HOW TO MAKE CAKE POPS (THE EASY WAY)



How to Make Cake Pops (the easy way) image

This recipe shows the easiest way to make cake pops using a cake mix and store-bought frosting.

Provided by Kit

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 box of Cake Mix
All the ingredients called for on the box of cake mix
1 carton of Frosting
Sticks for the Cake Pops (Target and Michaels both sell them)
about 2 1/4 cups Melting Chocolate or Almond Bark
Nonpareils or Sprinkles

Steps:

  • Start by preparing a cake using the cake mix and following the instructions on the box. Bake the cake and let it cool. Save the box from the cake mix - you will need this later
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake and the frosting. I recommend gradually adding the frosting until the cake pops are moist and easy to form into balls.
  • Stir until small crumbs form.
  • Then form the crumbs into small balls.
  • Next, melt about 1/4 cup of the almond bark. Dip the sticks in the melted chocolate and then stick them in the cake balls, being careful not to go through the balls.
  • This is the most important step: freeze the cake balls. You need to freeze the cake balls, otherwise, they will break up when you dip them in the melted chocolate. Freeze the cake balls for at least 2 hours. I left them in the freezer for two days because I got busy with other things.
  • Before you melt the chocolate, take the box from the cake mix and use a knife to gently poke small holes in the box. You will be placing the cake pops in the holes while the chocolate dries.
  • Melt about 2 cups of melting chocolate or almond bark. It works well to melt it in a mug placed in the microwave.
  • One by one, dunk the cake pops in the melted chocolate, shake off the excess, and sprinkle with nonpareils.
  • Carefully place the cake pops in the box to dry. Once the chocolate sets it is time to eat!

  • Add frosting, mixing with fingers until well combined.
  • Form into cake balls and chill until set, about 2 hours.Small cake pops: 1 tablespoon-sized cake balls (each about 1 1/4 inch diameter) makes about 48 cake pops.Medium cake pops: 2 tablespoons-sized cake balls (each about 1 1/2 inch diameter) makes about 24 cake pops.Large cake pops: 3 tablespoons-sized cake balls (each about 1 3/4 inch diameter) makes about 16 cake pops.

  • Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted candy, then into set cake balls. Repeat with all cake balls, then let chill again until set, about 10 minutes. Reserve remaining melted candy.
  • Dip the cake balls, one at a time, into remaining melted candy. Tap lightly to remove excess. If needed, you can reheat the candy with some EZ Thin Dipping Aid to thin it out for easier dipping.
  • Immediately cover with sprinkles or topping of choice, then transfer to craft foam. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Chill until set, about 10 to 15 minutes.
