CARROT CAKE POPS
These aren't garden-variety carrots: They're carrot cakes! To make the veggie lookalikes, we mixed crumbled carrot cake and cream cheese frosting, formed it into logs, then coated the faux carrots in orange candy melts. The finishing touches: some scratches for texture, a little cocoa powder for dirt and a green licorice stem.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix, pour into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Let cool.
- Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix with your hands until well combined. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- With damp hands, form the crumbled cake mixture into 12 to 15 compact carrot-shaped logs, about 8 inches long. Put on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Carefully insert a skewer into each carrot, reshaping as needed. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Melt the orange and red candy melts together in a large bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
- Transfer the melted candy to a shallow baking dish. Working quickly, dip the cake pops in the candy melts, turning to coat, then return to the baking sheet to set.
- Once set, use a skewer or toothpick to etch horizontal lines in the coating.
- Brush the carrots with cocoa powder, making sure it gets into the etched lines.
- Remove the skewers from the carrots. Use extra melted candy to attach a piece of green licorice to each; let set.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Oil a 20 x 5cm deep square tin and line with baking parchment. Mix all the ingredients for the cake together in a large bowl until well-combined. Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 25-30 mins until golden, slightly risen and a skewer comes out cleanly when inserted in the middle. Set aside to cool completely in the tin.
- Meanwhile, beat the ingredients for the icing together with an electric whisk for 5 mins until pale and fluffy.
- Crumble the cooled cake into the bowl with the icing and beat with an electric whisk until the mixture comes together. Shape into 12 even-sized balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Chill the balls in the fridge for 30 mins to help them firm up.
- Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the base of the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until smooth and glossy, then remove from the heat. Push a lollipop stick into each cake ball and dip in the chocolate, using a spoon to help you coat the ball if needed. Carefully lay on the lined tray and stick a red sugar-coated chocolate on the front of each cake pop for a nose. Stick two pretzel halves into the top for antlers, then leave until the chocolate is fully set. Will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for five days.
