I have found my new obsession- CAKE POPS! Who knew those tiny bite-sized cakes covered in candy could be so much fun and delicious? After searching on Pinterest and blogs, I think i have perfected the best way to make simple cake pops. I have outlined it below:

1. Make pops. I used a cake pop maker my husband got for christmas. It looks like a waffle maker, and can be purchased at your favorite big box retailer.
2. Melt candy. I used Wilton’s Candy Melts I bought at Wal-Mart. They melt down really nice and give that shiny smooth coating.
3. Dip stick. VERY important, it keeps the pop on the stick.
4. Stick in stick. Almost to the top of the pop.
5. Dip pop. Emerce it completely and tap on the side while rotating to make any extra drip off.
6. Sprinkle pop. Decorate with nonperils or your choice of cake decoration. Do this before the candy dries, or they won’t stick.
7. Stand pop. You can buy a Wilton Cake Pop stand at Wal-Mart, but I just punched holes in a cardboard box lid for mine.

That’s it! I would consider myself an amateur cake popper, but I think I did pretty good. Share your adventures in cake popping below!
