Cake Pops

Submitted and Demonstrated by Brooke Butler

1 Box of your favorite Cake Mix

1 Tub of your favorite Frosting

1 Brick of your favorite Candy Coating 

Any kind of sprinkles, or candy for decorating

Sucker/Candy sticks 

1. Bake the cake according to the directions on the box.  
2. Once the cake is out of the oven and still hot, scoop it into a big bowl and add the frosting.  Since the cake is warm, it will help to soften the frosting.  
3. Once its well mixed, roll into bite sized balls, place them on a jelly roll pan and then freeze them for a bit.  Then, take them out of the freezer and dip the sticks only into the candy coating and then quickly stick it in the cake ball.  
4. Then freeze for another little bit.  Once hardened, hold the cake ball by the stick over warm candy coating and spoon the coating over the cake ball (if you swirl it in the pan the ball will fall off). 
5. Quickly add any candy or sprinkles before it hardens and freeze again.  Then enjoy!
