For this recipe, I again used my favorite homemade cake pops recipe fromSally’s Baking Addiction. I also used the super convenient, pre-coloredWilton candy meltsI chose for myHalloween Eyeball Cake Pops recipe. This time, I went with Easter-appropriate pastels and spring inspired colors, including ivory, lavender, coral, bright blue, and chartreuse.

These egg-shaped treats can also be made into Easter cake pops. Simply add some paper lollipop sticks, and tie with a ribbon for an extra special touch.

For convenience, I like to use Wilton’s pre-colored candy melts. For these Easter cake balls, I chose lavender (check your local grocery or craft store), bright blue, white, and a brightspring green. I couldn’t find pink in stock, so I purchased someredas well and mixed it with some of the white to make a coral colored coating.Alternatively, you can purchase white candy melts or white chocolate in bulk and create your own colors. Make sure you are using anoil-based coloringdesigned for candy; conventional food coloring is water-based and will cause your chocolate coating to seize.

Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside. Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until creamed, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on high speed until combined. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. My three-year-old loved helping out by putting the measured ingredients in.

With the mixer running on low speed, add the dry ingredients and milk to the wet ingredients until combined. Manually whisk the batter to ensure there are no large lumps at the bottom of the bowl. Batter will be slightly thick. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan.

Bake for 30-36 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the top begins browning too quickly in the oven, loosely place a piece of aluminum foil on top.

With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract with the mixer running on low. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 full minutes.

How To Make Cake Pops (easy And Fool Proof)

Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, or freeze 1 hour. Re-roll the chilled balls to reshape if necessary. Place back into the fridge as you’ll only work with a couple at a time.

Melt the coating in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup for dunking. You can use a double broiler or microwave per package instructions.

Sometimes, candy melts come out too thick and your cake pops will either look chunky, or you’ll shake them right off the stick trying to get rid of that excess coating. The key is to use an oil-based thinner, or else your coating will seize right up. Wilton’s EZ Thin is an easy way to get the consistency you want, but you can also use a shortening like Crisco.

Optional: For cake pops, dip a lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into the coating, then insert into the center of the cake ball. Only push it about halfway through the cake ball. I like to put the cake pops with sticks back into the fridge for about an hour to make sure they are super “stuck” before dipping.

For Easter Cake Pops: Dip cake pops into the coating until completely covered. Make sure the coating covers the base of the cake ball where it meets the lollipop stick. Very gently tap the stick against the edge of the measuring cup to allow excess coating to drop off. Decorate with sprinkles if desired immediately and place upright into a styrofoam block or box. Repeat with remaining cake balls, only working with a couple out of the fridge at a time. The cake balls must be very cold for dipping!

Easter Cake Balls: To dip cake balls, use a small fork or skewer (for fondue, roasting, etc.) stuck into the bottom of the egg. Make sure the coating completely covers the cake ball. Gently tap the skewer against the edge of the cup to allow excess coating to drop off. Decorate with sprinkes if desired immediately.

How To Make Cake Pops

Using a large fork, remove the cake ball from the skewer (I like to slide the skewer itself between two tines of the fork and lift up slowly with a wiggling motion so the cake ball doesn’t go flying off.) Slide a knife under the cake ball on the fork to slide it onto the prepared sheet (see video below – pardon my shaky hands, sometimes a day with three kids takes a lot of coffee!)

To create a drizzle effect, put a small amount of melted coating into a ziploc or disposable piping bag. Cut a small hole in one corner. Test the thickness of the drizzle or practice your technique on a piece of parchment paper. When you are ready to decorate, lay the cake balls you’d like to drizzle on parchment paper a few inches apart. Drizzle each using a back and forth motion (see video below).

Optional: Arrange your Easter egg cake balls or Easter cake pops in an Easter basket to share with kids, friends, family, or neighbors!

Cake pops have quickly become a favorite of any fundraiser, sporting event or birthday party that we host. They’re one of the most requested desserts that I receive when it comes to baking for an event, and they’re usually the first dessert to go. I have made them for preschool graduations, birthday parties, end of the season sporting events, and fundraisers. I usually make a variety of chocolate cake and vanilla cake pop, but the chocolate almost always comes out as the winner.
