Cake pops are made from cake balls styled as a lollipop, shaped into many sizes, flavors, and colors. They are typically make with Shortened butter cakes or oil cakes, such as cake mixes. Here we show you how to attach the formed cake ball to a lollipop stick and how to dip it in candy melts to make a cake pop. For more information, go to our tutorial Cake Pops 101. After you make the cake pops or balls, attach them to lollipop sticks and dip.
2 1/2 - 3 cups Cake scraps or a baked and cooled cake from a mix; you can use the cake scraps generated from our Festive Caramel Mini-Cakes Petits Fours Recipe Tutorial.
1/2 - 1 cup buttercream icing that does not require refrigeration, such as Tami's or Perfect Buttercream, or store-bought icing; use the left-over frosting from our Festive Caramel Mini-Cakes Petits Fours Recipe Tutorial.
Step By Step Cake Pops
2. Add about 1/2 cup frosting to the crumbled cake and mix it into the cake crumbs. Gently squeeze the mixture in your hands to make sure that the frosting is evenly distributed.
Squeeze the mixture in your hand. If it holds together, do not add more icing. If it is still VERY crumbly, add a little more frosting and mix again.
The mixture should still look a little crumbly. A rest in the fridge will transform this mixture to a nice dough-like consistency.
How To Make Cake Pops
SARAH SAYS: You do not want to add too much frosting to your cake. If you do, the cake ball will have an unpleasant “wet cake” texture”.
1. After the cake ball “dough” has rested in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour, it is time to form the cake balls.
Scoop out a heaping tablespoon of the mixture, then compress it a little with your hands. Then roll it into a nice neat ball.Want to learn how to make the perfect Cake Pops?

Vanilla cake — I use a box cake mix for these cake balls for convenience. However, if you have some leftovercake lying around, you can use that as well because nothing beats homemade cake. If you prefer you can use chocolate cake, red velvet cake, or strawberry cake instead.
Frosting — you can use homemade vanilla frosting (great use for leftovers) or store-bought frosting. I prefer homemade for the flavor, but sometimes convenience wins! Of course feel free to use chocolate frosting or cream cheese frosting instead.
Cake Balls Recipe
Candy melts — once melted and dipped, candy melts will set up with the same look and texture as chocolate. It’s easier to use than chocolate, as you can skip tempering it. Careful not to scorch the melts, or they’ll harden too quickly to work with.
6. Melt candy or chocolate wafers according to the package instructions. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and insert about halfway into a cake ball.
7. Dip the cake ball into the chocolate. Remove and gently tap on the side of the cup to let excess coating drip off.

If you don’t have candy melts, try melting wafers (my favorite is Ghirardelli Vanilla) or melting good white chocolate or dark chocolate bars. If the chocolate is too thick, you can try stirring in 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the melted chocolate.
The main culprit of a cracked cake pop coating is due to significant temperature differences in the cake balls. If the cake balls are too cold and the melted candy melt is too hot, the coating will crack as the hot mixture will cause the cake balls to expand and then contract. To prevent this from happening, make sure the coating isn’t super hot when you dip your cake into it. Allow your coating to cool for a few minutes before dipping.
Don’t skip dipping lollipop sticks in the frosting before inserting into the ball. This helps the sticks stay put in the balls as they harden. Not inserting the lollipop stick deep enough will cause them to fall off as well. Finally, make sure your lollipop sticks aren’t too thin, as you need a thick enough stick to hold the weight of the cake balls. My go-to lollipop sticks are pictured above.
How To Make Best Cake Pops Recipe For Lazy People
If you’re making cake balls ahead of time, you can keep un-dipped cake balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. After dipped and decorated, store them in an airtight sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can freeze uncoated and coated cake balls for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, let them thaw at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before eating.

Cakes with buttercream icing work best for this recipe, but you can do this with cream cheese frosting cakes as well. It’s just a little less sticky. As for cake, you can use from-scratch cakes, store-bought or box cake mix cakes. They’ll all be delicious!
Melting candy wafers usually takes 1 to 2 minutes. I recommend stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth. Be sure not to over-melt the candy coating. It will burn and become too thick to stir and coat the cake balls evenly.
