Have you ever wondered how to make cake pops? It's easier than you think and they can be made for oh so many occasions from birthdays to baby showers, Easter and more. Even better cake pops are easy for everyone to take one, have a bite and with less mess. No plates required if you want to skip the dishes.
We're going to share step by step instructions on how to make cake pops with a cake mix. It may seem like a lot of steps but it's actually quite easy. So let's get on to how to make cake pops shall we?
How To Make Cake Pops The Easy Way
I know it looks like a lot of steps to make the cake pops but once you have everything ready to go it's quite easy. Most of the time is just mixing, melting and waiting for things to be ready. Totally worth it and dipping the cake pops can be something you do with the kiddos. I know they will definitely enjoy eating them!
Another reason (of many) that we love cake pops are how you can do different colored candy melts if you wanted to all in the same batch. Or you can keep it easy and have them all coated in the same colored candy melts and even decorate them a bit differently. You can leave them plain or ad sprinkles, icing, the options are endless when it comes to these fun cake pops.
Couldn't you just envision serving these at a birthday party or even a baby or bridal shower? Cute, tasty and less messy to eat than a slice a cake. These cake pops are popular at any gathering. You can decorate them or the plate they're served on to suit the occasion.
It's Play Time!
I know Easter is coming up very soon and these would be fun for an Easter gathering. We just love the taste of cake pops and will vary between the flavors of the cakes too!

I’ve made Oreo truffles multiple times, which are somewhat similar to cake pops. Somewhat. They’re essentially the cookie version of cake pops. Basically dessert cousins. I figured, how hard could it be?

Now, I know mine aren’t 100% true cake pops– they’re basically cake balls with sticks in them, but people can still carry them around like cake pops. I mean, who wants messy hands? Anyway, I’ll tell you at the end of the post how to make them into legit cake pops with the cake portion at the top and the stick coming out the bottom.
Prepare a boxed cake mix as directed on the box. Let the cake cool completely. Wash your hands. Next, crumble the cake into fine crumbs with your hands in a large bowl. Mix in about 1/3 cup of icing (I used store bought milk chocolate) with your hands. The mixture should be dense but not gooey. Gooey cake balls gross me out. Grab a cookie scoop (I used my 1.5 T scoop, which I LOVE). (Remember, everyone needs a cookie scoop, or 3.) Then, scoop out the mixture, packing the cake mixture into the scoop as you scoop it (I smushed the open side of the cookie scoop against the inside of the bowl). Smush the mixture in your hand to pack it tightly into a ball. Roll it into a nicely shaped ball. Roll the remaining mixture into balls (my cake mix made 18 balls).
Grab your Candy Melts (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric) and a small microwaveable dish (I used a small oatmeal bowl). Put about 5 morsels into the bowl and melt them in the microwave. Next, grab your cake pop sticks (I purchased mine from JoAnn Fabric). Dip your stick into the melted Candy Melt and quickly stick it into a cake pop at least half way down. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Then, set pops on a cookie tray. Freeze for about 15 minutes (they wouldn’t fit in my freezer so I put them in the fridge for 30 minutes– worked fine). Put your Candy Melts into a microwaveable mug (I filled mine to the top). Next, melt the Candy Melts as directed on the package. Dip the cake pop into the mug, evenly coating it. Let the coating drip off. Place the pop on cookie sheet. Finally, if using sprinkles, add immediately before coating sets. Repeat for remaining pops.

These may seem like a lot a work, but trust me, once you have it all mapped out it’s a breeze. I spent maybe an hour on these (not including baking and cooling times).
If you want your cake pops to be true cake pops, rather than cake balls with sticks in them, instead of putting them on a cookie sheet to dry, insert the stick into Styrofoam for the coating to set. I wanted mine to sit on the platter but still be pops, so that’s why I went the route I did.
FYI, the Candy Melt coating is really good. I used chocolate cake and you barely tell there’s dark cake underneath the coating. Just thought I’d throw that out there.

Note: Candy Melts come in a wide array of colors. But if you don’t spot a color you need, you can use gel food coloring. Do not use food coloring drops.
Step by step instructions on how to make cake pops! Learn some tricks on how to accomplish delicious and eye-catching cake pops!STEP 1: PREPARE CAKE POP MIXTURE If using frozen pound cake, let it defrost completely. Then, cut the pound cake into cubes and place in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse the cubes until they are crumbled into a fine, fairly even mixture. Next, add 1/4 tub of icing to the bowl.

Pulse a few times until the mixture comes together. It will still be a little bit crumbly, but moist. Squeeze some between your fingers to make sure it holds together. Add a tiny bit more icing and blend if necessary.(You do not want the mixture too moist or it will not stay on the stick when dipped). Refrigerate the mixture for 1/2 hour before starting the next step.
STEP 2: ROLL INTO BALLS AND REFRIGERATE UNTIL FIRM Using the Fat Daddio's scoop, scoop out even portions of filling and roll them between your palms to create symmetrical balls. Place them on a lined sheet tray.Once finished, place the tray of cake balls into the fridge until very firm. 20 minutes or so.
STEP 3: REROLL THE POPS Pull out your tray and quickly reroll each ball to get a smoother and more rounded cake pop ball. Place the tray back in the fridge.

STEP 4: COAT THE POPS Place the candy coating discs in a cup or bowl deep enough to dunk the cake pops. Melt in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the coating is 3/4 melted. Remove and continue to stir until completely melted. (Do not overheat the coating or it will be ruined). Add a few pinches of paramount crystals and stir, until the coating is very fluid.
Remove a few pops from the fridge. Dip a sucker stick in coating and insert half way into a cake pop. Wipe away any drips at the base of the pop with your finger. Immediately dip the entire cake pop in coating and then slowly rotate it above the cup while the coating drips off. Once settled, stand the cake pop up in a heavy bottom glass, piece of stryofoam or cake pop stand.
STEP 5: HOW TO ADD SPARKLY SUGAR Once the coating is dry, use a paint brush to coat the outside of the cake pop in a very thin layer of piping gel.
