So, throw out that cake pop mold you’ve kept in your kitchen cabinet for the last five years and let’s get to some confetti cake pops!

When making confetti cake pops it is really only a matter of deciding which flavor you want to use and then you can customize the color frosting and decoration (rainbow sprinkles.. duh). I went ahead with strawberry since pink is the girl’s favorite color.

Another great flavor is German chocolate cake with a coconut or caramel frosting. You can even stick with the basicvanilla or chocolate.

Once that is done, make sure the cake cools completely before you crumble the cake. When cool, it’s time to get crumbling!

However, I am a little picky about this part. Try to shave off the top, bottom, and sides of the cake so you only use the inside of the cake. That way you are only using the softest parts of the cake.

Then, add the frosting a little bit at a time until the cake is moist but a bit crumbly. Basically, you want to make sure the batter can stick together. Typically it only takes 1/2 a container of frosting.

Tip: Stick the batter into the fridge. That way the batter will form into balls easier and stick to the lollipop sticks better.

Then put the stick back into the hole of the cake pop. This creates a “glue” for the cake pop and makes it easier to dip the whole pop into the chocolate coating.

Plan on making a lot of cake pops? Melt your chocolate in a mini crockpot! It will save you a ton of time so you don’t have to keep reheating your chocolate. Just be sure to stir once in a while so the chocolate doesn’t get too hot.

If you plan to make your cake pops upside down as I do, add a chocolate melt to the bottom of the cake pop before the chocolate melts on the actual pop. That way, when you pick the cake pop up, you won’t see any bottom part of the cake, just more chocolate!Easy 3 ingredient funfetti cake pops using a box of cake mix and covered in a sweet white chocolate coating. Cake pops are exactly what they sound like – a cross between a cake batter and a lollipop!

Contrary to popular belief, cake pops are actually incredibly easy to make! What initially got me hooked on these little lollipop cakes, was Starbucks.

Starbucks Cake Pops can easily be recreated at home, with only 3 ingredients. The secret is making cake pops with regular cake mix.

How

I remember the first time I made these I was so nervous. I went on a hunt for a cookie scoop, icing sugar, flour, butter, vanilla extract, baking powder, and chocolate chips all at different grocery stores.

The next time I made them I saved myself a lot of time by buying a boxed cake mix. This is a great way to make your life more simple, and I will never go back to my first attempt method.

The inside of the cakes pops is a combination of cake mixed with frosting, which gives it the gooey soft texture. The cake pop frosting is simply melted chocolate wafers. Add sprinkles if you wish, and you’ve got yourself the best cake pop recipe!

I’m going to show you two ways on how to make cake pops. Or as some may like to call it, lollipop cakes.

The first is by using a standard cake mix or leftover cake and mixing it in with enough frosting. Then chilling the dough to make cold cake balls, and sticking them into cake pop sticks or popsicle sticks.

Once you have your cake pop ball, you then dip it into melted candy. You will get rid of excess chocolate and allow it to solidify before eating.

The other way to make them is by using cake pop molds. This is where you would add the cake pop batter to a round pan and it would form the cake into donut holes.

How

Beat cake mix, water, oil, and eggs in a bowl. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or two 8×8-inch round cake dishes and bake in a 350 degree F oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely, then crumble it with a fork in a large bowl or in the baking dish. Stir the frosting into the crumbled cake, cover, and freeze until chilled.

It’s easier to roll the cake & frosting mixture into perfectly round balls if it’s cold. The cake & frosting mixture is super moist, and at room temperature it makes it extremely difficult to shape them perfectly.

Once they have been frozen, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a baking sheet.

Melt candy melts in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip each lollipop stick into the white chocolate, then stick into one of the cake pop balls.

Gently dip the balls into the melted chocolate or spoon the chocolate onto balls and twirl to coat. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.

The best way to allow the coating to dry and set– without ruining the perfectly round cake pop– is to place them upright in a styrofoam block, or a box to harden. There you have it, you have easy cake pops!

Make sure your cake pops are cold enough before adding the frosting! If they are not cold enough they will change their shape and start to melt once you start trying to frost.

DO NOTuse too much frosting inside the cake pop. Typically the more frosting the better on traditional cakes, at least in my opinion, but in cake pops this is not the case.

The best way to store pre made cake pops is to place them in an airtight container with a paper towel lining the bottom of the container. They will stay fresh for a couple days on the counter, but for best results I recommend storing them in the refrigerator.
