LEMON CAKE POPS FROM SCRATCH
These are really yummy cake pops that my kids love. If you don't like things super sweet, you can just mix the cake with cream cheese instead of frosting. Store in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a rectangular baking dish with butter.
- Cream 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and mix into the batter 1/4 cup at a time. Beat in lemon zest. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Combine cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with lemon juice, mixing until frosting has the desired consistency.
- Poke holes 2 to 3 inches apart into 1 side of a styrofoam block using a lollipop stick.
- Trim off tops and sides of the cake. Crumble the cake into very fine crumbs using your hands. Mix in 2 tablespoons frosting until thoroughly combined. Add more frosting if necessary until mixture is smooth and sticks together.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Roll the cake mixture into walnut-sized balls. Arrange cake balls on lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Melt 1/4 of the confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes.
- Poke a small hole into each cake ball with a lollipop stick. Dip lollipop sticks into the confectioners' coating and stick one into each cake ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Melt remaining confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Dip cake balls into the coating; tap to remove excess coating. Scatter sprinkles over the cake balls. Stick cake pops upright in the prepared foam block. Allow to dry completely.

LEMON CAKE POPS
This is my trial run on cake pops. For this first effort, I used a cake mix. I was surprised at how well they turned out. These are more time consuming than difficult. The most difficulty was getting the icing on the pops without them falling off the stick. I packaged them real pretty and asked four friends to be my testers...

Steps:
- 1. Bake cake as directed on box. Cool completely.
- 2. Crumble cake into large bowl.
- 3. Mix cake crumbs thoroughly with 2/3 or up to 1 can of the frosting. Use hands or mixer.
- 4. Roll mixture into little balls and place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. I used a mini ice cream scooper to keep the balls uniform.
- 5. Place cake balls in refrigerator and chill for several hours or 15 - 30 minutes in the freezer.
- 6. After the cake balls are chilled, melt some of the bark according to directions; dip stick in the icing and place in the cake ball.
- 7. Continue until all cake balls have sticks. Refrigerate again until sticks set (10-15 minutes)
- 8. Melt rest of the bark, rolls cake balls in icing, carefully tap off extra icing
- 9. If decorating with sprinkles, pearls or colored sugar, do so immediately after dipping in icing. The icing sets quickly.
- 10. Push sticks into styrofoam block, space pops so they won't touch.
- 11. Let cake pops set completely
Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons provide the best flavor for lemon cake pops. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake pops tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the cake pops before dipping them in chocolate. Chilling the cake pops will help the chocolate set more quickly and evenly.
- Use a variety of toppings. You can use sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter to decorate your lemon cake pops.
- Serve the cake pops immediately. Lemon cake pops are best served fresh.
Conclusion:
Lemon cake pops are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give lemon cake pops a try!
