Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla single layer cake
- 1 Chocolate single layer cake
- 3 ounces frosting homemade buttercream frosting or store-bought
- 2 Bags Candy melts any color or flavor or more depending on design
- Optional: Sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Crumble the Cake
- Crumble the vanilla and chocolate cakes into fine, even crumbs using a large bowl. A uniform texture is key for a smooth cake pop recipe.
Step 2: Mix in the Frosting
- Add 3 ounces of frosting and mix until the cake mixture resembles soft dough and holds together when rolled.
Step 3: Roll the Cake Pops
- Roll the mixture into evenly sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Chill
- Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until firm. Chilling helps this cake pop recipe hold its shape during coating.
Step 5: Coat with Candy Melts
- Melt the candy melts according to package instructions. Dip each cake ball until fully coated, tapping gently to remove excess.
Step 6: Let Set
- Allow the coating to set completely before serving or packaging.
