This post and recipe for my Mummy Cake Pops were created for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.
One of my favorite recipes to make is cake pops. We have perfected making them and since then, have decorated them for every holiday –including Halloween!
These mummy cake pops will be the talk of the town this year at any party you throw. The best part? They hold up well in the fridge so you can make them days ahead of time and let them sit until you need them.
Easy Mummy Cake Pops
You are going to make a 9×13 cake according to the directions on the back of the package. Once it is done baking, let it cool for a bit, and then you are going to crumble it up into a big bowl.
Now, take the can of frosting and scoop out 3/4 of the can right into your crumbled cake. Mix well combining all the frosting with the cake. When you are done, you should have a super moist cake.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out the cake mix. I use the cookie scoop because that gives me the perfect size for cake pops and it makes all the balls uniform.
How To Make Halloween Cake Pops
While the cake pops are firming up, grab your decoration ingredients. For me, I always turn to Wilton because they have THE BEST products for decorating.
Start by melting your wafers in the microwave. I find that a lot of times the wafers can be thick when you melt them, but not to worry. Just add a little oil like vegetable or canola to the melted wafers to thin them out. You don't want it too thin, you want it to the point where when you dip your cake pop, it rolls around easily in the melted wafers.
Once you get your wafers melted, take your sticks and one at a time, dip them in the melted wafers and then stick them in your pops.

The reason you do this is so that the wafers harden around your stick and hold them in the cake pop so that it won't fall off the stick.
Now, put that in the fridge for about 10 minutes to let everything firm up. You might need to reheat your wafers in the microwave again to remelt them.
Once you do, now, it's time to dip the whole thing. You are going to submerge your whole pop in the melted wafers making sure to cover the end where the stick is. This will hold it in place even better.

While the cake pops are drying, you can put on your eyeballs. Since we made several types of cake pops, we used all kinds of eyes, but for the mummy, we used smaller eyes.
Once you get all the eyes on, pop them back in the fridge to let that firm up. While that is firming up, grab a pastry bag and put the remaining melted wafers in the pasty bag. The easiest way we have found to do this is by setting the pastry bag in a cup and scooping it in that way.
This is a bag that is fitted with a tip that I got from Wilton — so don't use this kind. For this, you will just use a pastry bag. Snip off the top end of the tip with some scissors so that you can drizzle on your mummy wrapping.
