  • 12 pieces Lollipop sticks
  • to taste Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Bake a cake according to the package instructions and let it cool completely.

  7. Dip the end of a lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into the center of a cake ball.
  8. Dip the entire cake ball into the melted candy, ensuring it is fully coated.
  9. Allow excess candy to drip off, then place the cake pop back on the baking sheet.

  11. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
  12. Once all cake pops are decorated, let them sit at room temperature until the coating hardens.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of cake and frosting to customize your cake pops.
