Best Pink Desserts (Perfect Cake Pops Recipe and More)
Ingredients
Vanilla Cake
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- other ingredients called for on the box including water/oil/eggs
Frosting
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 ¾ cups confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 teaspoons heavy cream or milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 36 ounces pink candy melts, I use Wilton brand, you can also use white chocolate with red food coloring
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- white sprinkles
Instructions
Make the Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a cake pan or baking dish.
- Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the package. Then pour it to the cake pan.
- Bake according to the instructions (30-35 minutes) or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (If the top browns too fast, you can cover the pan with aluminum foil.)
- Let the cake cool to room temperature on a wire rack.
Make the Frosting
- Add softened butter into a large bowl, and beat the butter with a handheld mixer on medium speed until creamy (about 2 minutes).
- While the mixer is running, add 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar. Mix until combined. Add heavy cream, vanila, cand the rest of confectioners’ sugar, a little a time.
- Increase the speed to high and beat for 3 more minutes.
Make Cake Balls
- Cut the brown edges off the cake, and add the cake into a large bowl. Crumble the cake using your hands. Make sure there are no large lumps. (Don’t make it too crumbly or it won’t hold together.)
- Add the frosting into the cake. Mix until everything’s combined. (Start with 1/2 of the frosting, gradually add more until you reach the perfect consistency.)
- Use an ice cream scoop and scoop out a full scoop of cake mixture (about 1 and a half tablespoons). Squeeze the mixture and roll it into a ball. Then place it onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat until all the cake mixture has been formed into balls.
- In a small microwave safe bowl, melt a few candy melts (2 – 4 ounces). Begin by heating for 30 seconds and then stirring. Repeat until all candy melts are melted.
- Dip the tip of the cake pop sticks into the melted candy melts. Then insert each stick into a call ball about half-way.
- Freeze for about 30 minutes.
Coat the Cake Balls
- Right before they are ready to be taken out of the freezer, melt the rest of the candy melts.
- Once melted, add vegetable oil. Mix well and pour it into a deep glass.
- Dip the cake ball into the coating until it’s completely covered. Gently tap the stick against the edge of the glass to allow excess coating to drop off.
- Decorate the top of the ball with white sprinkles and place upright into a box. Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
- Allow the coating to set for about 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
