Recipes Using Leftover Cake, Overbaked Cake, Or Stale Cake
Need a great cake recipe to bake for a special occasion? Try The Greatest Chocolate Cake recipe. Rich, moist chocolate cake with a decadent dark chocolate frosting–it’s the best you’ll ever eat!
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.

Learn MoreTo frost that cake, you need to lop off the rounded tops of both those cakes. It would be a real shame to let that extra cake and frosting go to waste, so I designed these Leftover Carrot Cake Pops to make the most of the leftovers. And I really didn't expect to fall in love with them as much as I did!
Cake Scrap Treats
Cake pops became super popular a few years ago and I never really got in on the trend. But when I found myself with these cake and frosting leftovers, it seemed like a sign. Then I wasn't even going to publish this recipe, but you asked for it! And ya know what, I think this is really useful to answer the question:
The real trick to cake pops is in the ratio of cake crumbles to frosting. The golden ratio that I've found is about 1 1/2 times as much cake crumbles as frosting. Of course, if your cake is super moist, then you'll need less frosting.
So whether you had to lop off the tops of the cake layers to make a flat styled layered cake and only have a cup or two of cake crumbles, you'll need about a 1/2 cup to a cup of frosting to turn it into cake pops. And if you make a whole cake but only eat a few pieces, then want to turn the rest into cake pops, crumble it all up and add some canned frosting until you reach that moist, scoopable consistency!
Cake Pop Dough
That said, you're welcome to make the carrot cake recipe and use all of it to make cake pops. The ratio remains the same. You need about 1 1/2 times as much cake as you do frosting. You'll certainly need more white chocolate or white candy melts though.
Before starting, make sure that you prep yourself a cake pop holder. Grab a cardboard box and poke holes in the bottom of it, just big enough for the lollipop sticks to stick through. I used a pair of scissors to pop the holes and tested them with the lollipop sticks to make sure that they were big enough to fit, but not so big that they just slipped right through.
You'll want to prep these in advance, because the magic happens when the warm melted chocolate hits the frozen cold cake ball so that the chocolate hardens quickly. Make sure the cake balls are cold enough before starting to dip, otherwise you'll have a runny mess!
