How to Make Cake Pops

Cake pops are a fun treat that allow people to enjoy the delicious taste of cake in a convenient, bite-sized way. Another advantage of cake pops is that you can combine different cake and icing flavors to come up with a wide variety of cake pops to choose from. If you are new to cake pops and would like a simple method for making them, check out the recipe below.
Ingredients:

• Box of yellow cake mix and any ingredients needed to prepare the cake, such as eggs and vegetable oil
• 1 jar of chocolate icing
• 18 lollipop sticks
• 1 bag chocolate candy melts
• 1 package of sprinkles

Directions:

• Prepare the cake according to the directions on the box
• Crumble cake into a large bowl. Stir about 1/3 cup of frosting into the cake crumbles (don’t use too much icing; you want to make it just moist enough to be able to mold the cake into balls).
• Roll the cake mixture into 1 ½-inch balls and place on a baking sheet.
• Stick one lollipop stick into each ball.
• Place baking sheet in freezer for 15 minutes.
• Put ¼ cup of the candy melts in a bowl and microwave for about 20 seconds, or until melted.
• Dip a ball in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
• Top with sprinkles.
• Return to the baking sheet.
• Repeat with remaining cake balls.
• Let the cake pops set for about 20-30 minutes before eating.

This is just one example of the type of cake pops you can make in the well-appointed kitchen of your Lady Lake, FL, apartment at The Quarters. If you would prefer to use a different type of cake, icing, and candy melt – such as red velvet cake, cream cheese frosting, and vanilla candy melts – then feel free to give it a try!
