Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well in between, until it's smooth. Don't overheat—the chocolate will continue to melt a little each time you stir it.

You can also use a double boiler if you prefer. However, stir often so the chocolate on the bottom doesn't burn. Be careful not to let any water splash into the chocolate or it'll seize up!

A note of caution: start with small additions first—I'm talking half of a teaspoon or so. You can always add more as you need to reach a perfect consistency for dipping.

As you dip the gender reveal cake pops, the candy melts will cool down and might start to thicken again. Try rewarming the candy melts a bit, first, before grabbing the shortening again.

Simply store the pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep them out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.

Freeze leftover gender reveal cake pops in a heavy-duty zip-top bag for up to six months. You can enjoy them again after your baby boy or girl has arrived!

Expert Tip: For the best cake pops, make sure the balls are smooth before you dip them. If you're struggling (or have a hot kitchen) pop the cake/frosting in the fridge for a bit—it's easier to work with chilled dough.

Gender

Cake pops tend to crack when there is a large temperature difference between the candy melts and the cake. If yours start to crack, let the candy melts cool and the cake pops sit at room temperature for a bit.

Jamie's Rabbits: The Post About How To Make Cake Pops

You'll get about 18 gender reveal cake pops from one box of mix. They're a little smaller than golf balls. Need more? You can easily double or triple the recipe using the option in the recipe card below.

There are stands you can buy from the store, but they’re quite bland and boring. Or, you can make one (like I did), by taking a container of some kind and using flower arrangement foam to fill it—then decorate the top. A cheap styrofoam block or decorated Amazon box also works great!

No, you won’t. However, depending on the thickness of the white (if you add any shortening to the coating) you may see a little color. In that case, double-dip the white. Triple dip if you really need to.

Baby Gender Reveal Party Cake Pops

Use white cake for a clean, bright gender reveal color. Even a simple yellow cake will mess up the shade—mixed with blue you'll get green, and mixed with pink you'll end up with orange cake batter!

However, if you're aiming for pink cake pops, you could opt for strawberry or pink velvet cake—those'll do the trick. (I've linked my two favorite pink cakes below!)

I don't know how it is where you live but I swear, ever since Pinterest came on the scene people around here have been vying for the cutest party food, the most adorable decor, and on and on and on.

I’ve made Oreo truffles multiple times, which are somewhat similar to cake pops. Somewhat. They’re essentially the cookie version of cake pops. Basically dessert cousins. I figured, how hard could it be?

Now, I know mine aren’t 100% true cake pops– they’re basically cake balls with sticks in them, but people can still carry them around like cake pops. I mean, who wants messy hands? Anyway, I’ll tell you at the end of the post how to make them into legit cake pops with the cake portion at the top and the stick coming out the bottom.

Cake Pop Recipe

Prepare a boxed cake mix as directed on the box. Let the cake cool completely. Wash your hands. Next, crumble the cake into fine crumbs with your hands in a large bowl. Mix in about 1/3 cup of icing (I used store bought milk chocolate) with your hands. The mixture should be dense but not gooey. Gooey cake balls gross me out. Grab a cookie scoop (I used my 1.5 T scoop, which I LOVE). (Remember, everyone needs a cookie scoop, or 3.) Then, scoop out the mixture, packing the cake mixture into the scoop as you scoop it (I smushed the open side of the cookie scoop against the inside of the bowl). Smush the mixture in your hand to pack it tightly into a ball. Roll it into a nicely shaped ball. Roll the remaining mixture into balls (my cake mix made 18 balls).

Grab your Candy Melts (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric) and a small microwaveable dish (I used a small oatmeal bowl). Put about 5 morsels into the bowl and melt them in the microwave. Next, grab your cake pop sticks (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric). Dip your stick into the melted Candy Melt and quickly stick it into
