Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Cake: Bake your cake according to the package instructions using a cake mix or favorite recipe. Preheat oven to 350°F and grease your pan. Allow cake to cool completely.
- Crumble Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl until no large pieces remain.
- Mix with Frosting: Add chosen frosting to the crumbs, mixing until the mixture is cohesive and moldable.
- Shape Pops: Form the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter, placing them on a lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the shaped cake balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt chocolate or candy melts until smooth, dip the lollipop stick in chocolate, then insert it halfway into each cake ball. Coat each pop in melted chocolate.
- Decorate: Immediately decorate while the chocolate is still wet with sprinkles, candy eyes, or edible glitter.
- Set: Place the decorated cake pops upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand until the chocolate sets.
