🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Bake the cake: Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Once baked, let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cake: In a large bowl, crumble the cooled cake with your hands until it’s finely textured.
- Mix in frosting: Add frosting to the crumbled cake, a little at a time, until the mixture is moist enough to form balls that hold their shape. Don't add too much; you want it to be firm, not mushy.
- Roll into balls: Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls. A tablespoon or cookie scoop can help with uniformity. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the balls: Put the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the cake balls firm up, which makes dipping easier.
- Melt the candy melts: Melt the candy melts in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Be careful not to overheat!
- Dip the sticks: Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy melts and insert it halfway into a cake ball. This helps the cake ball adhere to the stick.
- Dip the cake pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted candy melts, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off any excess coating.
- Decorate: Immediately decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, edible glitter, or other decorations before the candy melts set.
- Let set: Place the decorated cake pops in a cake pop stand or stick them into a Styrofoam block to set completely. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Add final touches: Once set, you can add any final details with edible markers or more melted candy melts using a piping bag.
📝 Notes
- If the cake pops are too wet, add a few crushed cookies to the mix.
- For easier dipping, melt the candy melts in a tall, narrow glass or mug.
