Use these HACKS for perfect CAKE POPS! Easy cake pop recipe

Cake pops are the most delightful little treats, and are so so delicious! They're basically cake mixed with frosting, which is then rolled into little balls and coated with chocolate - YUM! Cake pops can seem intimidating at first, but I promise you they are one of the easiest things to make once you get a hang of it! In this video I'll be sharing all my tips and tricks to get perfect cake pops.

INGREDIENTS:

Cake
- 1 box vanilla or white cake mix that makes one 8 inch/20cm cake OR your favourite vanilla/white cake recipe. - + ingredients required to make the boxed cake (usually butter or oil, eggs and milk)
- ¼ cup (52g) unflavoured vegetable oil - I use canola

Frosting (see note 1 on blog post)
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter - room temperature
- 1 cup (120 g) icing sugar - also known as confectioners/powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence/extract
- 1 tsp milk

Additional Ingredients/Supplies
- 3½ cups chocolate/candy melts - either dark, milk or white chocolate, or a combination (I like to use half dark and half white) - see note 2
- 40 cake pop sticks
- 1 pack sprinkles - or any other decoration of your choice

Hey MK thanks so much for this tip. I’m a small business baker and though I’ve been baking for a long time cake pops have always freaked me out but a good friend asked me to make some for her moms birthday so I said yes and I fell much better after having watched your video😊🎉. Thanks for always breaking the myths that have been created by the baking industry. I’ve learned a lot from you🙏🏻
