A cake pop is a form of cake styled as a lollipop. Cake crumbs are mixed with icing or chocolate, and formed into small spheres or cubes in the same way as cake balls, before being given a coating of icing, chocolate or other decorations and attached to lollipop sticks.Cake pops can be a way of using up leftover cake or cake crumbs.
The cake pop increased in popularity between 2009 and 2011.A book called "Cake Pop" by Bakerella appeared on the New York Times bestseller list.[when?].Cake pops can be found in many bakeries and grocery stores. In some countries, the Starbucks coffee chain sells cake pops in various flavors.

Cake pops use many of the ingredients used in baking a traditional cake and can be made from cakes of any flavor. Many recipes found online use a cake mix instead of creating a cake batter from scratch. Either way, cake pops and cakes have their similarities.
Once the cake has been baked, or when leftovers from an existing cake have been collected, it is crumbled into pieces. These crumbs are mixed into a bowl of frosting or melted chocolate, and the resulting mixture is shaped into balls, cubes or other shapes. Each ball is attached to a lollipop stick. Once the mixture solidifies, it can be decorated with frosting or melted chocolate and sprinkles. The cake balls can be frozen to speed the solidification process.
Most of the time making a cake pop is spent on shaping the cake into a desirable form and decorating it. Simple shapes such as spheres can be molded by hands, but complex shapes require tools. Silicone molding pan and cookie cutters are popular tools used in shaping cake pops.
Your Favorite Cake Pop Filling Recipe
Pink Candy Coating
Parmount Crystals
4.5″ Sucker Sticks
Piping Gel
Paintbrush
Pink Gingham Ribbon
1 3/8″ Scooper
Bright Pink Sanding Sugar
2 – 1/2 Sheet Trays Covered in Parchment
STEP 1: SHAPE CAKE POP BALLS
Chill your cake pop mixture for at least 15 minutes or until it is firm. Then, use the small scooper to scoop a level portion of filling into your hand.
Roll the portion in your hands to create a symmetrical ball and place it on one of the parchment covered trays. Repeat with the remaining filling until you have 15 balls.
Next, cut 5 of the balls evenly in half.
Roll these half portions into symmetrical balls as well. When you are done you will have 10 large balls and 10 small. Place the tray in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up, but no longer or your cake pops will have a tendency to crack.
STEP 2: COAT THE POPS
In a microwaveable cup, deep enough to dunk the cake pops, melt the pink candy coating on half power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between each interval. Once the coating is almost melted, remove and continue to stir until completely melted (do not overheat the coating).
Next stir in a pinch or two or paramount crystals until the coating is thinner and more fluid. (This is an essential step to make the coating thinner. I find that skipping the paramount crystals results in gloppy, heavily coated cake pops…ugh.)
Before dipping, make sure your coating is cooled and not hot to the touch. After 15 minutes, remove the balls from the freezer. Dip the end of a sucker stick in some coating and gently insert it half way into a large cake ball. Wipe away any drips, if necessary.
Then, dunk the entire ball in coating and very gently tap it on the edge of the cup to remove any excess. Place the pop on the tray and repeat with the rest of the large cake balls.
Place the coated pops in the fridge for 10 minutes to set and place the remaining small cake pop balls back in the freezer to set up as well (by this time they are probably a little too soft and this will firm them up again).
After 10 minutes, remove both trays and repeat the whole process using the small balls, but instead placing them on the opposite end of the sucker stick. Again, place the pops in the fridge for 10 minutes to harden.
