CakePop Tutorial

1. HOW TO MAKE
Chelsea Quackenbush
Cake Pops!

2. Gather ingredients
To make cake pops, you will need:
-A box of cake mix and ingredients to make the cake
-A can of frosting
-Candy melts
- Lollipop sticks
- A Styrofoam block or cake pop stand

3. Bake cake
You don’t need to do anything
special. Just follow the instructions
on the back of the box.
-Let it cool off completely before you work
with it.

4. Destroy cake
You want to crumble your cake into fine
crumbs. You can do this one of two ways:
1) Use your hands. Put chunks of your cake into a
large mixing bowl and use your hands to crumble it
into a pile of fine crumbs.
2) Use a food processor. Put chunks of your cake into
a food processor and pulse it into fine crumbs.

5. Add frosting and mix
well
Add a small amount of frosting to
your cake crumbs and thoroughly
combine using your hands.
-Continue to add small amounts of frosting
until your crumb mixture becomes the
consistency of clay.

6. Scoop and Roll into
balls
Roll the cake mixture into balls
about 1.25″ wide.
-Set your cake balls onto a parchment lined
baking sheet or plate and put them in the
freezer or refrigerator for about 10 minutes or
so, just enough to chill them.

7. Let chill & melt candy melts
While the cake pops are chilling,
melt the candy melts.
-Microwave your candy melts in a bowl on
low power for 30-seconds at a time.
-Stop and stir after each 30-second interval
then repeat until the coating is completely
melted.

8. Insert sticks and dip cake
balls
Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted coating
and then into a cake ball, gently pushing until the
stick is about half way through the cake ball. Set the
cake pops in the fridge to chill for dipping.
-Dip each chilled cake pop straight down into the melted coating until
the cake ball is completely covered and sealed.
-Remove the cake pop from the melted coating by pulling it straight up.
Then, turn the cake pop at an angle and gently tap off any excess
coating.

9. Decorate and enjoy
- Set your cake pops in your
Styrofoam block or cake pop stand
until the coating has hardened.
- Or while the coating is still wet
use sprinkles, candies, or sugars to
decorate your cake pops.
