How To Make Fourth Of July Cake Pops

4th July Cake Pops are decadent red velvet cake balls dipped in white chocolate and decorated in patriotic colors. These red, white and blue cake pops are the perfect dessert to celebrate America.

Gloves – I love using food prep gloves when I have to roll things into balls. They don’t stick to my hands and it is much cleaner.

Mason Jars – Using small mason jars for melting chocolate instead of a bowl makes it easier to dip and fully coat the cake pops.

Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs and mix with your hands, squishing together until a moldable texture is created. Take 2 Tablespoons of this mixture and mold into a ball using your hands. Make sure no cracks are present.

Melt a little (about 12) of the white candy melts. Dip the end of a cake pop stick into this white melted candy – about ½” in. Push this end into one of the cake balls, until about 2/3 of the way into the cake ball. This will help hold the cake ball on the stick.

Wrap the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 10 minutes. This will allow the melted candy to dry/harden all the way.

Fill a small mason jar with white candy melt wafers and about ½ teaspoon vegetable shortening. Microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Remove and stir. Do this repeatedly until the candy melt has completely melted. Continue to stir the melted candy for about 2 minutes until you reach the desired consistency to dip the cake pops.

Take one of the cake pops and push down into the melted candy, until the top of the other side has been submerged and the entire cake pop is coated. Pull straight back up again. Do not twist and turn during this step, just a quick in and out is all that is required.

Keep tapping the stick of the cake pop while the excess candy melt is dripping off. When you think it safe to do so insert the stick into a holder. If you are simply using sprinkles now would be the time to add those sprinkles.

Melt some red candy melts (about 25) with a little vegetable shortening. Place a small re-sealable bag into a glass. Pour this melted candy into the re-sealable bag and twist to close. Cut the tip from the bag and hold over a piece of wax paper.

While squeezing the bag with the red melted candy pass a cake pop back and forth underneath to create pretty drizzle lines. Do this with half of the cake pops.

The best way to store cake pops is to lie them down in an airtight container, lined with paper towels – in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh like this for up to a week.
