Lego Cake Pops Recipes

CAKE POPS

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.

SIMPLE CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl using an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 28 to 33 minutes. Cool completely, at least 1 hour.
• Crumble cake into a large bowl. Stir frosting into cake crumbles until mixture is sticky but not too smooth. Chill in refrigerator, at least 30 minutes.
• Roll cake mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on a baking sheet. Place 1 lollipop stick into each ball.
• Melt about 1/4 cup chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, about 20 seconds. Dip each cake pop in the melted chocolate. Repeat melting chocolate and dipping remaining cake pops. Decorate pops with decorating icing.

LEGO CAKE POPS

Steps:

• Once the cake has cooled, break up the cake and place in a large bowl.
• Add ¼ cup frosting and mix with a hand mixer (or in a stand mixer) until the cake starts to come together.
• Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper (use clothespins to hold down the sides of parchment paper) and press the mix into the pan.
• Use a pastry cutter (or something with a large flat edge) and press down into the pan. Then use an offset spatula to smooth the top of the cake pop mixture.
• Place in the freezer for 1-2 hours until set.
• Lift the sides of the parchment paper up to remove the cake pop mixture onto a clean surface.
• In separate microwave safe jars, melt the candy melts. Microwave about 1 minute at 50% power. Remove to stir and return for 30 second intervals until melted. DO NOT OVER HEAT.
• Cut into 20 pieces. Gently reshape the pieces to be slightly smaller, fatter rectangle. To do this, press the tops down and the sides in and work until you get your desired shape. (You want to make sure it is thicker than the sandwich cookie you're going to stick on top).
• Stick a candy stick in the melted candy and then press into the bottom of the cake pop. Take a mini sandwich cookie and add a drop of candy melts to one side of the cookie and press onto the top.
• Set aside a pan lined with parchment paper. Let the candy melts set. Once they are all assembled, place in the refrigerator or freezer for another hour.
• Remove from freezer. If necessary, re-melt your candy melts, but do not over heat or the consistency will change and will ruin the cake pops.
• Gently dip each cake pop into the candy melts. Gently tap the side of the cup to let the access candy drip from the sides, allowing the Lego to form. Place bake on parchment paper to dry. Repeat with every cake pop. Allow to sit until candy hardens.
