Instructions

Ready to create some cake pop magic? Let’s dive in with step-by-step instructions that are easy to follow!

1. 
   

   Bake the Cake: Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Mix the cake ingredients in a large bowl and pour the batter into a greased baking pan. Bake until golden and toothpick comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.

   
   
2. 
   

   Crumble & Combine: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a bowl. Add 1 cup of frosting and mix until combined. Use your hands if necessary to form a dough-like consistency.

   
   
3. 
   

   Shape for Success: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Insert a lollipop stick halfway into each ball. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.

   
   
4. 
   

   Melt and Dip: While the cake pops are firming, melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Once melted, dip the cake pops into the melted candy, coating thoroughly. Allow excess to drip off.

   
   
5. 
   

   Decorate Delightfully: Before the coating sets, quickly add your sprinkles or edible decorations. Stand the cake pops in a styrofoam block or even hold them upright in a cup until the coating hardens.
