How To Make Best Cake Pops Recipe For Lazy People

I love the classic white cake + buttercream combo, but there are so many other yummy variations you can make too. They are so fun to decorate and can be served at literally any occasion!
I used white cake for this recipe, but you can really use any flavor of box cake mix (or make your favorite recipe from scratch).
A classic buttercream is also my favorite type of frosting for cake pops, but feel free to use others like chocolate buttercream, cream cheese frosting or strawberry buttercream.

Many ways to decorate cake pops! Add sprinkles or jimmies while the chocolate is still wet. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, let the chocolate coating harden first, then drizzle more chocolate on top.
It’s all about the frosting! When you mix the frosting in with the cake, the mixture should hold together when squeezed. If the mixture is crumbly, that means it needs more frosting. Make sure to only add in a little at a time so that the cake doesn’t get too soggy. If you have a very moist cake, you may not need much frosting at all.
If the chocolate coating has cracked, it’s likely due to the difference in temperature between the cake balls and the melted coating chocolate. Don’t freeze the balls for longer than instructed, or else the super cold cake combined with the warm melted chocolate could cause cracking.

The type of chocolate you use can also contribute to whether or not the cake pops crack. Using melted chocolate chips may cause cracking, so I’d suggest using chocolate melting wafers instead. They have a thicker texture once hardened and a smooth finish, which result in a more sturdy exterior.
Sure! While I prefer homemade frosting over canned, I’ve never been one to shy away from an easier shortcut! Store-bought frosting usually comes in a 16 ounce can, so you’ll only need half (8 ounces) to make this recipe.
I’ve had the most success using chocolate melting wafers because of their super smooth finish (Ghirardelli melting wafers are my favorite). A high quality chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli or Bakers) would be the next best option.

Yes you can freeze them, just make sure they’ve dried completely before freezing. They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Let thaw at room temperature when ready to serve.
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.

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.

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.

You could also use color candy melts for the coating if you want to stay with a color theme or you could dye your white chocolate with some food color.
My favorite frosting is a cream cheese base, so that’s what I chose to make these cake pops with. But buttercream frosting will work just as well if you prefer.
After the cake balls have rested in the refrigerator, they are ready to get attached to a lollipop stick and dipped in melted chocolate. I prefer melting wafers, but you can also use chocolate chips if that’s what you have on hand.
Cake Balls Recipe
There are two ways you can dry the cake pops, right side up by sticking the end of the stick into a block of foam or something that will hold it straight up. If you’re drying it this way, add sprinkles to the top of the cake pops.
The second way you can dry them is by just setting them on a parchment-lined baking tray upside down with the stick standing straight up. For this, add sprinkles near the base with the stick.
Cake pops should be stored in the refrigerator since the cake is already mixed with frosting. You can store them in an airtight container or wrap them individually in little baggies, which is super convenient when you’re planning to pass these out as gifts.
The Best Chocolate Cake Pops
Undipped cake balls can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or kept frozen for much longer. If you’re planning to make ahead and freeze, don’t dip them, freeze until solid on a baking sheet in one layer, then transfer them to a freezer bag.

Happy Easter! I haven't really had time to throw up many Easter recipes this year, but I did make these cream cheese carrot cake cake pops. They are heavenly, guys. If cake pops ever go out of style, I'm still making them. They are like my favorite way to eat cake. They are easy to pop in your mouth, super moist and that crunch of the chocolate coating when it's been sitting in the fridge chilling is amazing.
I had to search out orange sprinkles for these carrot cake pops. That's kind of what the hold up has been, if I'm honest. I ordered them last week on Etsy and they finally came yesterday.
Red Velvet Cake Balls
So, I tried a few different ways to coat my cake pops. My favorite was the toasted pecan coated ones. My hubby's favorite was the ones completely coated with sprinkles, but they were all tasty.
To do this, start by adding brown sugar, granulated sugar, and all of the spices into a mixing bowl. Whisk until the spices are evenly distributed.
