Everybody loves cakepops! These are sweet, soft, easy to make, and super fun! I love cake pops at birthdays, back to school, graduations, anniversaries, and so much more! The flavor of the cake is a sweet and soft vanilla coated in a sweet and crunchy chocolate case. You can add so much fun to these with sprinkles, fruit, coloring, and more!!
Homemade
These cake pops are completely homemade. There isn’t any fancy boxed cake mix, or canned frosting. It completely made from scratch. Trust me, these taste so much better than any other cake pop you’ve tried. They even beat the cake pops from my favorite coffee shop!!
The cake pops only take a pinch of effort, and a sprinkle of time! I love cake pops!!
Here are the easy steps: (Don’t worry; they are super short and simple.”
- Make the cake
- Make the frosting
- Melt some chocolate
- Cool the cake. Crumble it. (The cake is so moist, it doesn’t need frosting, however, if your cake isn’t moist enough to roll into a ball, add some butter cream.
- Dip in chocolate
- Cool
- Enjoy
Ta-da, and you’ve got cake pops!!
Making the cake and crumbling it is the easy part! The moisture can get a bit finicky, so if the cake is dry, add some vanilla buttercream!
The cake pops are dry after dipping within and hour or so, however, if you pop them into the fridge, you’ll get cake pops in 20 minutes!
Tips
- Never, and I repeat, Never, add too much frosting (if you need it). They’ll make the cake pops wet and greasy–BEWARE
- You can choose to chill your cake pops before dipping them
- Use a measuring glass to dip the balls
- Sprinkles add some fun color, crunch, and flavor. Who doesn’t love sprinkles?
