Steps:
- Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
- Break the cake into pieces and place it in a food processor. Add the frosting and process until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 30 seconds. If the mixture doesn't come together, add more frosting 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds its shape.
- Using a 3/4-ounce scoop, form the mixture into 46 balls and put them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to package directions. Dip a half inch of the tip of a lollipop stick into the candy and then stick the tip halfway into a cake ball. Repeat with the remaining balls and sticks. Refrigerate the cake pops until completely chilled, about 1 hour.
- Microwave the candy again until melted and pour it into a tall narrow glass. Dip each cake pop into the candy and let any excess run off. If decorating, turn the cake pop upright and sprinkle with sprinkles while the coating is still wet. Stick the finished pops in two 9.8-by-11.8-inch Styrofoam blocks block and let set completely.
FUDGY CAKE POPS
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a quarter sheet tray with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Reserve.
- Combine the granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time. Slowly add the sour cream, milk and vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. With the mixer on medium speed, gradually mix in the flour mixture.
- Spread the batter onto the sheet tray and bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the cream cheese frosting: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla and lemon juice in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Set aside.
- Place the cake into a food processor and pulse to crumble. Transfer to a bowl, then add 2 cups of the frosting and stir to combine. Take some of the cake and frosting mixture and roll into a ball, roughly the size of a golf ball. Insert a candy stick into the center. Place onto a parchment-lined sheet tray. Repeat with remaining cake and frosting mixture, to make about 12 pops. Place into the freezer to chill for 15 to 20 minutes.
- For the decorating: Set up 2 double boilers with a glass bowl fit over the top of each. Add the dark chocolate to one bowl, and the white chocolate to the other. Gently melt the dark and white chocolate over the double boilers, stirring frequently to ensure the chocolate is not burning on the bottom of the bowls.
- For the white chocolate eyeball cake pops: Dip half of the chilled cake pops into the white chocolate, rotating to make sure they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. Place right-side up into a piece of Styrofoam and stick one candy eye into the center of the cake pop. Repeat with remaining cake pops, transfer to the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
- Scoop 1/2 cup frosting into a small bowl and add 2 drops red food coloring. Mix to combine, then transfer into a pastry bag. Cut a very small amount off the tip, then pipe squiggly lines coming out from the candy eyes to resemble red veins.
- For the chocolate-dipped cake pops: Take the other half of the cake pops and dip into the dark chocolate, making sure to fully coat the cake and allowing any excess to drip off. Roll immediately in the black and orange nonpareils. Place right-side up into a piece of Styrofoam, then into the fridge to chill.

Everyone loves cake pops! They are simple to make, and you can create anything for any occasion. They are also nice small bites of dessert instead of large slices of cake or pie. Can be made up in partial batches and the remaining ingredients stored for a few weeks.

- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, water, vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon McCormick® Pure Almond Extract until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Break apart the cake into a large bowl until finely crumbled.

Steps:
- Bake the strawberry cake in the pan of your choice according to the package instructions, then let cool completely.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Crumble the cake into a large bowl, then stir in the vanilla frosting, 2 tablespoons at a time, with your hands or a spoon, until the mixture holds together when pressed. You should need between ½ cup and ¾ cup of frosting, depending on the texture of the cake.
- Using a small ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop out 1½ tablespoons of the cake mixture and roll into a tight ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cake mix; you should have 24 cake balls. Transfer to the freezer while you melt the white chocolate.
- Add ¾ cup white chocolate chips to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
- Dip about ¼ inch of one end of a straw in the melted white chocolate, then gently insert into the center of a cake ball, about halfway through the ball. Return the ball, straw-side up, to the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cake balls, then return to the freezer for at least 45 minutes, or until the balls are thoroughly chilled and firm.
- Line another small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix 1-3 drops of red food coloring, 1 drop at a time, into the remaining melted white chocolate until it is the desired shade of pink. Transfer the pink chocolate to a small piping bag with a very small round tip.
- Pipe the pink chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet in 24 1-inch-wide bow shapes, using a toothpick to smooth out the edges and fill any gaps. Freeze for 10 minutes, until set. Remove from the freezer and squeeze a small dot of pink gel icing onto the center of each bow, then return to the freezer until ready to use.
- Add the remaining white chocolate chips and the coconut oil to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth.
- Working one at a time, remove the cake pops from the freezer. Dip the pop in the melted white chocolate until completely coated, using a spoon as needed to help cover the top. Use the straw to spin the pop over the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, then sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles. Place the pop, straw up, back on the baking sheet in the freezer. Repeat with the remaining pops, then freeze for 10 minutes more, until the chocolate is set.
- Using the remaining vanilla frosting, place a small dot of frosting on the back of each pink chocolate bow, then press onto the top corner of each cake pop.
- Refrigerate the pops until ready to serve.
- Enjoy!
