Instructions

  1. 1 Add pancakes, torn into quarters, into a food processor and pulse until fine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then combine with cream cheese frosting and 1 tablespoon maple syrup until consistent.
  2. 2 Use a cookie scoop to portion out 1 inch balls of the pancake dough. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. 3 In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth. Add more milk if the mixture is too thick.
  4. 4 Dip the tip of one lollipop stick into the glaze, then insert it about halfway into the center of the ball. Carefully dip the pancake ball into the powdered sugar glaze, using a spoon to help drizzle the glaze around the sides and the bottom.
  5. 5 Skewer the bottom of the sticks into a styrofoam base so the cake pops stand upright as you work, allowing any excess glaze to drip off. Stick a piece of bacon onto the top.

Instructions

  1. 1 Prepare dough: Combine water and yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until yeast has dissolved.
  2. 2 Mix sugar, shortening, salt, and yeast mixture together in a large bowl. Stir in egg. Mix in 1/2 of the flour, then remaining flour until a dough forms. Transfer dough to a well-greased bowl and cover. Place in the refrigerator to rise, 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Remove dough from the refrigerator. Roll out on a lightly floured board. Spread softened butter over the surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch strip along the long edge of the rectangle furthest away from you completely dry.
  4. 4 Mix brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and cloves together in a bowl. Sprinkle all over the dough except the 1-inch border. Roll dough up toward the border, then cut into 1-inch thick rolls. Place in a greased pan and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  6. 6 Bake rolls in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Spread cream cheese frosting on top of hot rolls.

  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two 9-inch cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment paper, and lightly grease the parchment paper.

  5. 5 Divide batter between the prepared pans.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are light gold and spring back lightly to the touch, and a toothpick inserted into the middle of each cake comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes. Cool in the pans for about 5 minutes, then remove and finish cooling on baking racks.
  7. 7 Place 1 cake layer on a cake plate and cover with lemon curd. Top with the second layer and frost just the top, or top and sides, with cream cheese frosting.
