Bluebird Cake Pops Recipes

SIMPLE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl using an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 28 to 33 minutes. Cool completely, at least 1 hour.
• Crumble cake into a large bowl. Stir frosting into cake crumbles until mixture is sticky but not too smooth. Chill in refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.
• Roll cake mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Place 1 lollipop stick into each ball.
• Melt about 1/4 cup chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, about 20 seconds. Dip each cake pop in the melted chocolate. Repeat melting chocolate and dipping remaining cake pops. Decorate pops with decorating icing.

In microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts and shortening uncovered on Medium (50%) 2 minutes, stirring once, then in 15-second intervals, until melted; stir in candy color until smooth. Dip tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy; insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Repeat. Return pops to cookie sheet. Refrigerate 5 minutes; remove a few at a time. Dip each cake ball into melted candy to cover; tap off excess. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Immediately attach wings, confetti for eyes and orange cone for beak. Let stand until set.
