Step 1: Cake Pop Supplies

To make cake pops, you will need:

- A box cake mix and ingredients to make the cake

- A can of frosting

- Candy melts

- Lollipop sticks

- A styrofoam block or cake pop stand

 Step 2: How To Make Cake Balls

 

 

Step 3:

 

 

1) Use your hands. Put chunks of your cake into a large mixing bowl and use your hands to crumble it into a pile of fine crumbs. If you use this method, I suggest cutting off the hard edges of your baked cake.

2) Use a food processor. Put chunks of your cake into a food processor and pulse it into fine crumbs. Move the crumbs into a large mixing bowl.

Step 4:

 

Once you have created your “dough”, you can begin rolling your cake balls. I like to use a stainless steel coffee scoop

to portion out my cake mixture so that all my cake balls are the same size, about 1.25″. Roll the mixture in the palm of your hand to create round cake balls.

Step 5: How To Turn Your Cake Balls Into Cake Pops

 

Step 6:

 

Step 7:

 

This is what I used:

Black gum paste

22 gauge wire

black stamens

needlenose pliers

gumglue

Step 1:

Step 2:

Again, using the needlenose pliers, curl one end of the wire to create a hook.

Step 3:

Step 4:

Place a small dab of gumglue onto the end of the wire that has the hook that you created.  Then place the black gumpaste ball onto the wire.

Step 7: 

Step 8:

Finally, stick the pieces of stamen into the flat part on top.

And there you go, a simple wired flower center!

Happy Caking!
