Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by baking your cake per the box directions, then allowing it to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.
- Add in the frosting, and blend together until the mixture becomes a moldable dough that holds its shape.
Forming the Cake Balls
- Take small amounts of the cake and frosting mixture and roll them into balls about one inch in diameter.
- Insert cake pop sticks into each one, ensuring they go in deep enough to hold up during the dipping process.
- Arrange them on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 minutes.
Melting the Candy Melts
- Prepare to melt your candy melts by placing each color in separate bowls.
- Microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until completely smooth and melted.
Dipping and Decorating
- Take the chilled cake balls out of the freezer and dip each one into a melted candy melt, ensuring the entire ball is coated.
- Allow any excess coating to drip off, and while the candy is still wet, press a candy eye in the center of each cake pop.
Final Touches
- Using the black gel icing, add small dots and swirls around the candy eye for decoration.
- Be creative with your designs!
Setting the Cake Pops
- Place the cake pops into a foam block to stand upright while they set.
- Allow them to harden completely at room temperature for a couple of hours before serving or storing.
Notes
These cake pops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Serve with apple cider or hot cocoa.
