Cakesicles: Easy Step By Step Recipe With Video Tutorial
These cake pops are made with boxed cake mix and store-bought or homemade frosting and then decorated to look like Jack-o'-lanterns, mummies, and Halloween confetti. Make these tasty Halloween cake pops for your next gathering and watch them disappear!
Prepare the boxed cake mix batter as directed on the box for a 9 x 13 cake pan. Let the baked cake cool completely before moving onto the next step.
Once the cake has cooled, break it apart into large pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl. Break the pieces with your hands and crumble them into the bowl.
Easy Cake Pops
Using your hands or a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix frosting (adding a ½ cup at a time) with cake crumbs until thoroughly combined and a wet batter that clumps easily develops.
Dip the end of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then press it about a third of the way into the cake ball upright to secure it in place. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
Transfer the cookie sheet to the freezer for 30 minutes or until the balls are firm and sturdy enough to be dipped in melted chocolate.
Minute Cake Pops
To make not so scary mummy cake pops, you'll need to use white candy melt wafers. First dip the cake pops in melted white candy, swirling off any excess and allow to set completely before moving on to the fun part. With a pastry bag, drizzle the candy to make it look like a mummy. Use large green sprinkles for the eyes.
These are definitely the least tedious to decorate. Simply dip the pops in black, orange, or white melted candies, and then add sprinkles.
I love how cute and simple these pumpkins are. Dip the cake pops in orange candy melts and use a green Tic Tac for the stem.
Homemade Chocolate Cake Pops
To make gluten-free Halloween cake pops, you simply need to use a quality gluten-free cake mix and follow the directions for a 9 x 13 cake. Expect to use all of the frosting with gluten-free cake mixes as they tend to have less moisture. Also, be sure to double-check that the candy melts and frosting are gluten-free and you should be good to go.
Freezing: To freeze cake pops, wrap each ball individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe airtight bag. Transfer to the freezer for 5 to 7 weeks. Defrost in the fridge before serving.
No. Melted chocolate will not set around the cake balls correctly. Always use candy melts or chocolate coating to coat cake pops.

If your cake pops are falling apart, the frosting-cake crumb mixture is too dry and needs more frosting. Return the cake balls to the bowl and remix adding more frosting a little at a time until a sticky, dough forms.
To prevent the cake ball from falling off the lollipop stick, dip the end of each stick in melted candy coating before inserting the stick in the cake ball. When the melts cool and harden, it acts like glue and helps keep the cake pop in place.

I believe that anyone can be an amazing home cook, and there's nothing better than family time around the table!No doubt about it, cake pops are fun. But while these bite-sized cakes on a stick can be a blast to eat, making them can turn into a not-so-fun affair, especially when those super-sweet morsels fall off the stick, crack, leak or are just plain lumpy.
We’re here to tell you there’s a fix to all sorts of cake pop fails, and it starts with a nice, smooth finish. We’ll show you how.
How To Make Smooth Cake Pops: An Easy Tutorial
To guarantee the cake pops are all the same size, use an ice cream scoop to shape the cakes. After you’ve scooped them all out, roll each one between your hands to bind crumbs together until the surface is smooth. Place the balls in the refrigerator for at least an hour so they don’t fall apart during the dipping process. Or you can store them in the fridge overnight.
Once your cake pops are sufficiently chilled, take them out of the fridge and roll them between your hands again to form each one into a tighter ball. If you’re opting for hearts or other shapes, form them now — before you insert the sticks!
After you’ve shaped your pops, gently slide in the sticks and put the cake pops back in the fridge for a few more minutes while you make the coating. Take the pops out about 10 minutes before you dip them so they don’t crack or fall apart after the chocolate coating has dried.
Smooth, Shiny Cake Pops
The most important part of getting a smooth finish to cake pops is the consistency of the coating, and one of the easiest ways to guarantee this is by melting candy melts correctly.
It’s suuuuuper easy to overheat candy melts. When they get too hot, they clump (so not good) and don’t fall off the spatula easily. Keep the following in mind as you melt the melts.
Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, lift up, turn and dip again until the entire surface is coated. Gently shake the excess coating from the top of the cake pop while it’s upside down.
Ways To Make Fondant Shiny
Once you’ve shaken out the last drop of excess chocolate, turn the cake pop right side up and gently shake it while twirling between your fingers. This helps even out the coating.
Once you’re done, stick the pop on a piece of Styrofoam to dry. For a more planet-friendly option, use an egg carton turned upside down.
Once they’re finished drying, you’re ready to decorate your cake pops, which will go much easier now because your cake pops are so smooth. Have fun!Click the link to see my complete tutorial on How To Make Cake Pops. (I will give you the shortened version here.)
Sour Cream Chocolate Cake With Glossy Chocolate Frosting
To make the cake balls, you need to make your cake into small crumbs (after it's cooled). Add about 1-2 cups of icing, until the cake and icing stick together into a ragged dough. Using firm pressure roll the cake into 1-2 tsp.-sized cake balls. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours to overnight.
Melt Dark Chocolate Candy Melts with 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil on low power until the candy is just melted. Candy should not get hot or it will seize.
Dip about 1/2 of the lollipop stick into the melted chocolate. This helps keep your cake pop on the stick. If you skip this step you may notice that your cake ball falls off of the stick more often.
Melting Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops — Poetry & Pies
Dip the pop into the melted chocolate, being careful not to twist or twirl the stick or that will loosen the pop. Try to just dip straight in and straight back out.
You want to have the cake pop below the stick, as you see in the photo. Because you want the extra candy to pool on the top of the pop. That makes the lip of the pot.
Now, you do have to be careful with the tapping here. Don't tap too hard. You're basically daring the pop to fall off of the stick by tapping
