How To Make Sunflower Cake Pops

Winter has been a never-ending season of cold and wind and wayyy too much snow! We’ve had a fun time baking and keeping warm by the oven but now that the sun is out, the birds are singing, grass is growing and the temps are on the rise, there’s no better way to celebrate than with some super easy Sunflower Cake Pops. With only 4 ingredients plus sticks and a cake pop stand, you’ll be all set to create your own sweet sunshiny treats. Here’s how:

Make sure you have everything you need right in front of you because you will be working at a pretty fast pace. Also, turn over all your m&m’s with the letters down so you can have all the plain sides facing forward.

First, attach your cake ball to the stick. Dip and coat ball fully in melted chocolate. Prop the wet pop in your stand. Immediately take an m&m in each hand and attach to top of wet pop. Continue adding m&ms quickly down each side. (If coating dries too fast you can add more melted candy with the tip of a pop stick and attach m&ms but they will sit a little higher than those you already pressed into the wet pop). When you have a small space about the size of a final m&m, stop and leave that last space blank. Allow to dry fully. Meanwhile you can shape the leaves.

Take a small piece of the Laffy Taffy and mold it with your fingers to look like two leaves. Using melted chocolate, apply the leaves to the bottom spaces of the dried cake pops. Hold it gently in place until it sets and prop in stand.

If you’re not happy with the shape of the leaves after applying, wait a few minutes until they have adhered and dried onto the cake pop and you can gently reshape them.

And there you have it. Simple materials and a few easy steps and you’re ready to share some Springtime Sunshine with your very own Sunny Day Sunflower Cake Pops!

I love making cake pops to give away as party favors and a DIY cake pop bouquet makes the cutest centerpiece on your Easter dessert table and these bright yellow sunflower cake pops are just the thing!

No Bake Cake Pops

To make it easy, I use a cake box mix but I prefer to use homemade buttercream and for this one, I usually use my recipe for delicious chocolate buttercream. You can also use store-bought frosting if that’s what you like!

I’ve gone for double the chocolate here, so chocolate cake mixed with chocolate buttercream and then it’s dipped in yellow melting wafers. Perfect for chocolate lovers and to welcome Spring! Of course, cake pops can be made in a variety of flavors, so if you’d like to try another flavor, check out my vanilla cake pops, Oreo cake pops, or chocolate cake pops!

Chocolate wafers, sometimes known as candy melts, are perfect for melting. They melt smoothly and set firmly which makes them the best choice for making cake pops! You can find wafers in the baking aisle of your local grocery store, bulk store, or online.

Sure! Beyond chocolate cake, try white sponge cake, lemon cake, strawberry cake, really the sky’s the limit! Any cake has a traditional crumb can be used.

Sure! I prefer a cake mix to save time, but a cake from scratch is great. You can even use my homemade vanilla cake mix.

I find that simple balls are the easiest but you can try simple molds like stars or circles. Other cookie cutter shapes might work as long as they are large and thick.

This can be a few reasons. First, make sure the size of your cake pops are a good ratio for the stick that you are using. If the cake pop is big and the stick small, it will break and alternatively, a small cake pop on too large of stick will cause issues.

If you did not roll the cake ball tight enough this can also cause problems as well as if you did not use enough frosting to bind the cake, it may fall apart.

Yes. After dipping them, freeze them in an airtight container for up to a month. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight or until thawed.

Frosting: 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.

Cake pop sticks: 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.

Work in batches: 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.

Decorations: To make a sunflower cake pop bouquet, I used yellow melting wafers, as well as these Wilton sunflower icing decorations. I also used a small pot as the base, with leftover crumbled cake as the “soil.”
