Cake Pops!

I tried making cake pops for the first time. They turned out ok, but they don't look the best. I also added to much frosting so they were a little soft. But they still tasted awesome!

What You Will Need:

cake mix

9-by-13 cake pan

large mixing bowl

frosting

large spoon

wax paper

2 baking sheets

48 ounces candy coating

deep, microwave safe bowl

48 paper lollipop sticks

styrofoam block

1st step: Make your cake. {Chocolate recipe I use is in an earlier post}

2nd step: After the cake is cooled, crumble it into a big mixing bowl & add 1 1/2 cup frosting.

3rd step: roll into balls and set on wax paper.

4th step: chill in the refrigerator for several hours or freezer for 15 minutes.

5th step: melt candy coating in microwave safe bowl. I did 30-seconds at a time. stir and then do 30 more seconds until it is completely melted.

6th step: start dipping. take only a few out at a time. If balls were in freezer, transfer to the fridge so they do not freeze.

7th step: Dip about 1/2 inch of stick into melted candy coating and then stick it straight into the cake ball, push it no farther than halfway through. {Picture below}

8th step: holding onto stick, dip the whole cake ball into candy coating. let the extra coating drip off. after all the excess is done dripping place, in styrofoam block. {Picture below}

9th step: repeat with the rest of the cake balls.
