I made cake pops over the weekend for our Easter drama and Easter dinner at Pastor's house. I made almost 50 between the two days. It was a lot of fun and yummy!
Here is the recipe I used:
Ingredients:
- 1 box vanilla cake mix or confetti cake mix
- 1/2-3/4 cup cream cheese frosting
- 1 package of pink candy coating (vanilla flavored)
- 1 cup white nonpareils Sprinkles
- 50 Lollipop sticks
Instructions:
- Bake the vanilla or confetti cake mix upon the package direction. Once baked, fully crumble the cake into a large bowl along with the cream cheese frosting. Mix everything by hand until thickened. If needed add a little bit more frosting as you go. Remember you have to use this mix to make your cake balls so the thicker the better.
- Start rolling 1 inch cake pieces into balls. Place them on a tray and cover them with plastic wrap. Now, they need to refrigerate all night.
- The next day, put the pink “vanilla flavor” candy coating into a bowl (that you can microwave). Melt the coating accordingly to the package description. Leave the melted coating on the side and start the dipping process. First, emerge the tip of a lollipop stick into the coating, then and insert into it into a cake balls (leave them on a plate or tray lollipop sticks up). Second, do it for all the cake balls.
- Now you are ready to fully coat the cake balls. Take each cake pop at a time and dip them into the pink candy coating. Make sure you hold the stick correctly and gently rotate the cake pop until covered of delicious candy coating. Tip: tap on the side of the bowl in order to not have too much coating on each pop. Place each cake pop, ball up, on a styrofoam block. Quickly sprinkle the white nonpareils sprinkles. Be quick because the coating will start getting harder quick. Refrigerate for 20 minutes. That’s it!
We LOVE cake pops! Yours look so perfect, mine don't turn out quite as nice :)
