Cake pop
Most people think of cake pops as a modern invention, but the truth is that they have been around for centuries. The first cake pops were actually made in the medieval era, and they were called “bisket puffs.” These were small balls of cake that were coated in a sweet syrup and then fried.
The modern version of cake pops can be traced back to the early 1900s, when they were known as “cake balls.” These were made by taking a cake and breaking it into small pieces, then mixing it with icing or frosting. The mixture was then rolled into balls and coated in a variety of different toppings, such as chocolate, sprinkles, or nuts.
Cake pops became popular in the United States in the 1950s, when they were introduced by the California-based company, Bake-a-Cake. The company’s cake pops were made with a cake mix and had a stick inserted into them so that they could be easily eaten without making a mess.
