Fancy Cake Pops
These cake pops are not only delicious but also beautifully decorated. They make for a perfect dessert for parties, weddings, or just a fun weekend treat. Here’s how to create them:
Ingredients
For the cake mixture:
- 1 box of cake mix (any flavor)
- Ingredients required on the box (usually eggs, water, and oil)
For the coating:
- 12 oz of white chocolate or candy melts
- Candy sprinkles (optional)
For the pops:
- Lollipop sticks
- Styrofoam block or cake pop stand (for drying)
Instructions
- Begin by baking the cake according to the package instructions. Once it’s ready, let it cool completely.
- Crumb the cooled cake into a large bowl. You want the crumbs to be fine and consistent.
- Add a few tablespoons of frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix until it holds together when rolled into a ball. You can adjust the frosting amount to your preference.
- Roll the cake mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- While the cake pops are chilling, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it halfway into each chilled cake ball. This helps secure the stick.
- Once you have added the sticks, dip each cake pop in the melted chocolate, making sure to fully coat them. Gently tap to remove any excess chocolate.
- If you want to add sprinkles, do so while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the cake pops upright in a foam block or cake pop stand to dry completely.
Once the chocolate has hardened, your fancy cake pops are ready to be served! They make an excellent centerpiece for any gathering or a sweet surprise for loved ones. Enjoy these delightful treats!
