Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Are These Cake Pops Just For Easter?
Absolutely NOT! While these are perfect Easter Desserts, they also work for ANY occasion where you just need a little nibble of delicious cake!
Do I Need to Use a Cake Pop Mold?
You CAN use a cake pop mold if you want. You’ll find those at most large retailers like WalMart or Target.
However, you’ll do just as well making cake pops without a mold too! Simply use a small food scoop to make sure you have even amounts for each one.
Can I Make Cake Pops Without a Stick?
Yes! Of course you can!
Simply cover them well with the melted chocolate and dry on a rack or piece of parchment paper and then dab a little chocolate on any spots that are missing a cover before serving.
Can I Make Cake Pops With Leftover Cake?
Yes! Absolutely you can! If the cake has icing on it already then you will need to estimate the amount of cake relative to the amount of icing.
This recipe calls for one full cake recipe and one can of icing in a 1:1 ratio.
If you have half a cake left over and used a full can of icing on the cake, then you shouldn’t need to add any icing!
Can I Make these Easter Cake Pops with Chocolate Cake?
You KNOW it! Have fun with lots of different combinations of cake and icing. Just be sure to keep that 1:1 ratio of cake to icing! 1 Full Cake Recipes to 1 Jar of Icing.
Tips and Tricks for Easter Cake Pop Recipe!
- Be sure to refrigerate the cake and icing mixture. This firms up the mixture and makes it easier to roll into balls and for the balls to stay on the sticks!
- Use a small scoop to dip out the icing to ensure equal sized balls.
- If you don’t have the sucker sticks to use, you can improvise with BBQ skewers (cut them into sucker length sticks and be sure to remove the sharp end).
- It’s no problem at all if you can’t find the candy melts, instead use the quick melt chocolate!
- Don’t want to use a stick? That’s fine! These are the cutest little Easter Bon Bons without a stick!
- Once the chocolate is dry, you can cover with a small cellophane bag and tie with a cute ribbon! If you don’t have cellophane bags, a plain plastic sandwich bag works too!
- Candy Quick works for the outside shell too! Just understand that Candy Quick is thicker and heavier and will make the cake pops fall apart easier.
- The Cake pops will WANT to fall apart while you are putting the outside shell on. Be very gentle with them. Make sure that the chocolate is as thin as possible. You might have to warm it back up to make it looser. Make sure that your cake filling is as cold as possible, this might mean that you stick it in the freezer for a short while to get colder.
PRO TIP: If you would like for the inside of your cake pop to be a colorful Easter color, use a little food coloring to make it a fun spring color!
Supplies You Might Need…
These are the typical supplies you might need to make these wonderful little Easter Cake Pops. I used the sucker sticks. As I noted above, all of this is optional. These supplies will also be available at most large retailers in the party section. (Check Target and WalMart).

Bag of sucker sticks
These are the sucker sticks. You can also use a BBQ skewer, cut into pieces. Be sure to remove the sharp end. You can also use popsicle sticks.
This is a cake pop mold. You can use a small food scoop instead. That works just fine too. 
This is a cake pop holder. Use it for a party or to allow the chocolate to dry on your cake pops. If using to dry the chocolate, an upside down egg carton works fine too. 
These are small bags to cover the cake pops when complete. You can also use small plastic sandwich bags.

Easter Cake Pops
Ingredients
- 1 Cake from box mix, prepared per box instructions
- 8 oz cake icing Cream Cheese Variety is best
- 1 bag melting chocolates
- Candy sprinkles
Instructions
- 24 Hours before you plan to make the cake pops, bake the cake per box instructions. Once baked, crumble and mix well with the cake icing. Refrigerate until ready to make the cake pops.
- Remove the cake mixture from the refrigerator when ready to make the cake pops. Using a small food scoop or cake pop mold, roll the cake pops into golf ball size pieces.
- Place a sucker stick in the bottom of each ball sticking it about half way through the ball. Set these aside.
- Melt the chocolates in a microwave safe bowl on high temp, stir every 30 seconds until completely melted.
- SPECIAL NOTE: At this point, you will want to put something down under where the cake pops will set up. The chocolate is drippy and sticks to surfaces. Wax paper, parchment paper or newspaper underneath will work.
- Dip the cake pops into the chocolate to cover well. Sprinkle with the sprinkles of your choice and allow to cool.
- If you have the cake pop holder that holds each cake pop separately, then do that. If not, turn an egg carton upside down and poke the sucker sticks through the styrofoam to hold them till dried.
- Once dried, you will want to cover the cake pop with a cover like a cellophane bag or plastic sandwich bag. Tie with a cute ribbon.
Notes

A VERSE TO SHARE
Considering the Easter Season, I thought this a fitting verse to share. There isn’t much to add to it either. Thankfully. 🙂

Thank you so much!! Yes, Sarah's Iggi is usually very curious about what we are doing when there are food photos involved!! Although having him sit still enough to have his own photo made is another story. I'll tell Sarah that you stopped by!
