How to Make Halloween Cake Pops
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make basic Halloween cake pops that are sure to be a hit at any spooky celebration:
Ingredients:
- Prepared cake (any flavor you prefer)
- Frosting (matching the cake flavor)
- Candy melts or chocolate (various colors)
- Lollipop sticks or paper straws
- Halloween Sprinkles
- Foam block for drying
Instructions:
- Bake the Cake: Begin by baking a cake of your choice according to the instructions on the box or your favorite recipe. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Crumble the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands, a fork, or using a stand mixer.
- Add Frosting: Gradually add frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until you achieve a dough-like consistency. The frosting helps bind the cake crumbs together. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
- Shape the Cake Balls: Roll the cake and frosting mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Candy Melts or Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts or chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
- Dip the Sticks: Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy or chocolate and then insert it into the center of a cake ball about halfway. This will help secure the cake ball to the stick.
- Dip the Cake Pops: Holding the stick, dip each cake pop into the melted candy or chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. You can gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to help remove excess coating.
- Decorate: While the coating is still wet, decorate the cake pops with your Halloween sprinkles.
- Let Them Dry: Insert the stick of each decorated cake pop into a foam block to dry. This will prevent any smudging or messing up the decorations. Let them dry completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the cake pops are fully dry and the coating has hardened, they’re ready to be enjoyed! Arrange them in a decorative stand or on a plate, and watch them disappear at your Halloween gathering.
Now that you know the general idea on how to make Halloween cake pops lets look at some fun ideas to help you get really creative.
