Cake Pops
I have always wanted to recommend this product just because you all know how much I LOVE Bakerella. Anyways. Cake Pops are my jam! I actually love them! I think they are great for any type of event and I think that Bakerella absolutely is amazing at making them a presenting them! I am going to show you some of her great recipes and I hope that you try them and enjoy them as much as I do!
Recipe #1
Who doesn't love Minions??
Ingredients:
1 box cake mix
1 16 oz can of ready made frosting
Yellow candy coating
Blue candy coating
Black or chocolate jimmies
Candy eyes (regular and jumbo)
Silver luster dust, clear extract and brush
Black licorice
Black and brown edible ink pen
Black confetti sprinkles, sunflower seeds
Toothpicks
Paper lollipop sticks
Styrofoam block
Directions:
Bake cake as directed on package and cool completely. • Crumble cake into a large bowl. • Using the back of a large spoon, mix cake crumbs with about 2/3 of the can of frosting. You won’t need the rest. • Roll mixture into quarter size cake balls and place on a wax paper covered baking sheet. • Re-shape balls into smooth cylinders for Minion shapes. Use wax paper to help make the shapes. • Place shaped balls in the freezer for around 15 minutes to firm up. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to keep chilled and avoid freezing. • Melt yellow candy coating in a heat-proof plastic bowl so that the coating is about three inches deep for easier dipping. Melt in the microwave in 30 second intervals on low, and stir in between. Repeat until melted and smooth. • Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted coating and insert into the cake ball. Dip and remove in one motion without stirring the pop. Note: If your coating is too thick, you can add a little vegetable oil to help thin it and make it easier to work with. • Gently tap off any excess coating. Place candy eyes and insert jimmies on top of head for hair before the coating dries. Place in a Styrofoam block to dry. • When dry, cut licorice pieces to attach to the Minions’ goggles. Attach to the head using melted yellow candy coating as glue. • Paint rims on candy eyes using silver luster dust mixed with a little clear vanilla extract for the goggles. • Finish the eyes using a brown and black edible ink pen and white candy coating (optional) dotted on each pupil. Draw in mouths with a brown edible ink pen. • For the overalls, gently remove pops from lollipop sticks and dip the bottom of each body in melted blue candy coating. Then reinsert the lollipop stick and let dry. Apply more blue candy coating to the front for the overall bibs using a squeeze bottle or a toothpick dipped in coating. • Optional: Draw on overall straps using a toothpick. Then attach black sunflower seeds for shoes using more melted blue candy coating. Pipe or draw on arms using melted yellow candy coating and a squeeze bottle or toothpicks to apply. Then attach black confetti sprinkles for gloves and the logo patch on front of the Minions’ overalls.

Divide the cake into quarters to make 12 at a time and you can freeze the rest of the cake for another use. You’ll need about one ounce of candy coating for each cake pop.

Recipe #2

1 box red velvet cake mix (cook as directed on box for 13 X 9 cake)
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper
1 can cream cheese frosting (16 oz.)
1 package chocolate bark (regular or white chocolate)
wax paper
1. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
2. Mix thoroughly with 1 can cream cheese frosting. (It may be easier to use fingers to mix together, but be warned it will get messy.)
3. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. (Should make 45-50. You can get even more if you use a mini ice cream scooper, but I like to hand roll them.)
4. Chill for several hours. (You can speed this up by putting in the freezer.)
5. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package.
6. Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use a spoon to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.)

I also only melt a few pieces of chocolate bark at a time because it starts to cool and thicken. It’s easier to work with when it’s hot.
She didn't have the whole recipe of the cake pops because she made them in a rush, but they are still oh so good! The only thing that I think is wrong with these recipes is that she uses store bought recipes. But when it comes to cake pops you almost have to have store bought things for them to taste completely right.
I hope you try some of these recipes and look for more on her website. I will link her website down below for you to check out! If you try them and love them, let me know down in the comments if you love them just as much as I do!!
