INGREDIENTS: cake (from scratch, from a box, or store bought), frosting, lollipop sticks, decorations (sprinkles, coconut flakes, candy eye balls, etc.)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Either make your own cake or go buy one from the store.
2. Break your cake up into little pieces. Add frosting. We used 1/2 of our cake and 1/2 of our frosting.
3. Form the cake pops. Aim for golf-ball sized pops. Don't make them too big or they might fall off!
4. Melt either the frosting or chocolate. We melted the other half of our chocolate using a double boiler method -- bring a pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat. Put the bowl full of frosting (and covered in plastic wrap) on top of the pot. The plastic wrap keeps the heat in and helps the frosting to melt without having to bring it to such a high temp.
5. Dip the lollipop stick into the melted frosting and place it about halfway through the cake pop. The melted frosting will act as the glue that holds everything together.
6. Place cake pops into the refrigerator for 45 min-1 hour.
7. Remove from refrigerator. Dip & decorate! (Dip in melted frosting or use a spoon the drizzle the frosting over the cake pop. Let excess drip off & wait 10-15 seconds to decorate with sprinkles or whatever else you want).
8. Enjoy! (We refrigerated ours overnight before eating).
