Cake Pop Ghosts

Halloween is just around the corner! I can’t believe we are already more than halfway through October! How did that happen?! I still have so much Halloween prep to do! Pumpkins to carve, costumes to make, parties to plan…the list does on and on.

In case you didn’t already know…I kind of love Halloween. It’s by far my favorite holiday, and not just because it’s a great excuse to eat a bunch of candy. Don’t get me wrong…excess amounts of candy is a great reason to love Halloween, but for me it’s really all about the costumes.

I mean…my dog already has four costumes and I can’t make any promises that she won’t have a fifth by the time Halloween actually gets here. I understand I have a problem…but I am ok with it.

Decided To Try My New Mold And Made Some Ghost Cake Pops🍷

But you can’t have all those costumes without an AWESOME party. And what’s a good party without some amazing food? Last year I made these Marshmallow Mummy Pops and this Spider Web Cheesecake (still one of my favorites), so this year I went with Ghosts. A simple cake pop recipe turns into an epic Halloween Themed treat! If you are having a Halloween Party yourself, these should definitely be on your to do list!

I might be the only person in the history of the world that has ever been grounded from baking. That's right. When I was a teen, it wasn't the computer, or the

I believe anyone can create beautiful and delicious desserts right in their own kitchen. It doesn't have to be hard or stressful. Let me prove it to you...

Halloween Cake Pops! Ghosts, Pumpkins, Eyeballs, Black Cats, Candy Corn, And More!

My mind was blown when I saw this. I didn’t even know how to feel. It’s the exact cake!! How wild is that?! 🤯#fearlesstaylorsversion #taylorswiftedits #erastour ...

The Women's World Cup is officially here! And I thought what better way to start than with a roundup of USA-inspired desserts that you can eat while you cheer on the @uswnt! Side note: 8 years ago my mom and I made that first cake to cheer on the USWNT in the 2015 World Cup. (Ok I made it, she just watched lol). She was sick with cancer and really did not feel well, but she loved watching those ladies kick butt! So we spent every moment of that summer glued to the tv screen cheering as the US women took home the trophy. It is one of my favorite memories from the last year I had with her. ❤️ #womensworldcup #worldcup2023 #uswnt ...

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!

Cute Ghost Marshmallow Popcorn Balls

Folklore Era - That time Taylor Swift gave us one of the greatest gifts of the pandemic. This surprise album was a huge departure from the last few eras as she presented us with a much softer indie-folk sound. She embraced a more natural and muted aesthetic and spent a lot of time hanging out in the forest with trees. Now Folklore and Evermore have similar vibes - but I decided that Folklore should be simple (yet naturey) with a muted color palate. Let me know what you guys think!

The Lover Era. Definitely the most colorful era in Taylor’s career, this album not only focused on romantic love but self-love and inclusivity. With the vibrant visuals, music videos, and upbeat pop songs I created a pink and blue watercolor look for this cake with a lot of pink accents (I am obsessed with the glitter heart). I also attempted a new technique (the ripped edge) and then decided at the end to change the paint color from blue to pink. Because sometimes we change our minds. And that’s ok. Let me know what you guys think!

This past month has been a little crazy though, and with all the mayhem, my ghoulish treat making got put on the back burner.

Ghost Oreo Balls

My niece is visiting this weekend, so it seemed like the perfect time to finally make these Ghost Cake Pops. They turned out so cute ... a little goofy and not too spooky, but totally fun!

When I spotted a pack of candy eyes at the grocery store, I couldn't wait to use them for a fun Halloween treat ... and what could be better than delicious Ghost Cake Pops?

This Halloween cake pop recipe makes a super fun and totally delicious holiday treat, and they're the perfect way to impress party guests, too.

Halloween Ghost Pops

If you've never made cake pops before, you might be surprised at how easy they are too make. All you need is a little time and patience.

These cake pops for Halloween are so fun to make and not hard at all if you follow my easy tutorial. If you've never make cake pops, read these tips for how to make Ghost Cake Pops first, then follow the recipe below for more pics and details.

You'll need one already baked white cake (two layers) and some white frosting. To keep things simple, I prefer to use a box mix when I make cake pops (I used this Pillsbury white cake mix and white frosting). Homemade cake and frosting would be delicious though if you want to put in a little more effort.

Feel free to use any flavor cake and frosting, but keep in mind that if you choose a dark color (like chocolate), you may need to double dip your pops in the candy coating.

You'll start by crumbling the cake, then mixing in just enough frosting (about ¼ to ½ cup) to hold the mixture together when it's rolled into a ball. Use your hands to do this ... it's messy, but makes the process easier and faster.

To get the ghost shape for your pops, you'll start by rolling a heaping tablespoon of cake mixture into a ball, and from there, into an oval shape. Then, you'll shape the oval so the bottom is flat and the top (the ghost's head) is a little narrower.

At this point, you need to refrigerate the ghost shapes for two hours or freeze them for one hour. This helps the cake firm up. Don't skip this step, or your cake pops will fall apart when you try to coat them.

After the cake has been refrigerated for two hours, melt a few candy melts in a small bowl. I used these Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers, but I've also had good luck with Wilton Candy Melts.

Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the candy and insert it into the cake. Once you've done this with all of the cake, refrigerate the cake pops for about 5 to 10 minutes or until the candy has hardened.

Assorted Halloween Cake Pops

Place about one and half bags of the candy melts into a small bowl, then melt them according to the package directions.
