These easy Cake Pops are made from crumbled cake mixed with frosting, then dipped in chocolate or candy melts. Perfect for parties, holidays, or using up leftover cake, they’re fun to make and endlessly customizable.

Ingredients

  • Baked cake (any flavor), cooled
  • Frosting (homemade or store-bought)
  • Candy melts or chocolate chips
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Optional: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or cookie crumbs for decorating

Instructions

  1. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Mix in just enough frosting to achieve a dough-like consistency.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined tray.
  4. Chill the balls in the fridge or freezer for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt candy melts or chocolate according to package directions.
  6. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted coating, then insert into each cake ball.
  7. Dip the entire cake pop into the melted coating, tap off excess, and decorate immediately.
  8. Let the coating dry by placing pops upright in a foam block or laying flat on parchment paper.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of frosting gradually to avoid a mushy texture.
  • Use themed sprinkles or colored melts for holidays and special occasions.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature (up to 3 days) or refrigerate (up to 5 days).
  • Freeze for longer storage; wrap individually and thaw overnight in the fridge.
  • Skip the sticks to make cake truffles instead.
