Blue Red and White Cake Pops
These Red White and Blue beauties are a great to celebrate the Patriotic Days.
Servings: 50
Ingredients
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix (plus all ingredients needed, as listed on box)
- 3/4 can prepared cream cheese frosting
- White or blue chocolate melts -Wilton brand
- Red chocolate melts
- Blue, Red and White sprinkles and stars
- 50 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Bake cake as directed on package or in recipe.
- When completely cool, break the cake into crumbs by hand in a large bowl. Mix in full can of frosting until well blended.
- Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place on waxed paper.
- Melt the candy melts as directed or in a melting pot.
- Dip a lollipop stick about ½ inch into the melted chocolate and insert the stick into the rounded part of a cake ball. Repeat for remaining cake balls.
- Place the cake pops in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, to firm.
- Once the pops are firm, remove from the fridge/freezer and dip each into the melted chocolate, tapping excess chocolate off.
- Use blue red and white candy-making melting chocolate to cover the balls.
- Prop up pops, cake end down, on waxed paper while the chocolate is still slightly warm, so the candy hardens into a flat surface at the top (this will help your pops stand up when serving).
- Finish the sprinkles before chocolate coating hardens.
