Whether you’re making my Starbucks copycat vanilla birthday cake pop, red velvet cake pops, or no-bake oreo cake pops, this simple guide will make you a master at cake pop making in no time!
Cake pops are very simple to make because they only require only a few ingredients like baked boxed cake mix, vanilla frosting, and of course they are dipped in melted candy melts (the kind you can pour into molds).
Strawberry Cake Pops With Chocolate Coating And Sprinkles
For cake balls– When making cake balls all you really need is a baked cake made with cake mix, frosting, and candy melts to coat the outside of the balls. You can shape the cake balls with your hands or use a meatballer to get the perfect shape and size each time.
For cake pops– you will need the same ingredients here but you need to add cake pop sticks and a styrofoam block to keep the pops upright until they harden.
Here is a quick rundown on how to make these addictive and delicious treats. You can find the full detailed recipe in the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.

Overheat– When melting candy melts, be careful and make sure you do NOT overheat the candy coating. If this happens it will harden up too much.
Thin it out– In order to get a smooth candy coating that will ensure that your cake balls have a gorgeous outer shell you need to thin it out. You can mix in Crisco shortening, coconut oil, or EZ-thin dipping aid for a runnier consistency.
The best way to prevent the cake balls from falling off the stick is by making sure you added enough frosting to the cake balls and thinning out the candy coating. If the chocolate coating is too thick it will be heavy and way down on the cake balls.
Cakeball Pops And The Secret To Dipping Anything In Chocolate
TIP: If you want to avoid using the stick, just make cake balls instead! I have an easy recipe for red velvet cake balls and no-bake oreo cake balls right here in my blog.
If you’re looking into a super fast and easy version of my original vanilla cake pops, you have to try my no-bake oreo cake pops (VIDEO). All you need is Oreos, cream cheese, and candy melts. That’s it!
The only substitute for candy melts would be chocolate. If you set out to make cake balls without candy melts, you will need to mix 1 tbsp vegetable oil for every 1 cup of chocolate chips.

There are usually two reasons why they can crack. Before dipping the balls you want to set the stick by placing the cake pops in the freezer for 15 minutes. If you dip them and the candy melts are too hot, they will crack because of the sudden temperature change. Or the cake balls were too cold if you kept them in the freezer for over 15 minutes. Again, the drastic temperature change can cause the cracking effect here as well.

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.
If you've never made cake pops before, I think you'll be surprised at how easy these Sprinkles Cake Pops are to make. They do take a little time, but each step is simple.
How To Dip Cake Balls On Bluprint
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.
Basic Cake Balls Recipe
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.
How To Dip Cake Balls, Cake Pops And Truffles
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
How To Make Cake Balls
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.

Once your Birthday Cake Pops are coated in sprinkles, return them to the baking sheet. Refrigerate the finished cake pops until ready to serve.
If you've ever walked the baking aisle at a well-stocked grocery store, you've probably noticed lots of different types of sprinkles! I used nonpareils, but you can use other types for these Birthday Cake Pops, too:
You can serve cake pops with the sticks facing up, like I do here, or with the sticks facing down (cake side up).
