Instructions
Creating Ghost Cake Pops is a fun-filled experience. Follow these step-by-step instructions for a successful outcome:
1. Bake the Cake: Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions and bake it in a 9×13 inch pan. Allow it to cool completely.
2. Crumble the Cake: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a fork to break it down into fine crumbs.
3. Mix with Frosting: Add the frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to hold its shape when rolled into balls.
4. Shape Cake Balls: Scoop out portions of the cake mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill: Place the cake balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Melt Chocolate: While the cake balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
7. Insert Lollipop Sticks: Dip the end of a lollipop stick in melted chocolate and insert it about halfway into each cake ball. This helps the stick adhere better.
8. Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Chill Again: Once all the cake pops are coated, place them back in the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes to set the chocolate.
10. Decorate: Using black decorating gel or melted chocolate, draw eyes and mouths to create ghost faces on each cake pop. Feel free to add sprinkles for extra flair if desired.
These steps will guide you through creating Ghost Cake Pops that are both delicious and visually captivating.
