♥ How to make CakePops ♥

When done correctly Cake Pops can be easy! There's a couple tricks I've learned through trial and error that I'll share here in my how to!

Start by gathering all your ingredients and tools! You'll need
-One bow of favorite cake mix
-One can of favorite frosting
-Eggs Oil Water (for cake mix)
-Candy melts
-Sucker Sticks
-Styrofoam block
-Standing mixer
-Spatula
-Wax paper covered cookie sheet

Make your cake as directed.
Bake and allow to completely cool!



Combine cooled cake crumbled in mixer bowl with frosting!


Mix till it turns to a doughy mess! Cover bowl with saran wrap and chill in freezer for about 30 mins

Remove chill mix and roll into sucker size balls, place on a wax paper covered cookie sheet. *If dough starts to get sticky, place bowl back in freezer to chill a bit more. When all dough is formed into balls, place sheet one again into the freezer to chill.

Melt a small amount of chocolate in microwave.

Gather cookie sheet from the freezer and working quickly dip the sucker sticks into melted chocolate and then insert into chilled ball. All sounds so perverted when I say it that way. Oh well!



Don't be worried if your balls have a flat head on them from sitting on the cookie sheet.
Once they are dipped and hung upside down to remove the extra chocolate, that chocolate usually rounds out the head.... Usually.

Once again place back into the freezer while you prep for next step!

Melt all of your chocolate in the bowl and gather all your tools, Styrofoam board chocolate bowl and sprinkles

Dip chilled ball into chocolate

Swirl and lightly tap to remove extra chocolate. While the chocolate is still soft add and decorations the require sticking♥


Ta-Da! CakePops ♥
Don't worry you're going to do fine! Just remember these are pretty time consuming and require space for a cookie sheet in your freezer. So before you start make sure you clear a spot and don't have to hit that wall while you're working! And don't be afraid to "over" chill the pops while they're chilling. usually 15-30 mins is good enough. And once they're dipped they don't need refrigeration. It will just make the chocolate sweat. Room temp is just fine, unless you have no A/C and live in hell.... then your pops are doomed. Muahahaha. just kidding they're going to be great and your friends and family will LOVE them!
Enjoy!♥
