🍽Equipment

• treat sticks
• cake pop stand
• bowls

1. Place the cake slices in a large bowl and crumble them with your hands or using a fork. Separate about 4 teaspoons for the topping and reserve.
2. Add frosting, a couple of heaping tablespoons at a time, and mix thoroughly. The amount of frosting you’ll need depends on the texture of the mixture. You need to reach a texture that allows you to form balls with your hands. If no cracks appear, it is ready.
3. Use a small cookie scoop to make round balls of the cake mix. Place them on wax paper.
4. Melt the white chocolate (or candy melts) in a double boiler or in the microwave.
5. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert about halfway into the cake balls.
6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the cake pops to firm up and the chocolate on the stick to harden.
7. Insert the cake ball into the melted white chocolate and rotate until covered. Softly tap and rotate the cake pop until the excess chocolate falls off. Don’t tap too hard or the cake ball could fall off.
8. Place in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand. Sprinkle with red velvet cake crumbles and let them dry.
9. Serve!

The easy prep makes it a good recipe to share with your children. If your kids are clamoring to help in the kitchen, let them help make the cake pop balls while you deal with heating the white chocolate up. Of course, after everything is done, all the cooks get to try a red velvet cake pop for dessert.
