Find me one person who doesn't like cake pops! I made two batches of cake pops in two different flavors last week and even experimented a bit with the coating, swirling a few colors together for a cool tie-dye effect. I'm not quite there yet on what I was setting out to achieve, but my kids enjoyed swirling the colors together, so I call that mission accomplished!

Let's take a step back to see how all these cake pops popped (lol) up in my kitchen last week. Now that I am unemployed temporarily, I get one question a lot from friends and family: what do you do all day?
Stabilized Whipped Cream Frosting
When I was employed, I would daydream often about what not working would feel like - all the wonderful and productive things I would get done, all the naps I would take, the amazing physical shape I'd be in from all the working out I'd do, how organized my house would be, how close I'd be with my kids from spending so much more time with them, and just how generally un-hurried I'd be.
When I'm working, I always feel behind the clock - wake up, get everyone dressed and fed before the school bus comes, hurry up and get to work, hurry up and get to all the meetings, hurry up and get home to make dinner, hurry up to finish cleaning up for the night and prepare for the following day, hurry up and get to bed so I can wake up and do it all over again.
Turns out, time really flies and there's still plenty of hurry! The days zip by and some days I don't even know where the time went or what I have done. No joke!

I wouldn't have believed it myself when I was working, but believe you me, I'm not exaggerating. This is said with all due respect to my (now) fellow SAHMs. I
Am not playing into the mommy wars whatsoever - I have much respect for the amount of work and time it takes to keep a household running.
And now that I have some experience with being both a working mom and a stay-at-home mom, I can say with honesty and respect that neither is a luxury nor ideal.

I have found that keeping to a schedule, though, helps me structure my day and actually get things done. Sort of like, well, my calendar when in the office.
I get the kids to school, then I work out (most days), shower and eat, then I run my errands, check my email, apply for some jobs, and occasionally have lunch with my mom or a friend.
By the time I do all that, the kids are just about getting off the school bus again! So, to help build in more time for myself, I've learned to think ahead and plan and be efficient with my time - go figure!
How To Make Cake Pops! The New Craze!
I know, shouldn't have taken me that long to figure that out, but it did. Of course, just like when I am working, I find plenty of time to procrastinate doing the things I really just don't feel like doing.
On the procrastination / baking docket this past week was chocolate cake. A friend asked me to bake it for her friend's birthday dinner.
So what happened is this - I baked said chocolate cake. Then, I had a decent amount of cake crumbs leftover from leveling the two tiers, so what did I do? Like any good baker would do, I made cake pops!
Ingredient Funfetti Cake Pops (using A Box Of Cake Mix)
Aha, now this story has come full circle. I patted myself on the back for not being wasteful and for using the leftovers to make something tasty.
When my kids came home that day, I was so excited to show them the cake pops I had made for them. My older daughter was thrilled! She's a chocoholic and devoured about 5 of them immediately.
My younger daughter, though, was less than thrilled... Apparently she no longer likes chocolate (hmmmm, but what about all those chocolate candy bars she seems to consume at an alarming rate?! But those aren't CAKE, mommy, and it's chocolate cake I don't like!) and requested (

: whined and complained and perhaps shed a few tears for dramatic effect) that I make her the strawberry cheesecake cake pops just like at Starbucks.
So, just like any good mom would do, I told her to stop crying. And promptly whipped up a batch of vanilla cake and strawberry frosting (don't judge me).
I neglected to include the cheesecake part simply because that just seemed too complicated and time-consuming.. She loved them! Needless to say, I did a lot of procrastinating that day, but now we have many and varied flavors of cake pops for my wonderful children to enjoy 🙂

Easy Cake Pops
Contrary to popular belief, cake pops are actually incredibly easy to make! What initially got me hooked on these little lollipop cakes, was Starbucks.
Starbucks Cake Pops can easily be recreated at home, with only 3 ingredients. The secret is making cake pops with regular cake mix.
If you love Starbucks like me, but don’t love the price tag, you need to try my Starbucks Spinach Feta Wraps and my Starbucks Bacon And Gruyere Egg Bites.
Easy Cake Pop Recipe
I remember the first time I made these I was so nervous. I went on a hunt for a cookie scoop, icing sugar, flour, butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and chocolate chips all at different grocery stores.
The next time I made them I saved myself a lot of time by buying a boxed cake mix. This is a great way to make your life more simple, and I will never go back to my first attempt method.
The inside of the cakes pops is a combination of cake mixed with frosting, which gives it the gooey soft texture. The cake pop frosting is simply melted chocolate wafers. Add sprinkles if you wish, and you’ve got yourself the best cake pop recipe!
Cake Pop Maker Black Forest Cake Balls
I’m going to show you two ways on how to make cake pops. Or as some may like to call it, lollipop cakes.
The first is by using a standard cake mix or leftover cake and mixing it in with enough frosting. Then chilling the dough to make cold cake balls, and sticking them into cake pop sticks or popsicle sticks.
Once you have your cake pop ball, you then dip it into melted candy. You will get rid of excess chocolate and allow it to solidify before eating.
Whipped Cream Frosting
The other way to make them is by using cake pop molds. This is where you would add the cake pop batter to a round pan and it would form the cake into donut holes.
Beat cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a bowl. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish. Stir the frosting into the crumbled cake, cover, and freeze until chilled.
Chocolate Whipped Cream Frosting
It’s easier to roll the cake & frosting mixture into perfectly round balls if it’s cold. The cake & frosting mixture is super moist, and at room temperature it makes it extremely difficult to shape them perfectly.
Once they have been frozen, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a baking sheet.
Melt candy melts in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip each lollipop stick into the white chocolate, then stick into one of the cake pop balls.
The Best Whipped Cream Frosting
Gently dip the balls into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to coat. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
The best way to allow the coating to dry and set– without ruining the perfectly round cake pop– is to place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a box to harden. There you have it, you have easy cake pops!
These are perfect to bring to baby showers, birthday parties, or any celebration where you want to impress your guests! Homemade
