Cake Pops Step By Step

How to Make

Baked cake either homemade or from scratch *see below for some combo ideas.
1/2 can frosting or 1 cup frosting
Candy melts or chocolate bark
Bake your cake and allow to cool. In a large mixing bowl, crumble your baked cake into small crumbs. Stir in frosting.



Dough should be moist enough to form into balls. You can add a little more frosting if needed. Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper. Roll dough into balls about the size of a quarter. We use a small scoop to form balls.





Place on cookie sheet. When all balls are rolled freeze for 30 minute-1 hour.



Melt candy melts in a bowl in the microwave. Stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Poke a fork in a cake ball if you want just cake bites or insert a lollipop stick if you'd like pops. Dip in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper.

If you'd like to add a drizzle on the top melt a different color of melts or use white chocolate. Place melted chocolate in a plastic bag with the corner snipped off or a pastry bag. Working quickly drizzle each ball with chocolate. Freeze or chill for a few hours. Serve. If you'd like to add sprinkles add when chocolate is still wet.
