​Cake pops are my new creative outlet and they're easier to make than you might think.

​Follow my simple step by step instructions and can create cake pops of your very own.  Be careful though - they can be very addicting.  
​Bake your favorite cake in a 9x13 pan.  I tinted a yellow cake with  blue food coloring because I wanted to make blue cake pops for a baby shower.
​Cool cake and crumble into a large bowl.

​Add 1 cup of frosting.  (Either from a can or your favorite recipe.)
​Stir with a spatula to combine.

​Using a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough and shape into balls with your hands.  I shaped mine into tiny hot air balloons.

Chill for 1 hour.  DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
Melt 1/4 cup candy melts in the microwave.  Dip a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then push it halfway into the cake ball.

Chill for 1 hour.  AGAIN, DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!

​Melt candy melts and dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate until coated.

​I never invested in a cake pop stand before and I tried to use a styrofoam block.  I probably don't have to tell you how that ended up but just know that it was VERY unsuccessful.  Trust me... the $3.50 cake stand is WELL worth it.
​Once the cake pops are dry, decorate with melted chocolate.

​I am no expert at making cake pops but I'm completely addicted.  There are so many creative ways to decorate these fun desserts.  Have you tried making them?  Post a comment on my blog and let me know how they turned out.  

Ciao!
