich and moist enough. Follow our simple step by step guide to learn how to feed a Christmas cake.<br>

How to Feed a Christmas Cake

<p>It’s October, the clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in earlier. That can only mean one thing….Halloween is on its way.<br>
<br>
Whether you are a fan of guts and gore or tend to lean&nbsp;more towards a ‘Casper the friendly ghost’ type of celebration, Halloween can be fun for the&nbsp;whole family.<br>
<br>
We&nbsp;think these spook-tacular <a data-item-id="12d2421b-03e6-5b0a-bb78-0c8d5d430f4a" href="">Halloween pops</a> are a great way to get everyone involved this year. Depending on how much time you have, you could opt for either the simple Frankenstein marshmallow pops or push the boat out with the Pumpkin and <a data-item-id="f773543d-cb04-5ece-baac-eafbe7faf8f9" href="">Ghost cake pops</a>. We had some leftover cupcakes from a recent bake session which worked perfectly to make up our cake pops so gave these a try first.<br>
<br>
A brilliant, kid-friendly task would be to get hands on and crumble the cakes up into a large bowl. Next add the buttercream and mix together until it begins to form a big ball, then it’s time to roll up those sleeves and get stuck in again rolling your cake pops. A good tip is to use an ice cream scoop to get an even sized ball each time – if you don’t have one of these to hand though don’t worry, you can always use a teaspoon.<br>
</p>
<figure data-asset-id="46c06bb5-12fa-457d-b7e6-98ff24f30633" data-image-id="46c06bb5-12fa-457d-b7e6-98ff24f30633"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/69fe8a91-0fc1-4c09-ad9b-21601052c36a/Halloween1.jpg" data-asset-id="46c06bb5-12fa-457d-b7e6-98ff24f30633" data-image-id="46c06bb5-12fa-457d-b7e6-98ff24f30633" alt="pumpkin shaped cake pops"></figure>
<p>&nbsp;It’s important to leave your cake balls to chill in the fridge and firm up. This will make them much easier to stay in shape when you dip them in the chocolate coating.<br>
<br>
There are many brands of coloured chocolate that you can use, such as Candy Melts and these can often be found in cake and craft stores. Be careful not to overheat them though as they can become congealed and difficult to work with. A handy tip if this happens is to drizzle a very small amount of oil into the chocolate to loosen it up again.<br>
</p>
<figure data-asset-id="0a8c5008-065c-4660-8b2b-740cda467b97" data-image-id="0a8c5008-065c-4660-8b2b-740cda467b97"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/407802cd-b8a6-4ada-b866-f2f0f5e07884/Halloween2.jpg" data-asset-id="0a8c5008-065c-4660-8b2b-740cda467b97" data-image-id="0a8c5008-065c-4660-8b2b-740cda467b97" alt="Halloween cake pop decorating process"></figure>
<p>Sometimes the trickiest thing when making cake pops is to find somewhere to dry them. I used an empty, fairly shallow cardboard box and punched small holes in it using my leftover cake pops sticks. Make sure that the holes are at least an inch apart as cake pops like to lean a little when drying and you don’t want them to stick together.<br>
<br>
Once dry, the fun part can begin…decorating. You can be as creative as you like and if you go wrong, don’t worry simply eat the cake pop and no-one will ever know!!<br>
<br>
&nbsp;If you don’t have any spare cake to make the cake pops you can dip marshmallows and follow the process in exactly the same way. This works perfectly for the freakish Frankenstein pops and tastes just as yummy.<br>
</p>
<figure data-asset-id="b1aa369e-1be7-40ec-91ea-8e5ab57e89b9" data-image-id="b1aa369e-1be7-40ec-91ea-8e5ab57e89b9"><img src="https://assets-eu-01.kc-usercontent.com:443/7d86daa4-c668-01be-7af8-44c5dd436d14/8ea30836-4073-420f-922f-f5a48a307e69/Halloween3.jpg" data-asset-id="b1aa369e-1be7-40ec-91ea-8e5ab57e89b9" data-image-id="b1aa369e-1be7-40ec-91ea-8e5ab57e89b9" alt="pumpkin cake pops in a row"></figure>
