Take some cake scraps from one of your recent creations – or bake a standard 9 inch round and let it cool completely.
-
Crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl.
- Add whichever kind of icing you wish to use. Use only a few tablespoons at first and then fold it into the cake crumbles. Adding a bit more until you reach a consistency like meatloaf or play dough. Remember to FOLD and not stir.
- Prepare a baking sheet or cake pan with non-stick oil, spray, or wax paper.
- Scoop out a portion of the cake and icing mix using an ice cream scoop, melon baller, or a teaspoon. Then roll gently with your hand to get a nice ball shape. Place the cake balls onto your baking sheet. how to make cake pops

- Now take each sucker pop and place it upright into a styrofoam block or cardboard box. The tops of the pops may be a little flat from siting on the baking sheet. You can use your fingers and gentle pressure to re-form them.
- Place the pops in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Just before taking the pops out of the freezer, melt some chocolate and then take it off the heat. You want it to be a smooth melted texture, but not a hot liquid.

- Optional: you can now add sprinkles or coloured sugar to the pops if you desire. Do this while the chocolate is wet.
- Place the pops back into the styrofoam block.
- Then then place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden the chocolate.
