It’s almost Mother’s Day here in the UK, and to celebrate I am bringing you some beautiful gold cake pops, filled with a soft chocolate cakey centre. These chocolate cake pops are pretty and easy to make, in any colour you choose!
You are going to love these little pops, because they are a great way to use up leftover chocolate cake or cupcakes, like the chocolate cupcakesI shared with you all on Monday. The chocolate cake is crumbled up, and then a tiny bit of chocolate frosting is added to create asort of cakey playdough.
Toppop tip #1 – You are going to want to be sparing with the frosting. The worst thing you can do is add too much of itto the mixture, as this will result in a soggy cake pop. And that’s not something anybody would ever want. It’s definitely best to start off with a little bit, and then you can always add more if the balls aren’t coming together. I feel like there’s an innuendo in there somewhere.
Rose Gold Cake Pops
If you don’t have any leftover cake (and that’s totally something I can relate to) then you can go ahead and bake some of these cupcakes to use. I found that for every one of the cupcakes I crumbled up, it would make about two fairly large pops.
Pop tip #2 – The cake balls will be much easier to deal with if the balls of cake are popped (see what I did there?) in the freezer for ten minutes or so, to harden up a bit. This will make the process of sticking and dipping them a hell of a lot easier.
I used these cake pop stickswhich I bought this time last year to use for some Easter cake pops, and they’ve been cluttering up my baking shelves ever since. You are going to want to make sure that the sticks are a decent length, because otherwise your pops are going to a) topple over, and b) look a bit silly.
Lemon Cake Pops Recipe (gold & Glitter!)
As you can tell from the picture above, my gold covering isn’t perfect. But I don’t think this really matters – it’s the antique look.
These chocolate cake pops were dipped into a mug of melted white chocolate, before being painted with an edible gold paint. But you could dip yours in milk or dark chocolate, or even some candy melts to make them extra colourful. Chocolate tastes the best though, of course.
Pop tip #3 – You will definitely want to make sure you have melted enough chocolate, and that it is in a mug or other tall and thin container. This will make dipping the pops a lot easier than if you used a bowl or something shallow.
Pink, Ivory & Gold Cake Pops
To dip the chocolate cake pops, you are first going to insert the stick into the hardened ball. Make sure you dip the end of the stick in some of the melted chocolate first, as this will then harden and act as a glue to keep the ball secured on the stick. You really don’t want to miss this step, or rush and dip the pop before the chocolate has fully set, otherwise your ball will fall off 🙁
Pop tip #4 – If you are using melted chocolate to dip your balls into, then it can sometimes be a little too thick for easy dipping. If this is the case, you can add a teaspoon or so of vegetable or sunflower oil to help things loosen up a bit. Don’t add too much, or you will end up with a greasy mixture. Just add as little as you can to help things along.
The actual dipping process can be a bit of a learning curve. Your first few cake pops will look a bit of a mess. Be prepared for that. But once you have perfected the combination of dipping, tapping, and turning, you will be a cake pop pro.
How To Make Glitter Topped Cake Pops • Pint Sized Baker
I used this cake pop dipping tutorial video from My Cupcake Addiction to learn how to get the cake pops looking half-decent, and I suggest you do the same if you are a cake pop novice. It also explains how to get the metallic cake pop look, using some golden dust and alcohol (you can’t taste the booze – it evaporates).
Please let me know if you have any cake pop tips in the comments below for my next attempt. I would be very grateful 🙂

St. Patricks Day Cake Pops
Cake pops are one of the cutest and funnest desserts to make for parties or special occasions (or just to celebrate a hard day at work). Who doesn’t love bite-sized cake? This super easy recipe uses box cake mix and pre-made icing, and then I dipped them in gold to make them party-ready.
Like I said before, we’re making this cake pop recipe as easy as possible by starting with box cake mix and pre-made frosting. This means your ingredient list will be nice and short!
I got a little crafty for the cake pop sticks. Use decorative paper straws of your choice and cut them in half. They work great and look cute.
Gingerbread Cake Pops
Yes! This is not really a last-minute kind of recipe, so be sure to plan a bit for this one. You will need to do a lot of chilling/resting between steps. Make sure you have enough time to bake the cake, let it cool, assemble the cake pops, and chill them after coating. All the details for timing is in the recipe card!
Because of all that, you can make these lemon cake pops up to 2 days ahead of time and keep them in the refrigerator until you’re reading to serve.
If you have leftovers or end up making them ahead of time, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
How To Make Perfect Cake Pops Everytime!
You can also freeze them after the chocolate coating has fully cooled in the fridge. Freeze up to 6 weeks, then let them thaw in the fridge before serving.
These homemade lemon cake pops make a great party treat. They are so much fun for kids birthday parties, and these glitter-covered ones are perfect for some sparkle on New Year’s Eve. So skip the trip to Starbucks for your afternoon cake pops and make them at home yourself instead (although eating one per day might be tough!).

Pot O' Gold Cake Pops
I looked all over for the gold coins and finally found them in the bulk food section of my grocery store. If you can't find them in a local store, order them online instead.
You can use this same method using different cake flavors or even brownies like our Brownie Truffles or Red Velvet Cake Balls.
