Christmas pudding cake pops

MAKES 20

You can add a splash of Baileys for extra cheer – or leave it out for a family-friendly treat.

YOU WILL NEED

3 Madeira cakes, approx 250g each, or use up leftover cake
300g white chocolate, melted,
plus 50g white chocolate melted and cooled slightly
80ml Baileys, optional
150g dark chocolate,
melted Shop-bought edible holly, to decorate (optional)

You will need:

Pop sticks, plus a piece of foam or polystyrene (optional)

HOW TO DO IT

1 Whizz the cake in a food processor to fine crumbs. Tip into a large bowl and add the 300g melted white chocolate and the Baileys, if using. Mix well, to a dough-like consistency.

2 Roll into walnut-sized balls, about 40g each. Insert a stick into each and chill on a lined tray for 20 mins.

3 Once firm, dip the cake balls in the melted dark chocolate, getting a full coating. Next place the cake pops in a piece of polystyrene or similar so they stand upright, then chill until set (about 20 mins).

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said. 'There must be a mistake.'It was August 2010 and I'd not long before had an emergency caesarean. I'd not had a chance to see Winnie when she arrived as she'd been whisked away for tests because she was nearly two months premature.
