May’s Foodstirs was a Rainbow Cake Pop Kit. When the treats have a holiday theme, this subscription typically comes way in advance of the holiday, so you’ll have it not only in time to make for the holiday itself but also in time for pre-holiday parties if you like.
As always, Foodstirs provides organic mixes and contains no artificial ingredients!
DEAL: Pay only $4 (instead of $19.99) + $5.99 Shipping on your first month! Use coupon code HELLO80 and Use this link to subscribe.
The box includes a card letting you know the ingredients needed, tools, baking time, quantity, etc.
I like that it breaks down the ingredients you need twice (the second time being what you need at home). The kit includes all dry ingredients and decorative items — you supply eggs, butter, and other dairy when needed. When making Foodstirs, you’ll always want to have plenty of butter and some plain Greek yogurt on hand, as these are almost always required.
The information card also has useful tips written on it – usually, there is a factoid and a couple of options for adding some extra flair or flavor to your creation. This one had a great reminder to warm the milk when mixing the food coloring.
The box includes complete nutritional and ingredients information. You will like the ingredients – never anything artificial, and the ingredients are primarily organic with only natural food dye. Nutrition information covers only what is provided in the kit – they don’t state the nutritional profile of the prepared food once you’ve added the required butter, eggs, yogurt, etc.
The instructions. They are step by step with a photo for each step. The single card covered the mixing, baking, and decorating of the pops.
The kit comes with organic mixes for the baked items. We find their cake mixes to be really high quality and tasty. Regardless of how lovely our project turns out in any month, we know that it will taste good!
Our ingredients and supplies for making the rainbow cake core or our pops.
The coating and sprinkles for decorating the outside of the pops.
We began by baking the cupcakes. The mix called for butter, yogurt, and an egg.
Then we prepared the dye by blending milk and the powdered, natural food coloring. We blended the secondary colors by mixing the three primary colors provided.
Two cupcakes were crumbled into each dye bowl.
We then scooped a half-tsp of each color for every pop. There was plenty of cake, so our scoops got a little bigger as we went along.
We assembly lined the process!
Our layers ready for flattening and stacking.
The stacked and rolled rainbow cores. The kit had sticks for 20 pops, but even with our large cores we had plenty of cake.
We added sticks and dipped, finishing with sprinkles.
We experimented a bit with our decorations. These are some of our classic, smooth-dipped cake pops. They look great on a tray, but the icing tends to pool a bit on the top and leave a bare patch.
I made some with more aggressive sprinkling. The patch of sprinkles prevented the pops from shedding their frosting on the end. The kids loved the sprinkle-heavy pops.
A pop bouquet!
The inside had wonderfully vibrant color.
The pops were delicious! We thought the cake might not be very tasty after mushing with the dye, but it retained its great flavor. The texture remained nice, too, only gaining a bit of moisture in the fashion of cake pops. The kids had a blast with these – they are fun to make and to eat. We made our pops pretty big, and we were able to make all 20 pops, plus a few extra dipped doughnut wholes for snacking.
Foodstirs has proven to be a dependable baking project kit, as it always taste great and has a beautiful look if you are mindful during the preparation. Most projects look good even if you take some liberties with the decorating, so they are wonderful fun to work on with kids. Seasonally appropriate themes and early shipping schedules make this a perfect kit to receive in anticipation of holidays – most projects make an awesome centerpiece for a dessert service. All are kid-friendly.
