Notes

  • COOKING TIP: If there is excess cake on the cake balls (which is common), simply remove it with a small knife, once the cake pops have cooled.
  • If you want to add a little pop of fun to your cake pops, sprinkle some colored sugar or cute sprinkles onto the wet glaze, or dip them into chocolate. This will make them look extra festive for a holiday party, birthday celebration, or any other type of gathering!
  • To store your cake pops, place them in an airtight container. You can keep them at room temperature for about a week, about 2 weeks in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
