Cake pops are fun to make (especially with kids), and can be used in a myriad of ways. Baby showers, bridal showers, childrens' birthday parties are just some of the ways to use them. Imagine a child's birthday party, with every child getting their own cake pop! They would love it, and you will love using your creativity and imagination to make these delicious treats. You can even put them in a little box, tie with ribbon, and give as a gift when you're invited to someone's house for dinner. Enjoy.
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 30 minutes
Yield: 18 Cake Ball Pops
Ingredients:
- 1 (18-ounce) box cake mix of choice, baked in a 13x9-inch pan, cooled and halved (freeze other half for next time)
- 1/2 cup creamy frosting , your choice
- 1 (14-ounce) bag White Candy Melts (white chocolate chips
- 18 lollipop sticks
- Candy Colors
- Colored sugars, pearls and other decorations
Preparation:
- In a large bowl, crumble half of a 13x9-inch cake with the hands, until no large chunks remain. Add icing and mix with fingers until well combined. Using a cookie scoop, or small spoon, portion into 18 balls. Roll between the hands until round and smooth. Place on parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze until no longer sticky, but not rock hard, about 1 hour.
- Melt Candy Melts according to package directions. Dip lollipop stick ends into melted candy and insert into cake pops. Place back on parchment-lined tray and freeze for 1 hour to set the stick in the pop.
- Add candy color to small amounts of melted chocolate and, working with one pop at a time (leave the rest in the freezer), dip in melted chocolate until completely covered. Shake off excess. Immediately roll in sugars or place decorations on. If chocolate dries too fast, you can use royal icing to apply decorations. Stick in a thick piece of styrofoam to dry completely. Proceed with remainder of pops.
