boo-tiful cake pops

Print Recipe

instructions:

1. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on box.
2. Crumble cake into a large bowl. Add frosting and mix thoroughly.
3. Chill cake mixture for approximately 2 hours in the refrigerator (you can speed this up by placing in the freezer).
4. Roll mixture into 1” sized balls; place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball.
5. Melt Chocolate and Vanilla CANDIQUIK® in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to directions on package.
6. Add orange food coloring (oil-based) to 1 package of Vanilla CANDIQUIK®.
7. Dip cake pops in melted CANDIQUIK® (alternate between Vanilla, Orange, and Chocolate); allow excess coating to drip off and set on wax paper to dry.
8. Pumpkins: before coating is set, attach leaf sprinkles and 3 triangular shaped sprinkles as the eyes and nose. Once dry, use the black Gourmet Writer to draw the mouth.
9. Cats: before coating is set, use a heart-shaped sprinkle as the nose and 2 triangular sprinkles as the ears. Once dry, draw on eyes and whiskers with white cake writing icing.
10. Ghosts: once dry, use the black Gourmet Writer to draw on the eyes and mouth.

TIP: If cake balls become too soft or do not hold their shape while being dipped, return to the refrigerator for an additional 20- 30 minutes.
