I finally had the opportunity to make Cake Pops, so I tested it out with my sister. I wasnt so sure how they would actually turn out but they actually exceeded my expectations ! They look so cute and taste AMAZING. No joke. Such a cute party dish, you take these somewhere and people will be complimenting you on your baking talents left, right, and center ! Heres the recipe;
Ingredients
- box of Betty Crocker Cake mix (or desired brand of cake mix)
- 3 cans of cream cheese frosting
- eggs/oil according to instructions on cake mix
- large baking sheet
- sprinkles
- piece of Styrofoam ( you need to be able to stick the popsicle sticks in it)
- popsicle sticks
Directions
- Follow the instructions on the back of your cake mix and bake your cake as you normal would.
- Once cake is done, let it cool completely
- Now, Crumble your cake into a large cooking bowl. There should be no large chunks. Aim for breadcrumb-like texture
- Add in one can of frosting directly into your bowl of cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly until consistently blended.
- Take a bit of cake mixture and shape it into a small ball with your hands. Do this with the rest of the cake mix, it should be consistent.
- Refrigerate overnight or put them in the freezer for a couple of hours ( covered in saran wrap).
- Melt your remaining icing and add food colouring if you want it.
- Stick Popsicle sticks into your cake balls and dip them into your melted icing. let remaining icing drip off. ( I advise that you hold them at an angle so the icing doesn't make the top look bumpy)
- Add your sprinkles
- stick the cake pop into the Styrofoam to let it dry
- put them in the fridge overnight to store
And voila! It sounds like a lot but honestly it was a piece of cake.. get it? Yah, good sense of humor Amy..
