Cake Pop stand (found on Amazon)
First step:
Follow the instructions on the back of your cake mix box. Mix together your eggs, oil and water and bake in the oven. Once baked let cool & mash the cake with your fingers.
Second Step:
Add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of vanilla whipped frosting to your mashed cake. Mix together until the consistency is good enough to roll into tight balls. Use an ice cream scooper to scoop out the cake mixture to keep the portion size the same.
Third Step:
Roll cake mixture into small balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place in fridge for 20 minutes.
Fourth Step:
Melt your candy coating chocolate in a bowl 30 seconds at a time until melted. This will keep your chocolate from burning. Stir in between those 30 seconds.
Fifth Step:
We bought white plastic treat sticks from Walmart. Dip ½ an inch of the stick in melted chocolate and push down the chocolate side into cake ball. The melted chocolate will help the stick stay in the cake ball. Put back in your fridge for 15 minutes.
Sixth Step:
Dip cake ball in melted chocolate and decorate with sprinkles. Use styrofoam to place the cooling cake pops.
Seventh Step:
Place in fridge for another 5 minutes and then eat!!!
These treats are perfect for any occasion. They are so versatile for any season or holiday.
