My birthday is this week, and I can't resist throwing a party! So I've created a bunch of fun recipes and ideas to share with you all week long!
I love coming up with creative party themes. Last year I threw a Pink and Gold Birthday Party, and in years past, I've thrown a Fiesta Birthday Party and a French-Themed Party. So fun!
Can you guess what my theme is this year? I'm a sucker for anything bright and colorful, and I can't think of a party theme more fun and festive than sprinkles!
Birthday Cake Pops
So let's get sprinkling ... these adorable Birthday Cake Pops with Sprinkles are the first treat I have for you this week!
These Birthday Cake Pops with Sprinkles are sure to impress your guests. They're beautiful to look at, and they're totally delicious, too.
If you've never cake pops before, these Confetti Cake Pops are the recipe for you. These pops aren't difficult to make (although they take a bit of time), and I'll lead you through the process step by step. Plus, those cute sprinkles will cover up any little mistakes you might make!
How To Make Cake Pops Flour On My Face
While I love cooking from scratch, and do it probably 90% of the time, I almost always use cake mixes and prepared frostings for cake pops. It just makes the process simpler and quicker. And trust me, they still taste delicious!
Feel free to use your favorite white cake recipe for these Rainbow Cake Pops though, if you have one. You'll need 2 (8 or 9-inch) baked cake layers to make 24 cake pops.
You can also great creative and use different cake / frosting flavors or different colors of candy melts. Just keep in mind that if you use a dark-colored cake (like chocolate), then white or other light-colored candy melts may not cover your pops well.

If you've never made cake pops before, I think you'll be surprised at how easy these Sprinkles Cake Pops are to make. They do take a little time, but each step is simple.
The first step is baking your cake. Simply follow the package directions, then let your cake cool completely before starting the cake pops.
Once your cake is baked and cooled, place it in a large bowl and use your hands or a fork to crumble it.

Next, you'll add frosting, and you can use your hands for this step, too. The amount of frosting you'll need depends on a few things: how moist your cake is; how much liquid is in your frosting, etc. You want to add just enough frosting to hold the cake together when rolled into a ball. So start with a small amount of frosting and add more if needed.
To form the cake pops, take a heaping tablespoon of the cake / frosting mixture. Roll it between your palms to form a ball. Don't worry if your balls have minor imperfections, because the candy coating will cover any small flaws.
Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (or foil). Then, refrigerate the pops for two hours or freeze them for one hour. Don't skip this step, because it firms the pops and keeps them from falling apart.

Melt a few candy melts in a small bowl, then dip in the end of a stick. Insert the candy-coated end into a cake pop ball.
When all the sticks have been added, return the cake pops to the refrigerator or freezer to allow the candy to harden. It should take about 15 minutes in the freezer or a little longer in the fridge.
You'll need a small bowl. A coffee cup would also work. Fill the bowl with candy melts, then melt in the microwave according to the package directions.

To get the sprinkles to stick to your cake pops, you'll need to add them before the candy coating hardens. Work quickly!
I like to set up an assembly-line: a bowl of candy melts; a small bowl of sprinkles; and a second, deeper bowl to catch the excess sprinkles (and any candy coating drips).

Hold the freshly dipped cake pop over the deeper bowl, then add your sprinkles, working fast. Rotate the cake pop as you work to ensure you're covering the whole pop.
Once your Birthday Cake Pops are coated in sprinkles, return them to the baking sheet. Refrigerate the finished cake pops until ready to serve.
If you've ever walked the baking aisle at a well-stocked grocery store, you've probably noticed lots of different types of sprinkles! I used nonpareils, but you can use other types for these Birthday Cake Pops, too:

You can serve cake pops with the sticks facing up, like I do here, or with the sticks facing down (cake side up).
Personally, I prefer to serve these Sprinkles Cake Pops (and other cake pops) with the sticks facing up. It's just easier ... simply display them on a tray, and you're good to go!
If you'd prefer to serve your cake pops with the cake facing up, then use a piece of thick styrofoam to hold the pops. Choose a piece of styrofoam about 3 to 4 inches thick, then poke holes to hold the cake pops sticks. You can cover the styrofoam with tissue paper or wrapping paper for a decorative touch, if you wish.

You could also serve the cake pops in a short vase (or similar container), but you'll probably need to add a weight to the bottom so it doesn't tip over from the weight of the pops.
