Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening; lightly flour.
• In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt; set aside. In small bowl, mix milk, vanilla, lemon peel and egg whites; set aside. In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Pour into pan.
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on cooling rack, about 1 hour.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. With fingers, crumble cake into large bowl. Add lemon curd; mix well with spoon. Roll cake mixture into 1-inch balls; place on cookie sheet. Freeze about 30 minutes or until firm; keep frozen.
• In medium deep bowl, beat frosting mix and boiling water with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 5 to 7 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until stiff glossy peaks form.
• Remove several cake balls from freezer at a time. For each pop, insert 1 lollipop stick halfway into 1 cake ball. Dip cake ball into frosting, swirling to coat. Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. Sprinkle pops with sparkling sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a rectangular baking dish with butter.
• Cream 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and mix into the batter 1/4 cup at a time. Beat in lemon zest. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Combine cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with lemon juice, mixing until frosting has the desired consistency.
• Poke holes 2 to 3 inches apart into 1 side of a styrofoam block using a lollipop stick.
• Trim off tops and sides of the cake. Crumble the cake into very fine crumbs using your hands. Mix in 2 tablespoons frosting until thoroughly combined. Add more frosting if necessary until mixture is smooth and sticks together.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Roll the cake mixture into walnut-sized balls. Arrange cake balls on lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Melt 1/4 of the confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Poke a small hole into each cake ball with a lollipop stick. Dip lollipop sticks into the confectioners' coating and stick one into each cake ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Melt remaining confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Dip cake balls into the coating; tap to remove excess coating. Scatter sprinkles over the cake balls. Stick cake pops upright in the prepared foam block. Allow to dry completely.

LEMON CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. Bake cake as directed on box. Cool completely.
• 2. Crumble cake into large bowl.
• 3. Mix cake crumbs thoroughly with 2/3 or up to 1 can of the frosting. Use hands or mixer.
• 4. Roll mixture into little balls and place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. I used a mini ice cream scooper to keep the balls uniform.
• 5. Place cake balls in refrigerator and chill for several hours or 15 - 30 minutes in the freezer.
• 6. After the cake balls are chilled, melt some of the bark according to directions; dip stick in the icing and place in the cake ball.
• 7. Continue until all cake balls have sticks. Refrigerate again until sticks set (10-15 minutes)
• 8. Melt rest of the bark, rolls cake balls in icing, carefully tap off extra icing
• 9. If decorating with sprinkles, pearls or colored sugar, do so immediately after dipping in icing. The icing sets quickly.
• 10. Push sticks into styrofoam block, space pops so they won't touch.
• 11. Let cake pops set completely

LEMON CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cake according to the directions on the box, but add in the lemon zest and lemon extract as well. Bake according to the directions on the box. Let cool completely. 2. Crumble the cake into the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat for a minute to break the cake into small crumbles, then add a scoop of frosting. Mix and add more frosting if necessary until the mixture is able to be formed into balls but still a little crumbly. 3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour. 4. Before removing the balls from the refrigerator or freezer, prepare your decorations. Have the sprinkles and cake pop sticks handy. Melt the candy wafers in a double boiler or the microwave. I like to pour the melted candy wafers into a 2 cup glass measuring cup for easy dunking. 5. Take out a few cake balls at a time. Take a stick and dip it in the melted white chocolate, then stick it into one of the cake balls. Dip completely into the melted chocolate. Gently spin and tap the pop to remove excess chocolate. Add some sprinkles and poke the pop in a styrofoam block to harden. Repeat for the remaining cake pops. 6. Store the cake pops in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze for up to 6 weeks and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
