Cake Pops -By Kami

Cake Pops  (Our new favorite way to eat cake)

1 cake mix, mixed and baked as directed, cooled completely...(I usually make with cake extender)
3/4 can vanilla frosting (or make your own it's better)
High quality melting chocolate, melting chips or choc. chips
Sprinkles

In a large bowl crumble the cake mix into very fine pieces.  Stir in 3/4 can of frosting until well mixed (will be sticky).  Scoop out batter using a cookies scoop into your hands and roll into a 1" ball.  Place on a lined cookie sheet (waxed paper) and insert a sucker stick.  Cover and Freeze.


Melt chocolate/coating into a glass bowl.  Take 3-5 pops out of the freezer at a time and quickly dip in chocolate and shake with sprinkles.  Place in a styrafoam square to dry so they look pretty.  Repeat.  These are so fun and easy to make.  You can mix and match cake/coating flavors to your taste.  Our favorite is chocolate cake with vanilla coating.  I am making and packaging 200 for a wedding next week!  Wish me luck!!!! 
My kids (and the neighbor kids) love them...they are so fun to eat and the possibilities for flavoring/decorating them are endless!


They are also great for favors/gifts.  The one pictured on the right was made for my daughters dance teammates to wish them luck before a dance competition.  They are darling
boxed up as a boquet too!  Have fun!
