Step 5: Scoop out a regular ball and make 2 cake pop “rods” (about the size of a Tylenol) with your hands.

Step 6: Add the ears. Press the rods gently onto the cake ball to make a bunny shape. When all the cake pop bunnies are assembled, chill them in the fridge to set up.

Step 8: Add a stick, then dip. Press the dipped popsicle stick into the bunny cake pop and submerge in the melted candy.

Step 10: Decorate the cake pops as you see fit. I like to add pink on the centers of the ears and feet, stick on a marshmallow nose and draw a mouth and whiskers around it, and add a fluffy tail.

Freezer: Store in an air-tight, freezer-safe container for up to a month. Leave the pops at room temperature for 2 to 3 hours prior to serving.

How To Make Easy Easter Cake Pops, Step By Step

These tasty little bunny pops are great with some milk or coffee. I like to set them out as a sort of edible centerpiece on our Easter dessert table. Bonus points if you dye some shredded coconut flakes to make it look like the bunnies are resting in grass!

When attaching the ears, use lollipop sticks. Dip one end in melted chocolate prior to inserting it — this will act as glue and keep ears attached securely while drying.

Any spongy cake like white, vanilla, or lemon will work well. Avoid dense, heavy cakes like pound cake — they won't hold together when mixed with the frosting.

You'll need a stand mixer or hand mixer, an 8-inch round cake pan, parchment paper, a cookie scoop, lollipop sticks, and a foam block or thick cardboard box.

Gently spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level with the flat of a knife. This ensures you measure out the correct amount.

You sure can! Once they’re fully decorated, wrap them well (but be gentle!) and keep them in a freezer-safe container for up to a month.

Taste is totally subjective, so that’s a matter of personal preference. I tend to reach for buttercream or cream cheese frostings because they hold the cake together better than lighter whipped cream-based frostings.

I started making the sweetest cake pops on Sunday and had to detour from photographing them so I could work on my taxes. Boring! But I had to get ready for an appointment the next day which meant diving into a big stack of paperwork that I’ve been building on… all year. And avoiding. Yuck-o-rama! And definitely not as much fun as cake pops.

Bunny Cake Poppers Recipe

I’ve made bunny cake pops before with pastel candy corn and also with pipe cleaners (really, really cute), but oh my – these jordan almonds bunnies are too much. I think these might be my favorite ears, but let me know yours if you look at the other bunny links.

Bunnies are like snowmen to me. I want to make them again and again and again. There’s so many ways to make them look different and still super cute.

I made the bunny heads with more of an oval shape. And before I chilled the balls, I used an almond to make impressions on the top. That way when you dip, the ears will look like part of the head instead of sitting on top of it.

I used a few sprinkles for the faces, but keep in mind you can also just pipe them on with candy coating for a simpler approach.

Oh yeah, I made cake pop tags for you too if you’d like to download them for your pops or even for cupcake toppers.

This bunny was inspired by these ice cream cone sweet tarts. These are the kind of unique candy/sprinkles I like to snatch up as soon as I see them. I usually have no idea at the time what I’ll use them for but I know at some point they’ll come in handy for something.

I used the almonds again for ears, the pink rainbow chip sprinkles for noses, mini marshmallows for feet and arms, green daisy sprinkles and orange ice cream candy… you guessed it … for carrots.
