There’s just something about eating a decorative, bite-sized dessert on a stick that is so fun. My kids love these!

This recipe is perfect for beginners, with an easy step by step tutorial included. It’s a great way to use up any leftover cake and frosting. I love the classic white cake + buttercream combo, but there are so many other yummy variations you can make too. They are so fun to decorate and can be served at literally any occasion!
I used white cake for this recipe, but you can really use any flavor of box cake mix (or make your favorite recipe from scratch).
A classic buttercream is also my favorite type of frosting for cake pops, but feel free to use others like chocolate buttercream, cream cheese frosting or strawberry buttercream.
Cake Pops Recipe
Many ways to decorate cake pops! Add sprinkles or jimmies while the chocolate is still wet. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, let the chocolate coating harden first, then drizzle more chocolate on top.
It’s all about the frosting! When you mix the frosting in with the cake, the mixture should hold together when squeezed. If the mixture is crumbly, that means it needs more frosting. Make sure to only add in a little at a time so that the cake doesn’t get too soggy. If you have a very moist cake, you may not need much frosting at all.
If the chocolate coating has cracked, it’s likely due to the difference in temperature between the cake balls and the melted coating chocolate. Don’t freeze the balls for longer than instructed, or else the super cold cake combined with the warm melted chocolate could cause cracking.

The type of chocolate you use can also contribute to whether or not the cake pops crack. Using melted chocolate chips may cause cracking, so I’d suggest using chocolate melting wafers instead. They have a thicker texture once hardened and a smooth finish, which result in a more sturdy exterior.
Sure! While I prefer homemade frosting over canned, I’ve never been one to shy away from an easier shortcut! Store-bought frosting usually comes in a 16 ounce can, so you’ll only need half (8 ounces) to make this recipe.
I’ve had the most success using chocolate melting wafers because of their super smooth finish (Ghirardelli melting wafers are my favorite). A high quality chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli or Bakers) would be the next best option.

They can be! Use your favorite gluten-free cake mix or pick up a premade gluten-free cake from your local grocery or bakery. All other ingredients needed to make this recipe are free from gluten!
Yes you can freeze them, just make sure they’ve dried completely before freezing. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Let thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.
You can also use 8 ounces of frosting from the store (half of a 16 ounce can) to make it easier, I just prefer the homemade buttercream.

Make sure that you’re only working with about five cake pops at a time. Leave the rest in the freezer so that they don’t soften too much while you work on the others. You want them to be really cold when working with them.
After dipping the stick in melted chocolate, let it dry first before sticking into the cake ball. It’s easier to work with this way and is less likely to fall off when dipping the whole cake pop into melted chocolate.

Feel free to use your favorite white cake recipe for these Rainbow Cake Pops though, if you have one. You'll need 2 (8 or 9-inch) baked cake layers to make 24 cake pops.
You can also great creative and use different cake / frosting flavors or different colors of candy melts. Just keep in mind that if you use a dark-colored cake (like chocolate), then white or other light-colored candy melts may not cover your pops well.

The first step is baking your cake. Simply follow the package directions, then let your cake cool completely before starting the cake pops.
Once your cake is baked and cooled, place it in a large bowl and use your hands or a fork to crumble it.
Next, you'll add frosting, and you can use your hands for this step, too. The amount of frosting you'll need depends on a few things: how moist your cake is; how much liquid is in your frosting, etc. You want to add just enough frosting to hold the cake together when rolled into a ball. So start with a small amount of frosting and add more if needed.

To form the cake pops, take a heaping tablespoon of the cake / frosting mixture. Roll it between your palms to form a ball. Don't worry if your balls have minor imperfections, because the candy coating will cover any small flaws.
Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or foil). Then, refrigerate the pops for two hours or freeze them for one hour. Don't skip this step, because it firms the pops and keeps them from falling apart.
Melt a few candy melts in a small bowl, then dip in the end of a stick. Insert the candy-coated end into a cake pop ball.

When all the sticks have been added, return the cake pops to the refrigerator or freezer to allow the candy to harden. It should take about 15 minutes in the freezer or a little longer in the fridge.
You'll need a small bowl. A coffee cup would also work. Fill the bowl with candy melts, then melt in the microwave according to the package directions.
Holding a cake pop by the stick, dip it into the melted candy, rotating to coat. Remove the cake pop from the candy and

To get the sprinkles to stick to your cake pops, you'll need to add them before the candy coating hardens. Work quickly!
I like to set up an assembly-line: a bowl of candy melts; a small bowl of sprinkles; and a second, deeper bowl to catch the excess sprinkles (and any candy coating drips).
Hold the freshly dipped cake pop over the deeper bowl, then add your sprinkles, working fast. Rotate the cake pop as you work to ensure you're covering the whole pop.
