INSTRUCTIONS

	Prepare the Cake:
❶	According to the directions on the box for the cake mix, preheat your oven.
❷	As directed on the package, prepare the cake mix.
❸	Fill a baking pan with oil, pour in the mixture, and bake according to the recipe.
❹	On a cooling rack, let the cake cool fully.

	Get the cake mixture ready.
❶	After the cake cools, use a food processor or your hands to break it into tiny crumbs.
❷	Combine one cup of frosting and the cake crumbs in a large basin. When pushed together, the mixture should maintain its form and have the consistency of cookie dough.

	Create the Cake Balls:
❶	Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a tiny cookie scoop.
❷	Transfer the cake balls to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
❸	Once solid, freeze for one hour or refrigerate for at least two hours.

	Apply a coat to the cake pops:
❶	Melt the candy melts as directed on the packaging in a microwave-safe bowl. If the candy melts are too thick, add some vegetable shortening.
❷	Each lollipop stick should be dipped halfway into the melted candy before being inserted into a cake ball. This aids in keeping the stick secure.
❸	After submerging each cake pop in the liquefied confection, carefully remove any extra.
❹	Before the coating hardens, add sprinkles or other embellishments.
❺	To ensure that the cake pops dry fully, place them in a cake pop stand or styrofoam block.

FAQ

Can I make my own cake rather than using a box mix?

Of course! Cake that is homemade is just as good. Just be careful that it cools completely before collapsing.

What’s causing my cake pops to break?

If the cake balls are too cold to dip, cracks may occur. Before coating, let them rest for a few minutes at room temperature.

How can I smooth out the coating?

For a smoother coating, thin down the melted candy with a tiny bit of vegetable shortening.

Can I substitute chocolate for the candy melts?

Yes, melted chocolate works quite well, but candy melts are more manageable and available in a wider range of colors.

If I don’t have any lollipops, what can I use instead?

As an alternative, you may use toothpicks, skewers, or even little pretzel sticks.
