I originally shared a recipe for gluten-free cake pops in June 2011. I finally decided with Valentine’s Day approaching that I should write a new post and take better photos for the blog. I know I am not the best in decorating cake pops but I find once you serve them they do not last long.
HOW TO MAKE THE CAKE POPS:
- Place the cooked chocolate cake in a mixing bowl and use a fork to crumble it all up.
- Add the frosting and stir well.
- Use a small or large ice cream scoop to drop the balls onto a parchment lined small plate.
- Roll each ball with your hands.
- Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
- Melt candy wafers in the microwave.
- Dip each lollipop stick in the candy and stick in each cake pop and let set for 5 minutes.
- Roll each cake pop in the melted candy and place on the parchment to set.
- Melt more candy wafers, pour into a piping bag and decorate each cake pop and add sprinkles.
- Place in refrigerator to set.
Another fun version of these gluten-free cake pops would be to use a vanilla or lemon cake mix. Melt white candy wafers and then dip each cake pop in sprinkles. Cake pops may seem like something that is hard to make but truly its just: baking a cake, once cool using a fork to crumble it, adding in some chocolate frosting and mixing, then rolling into balls, inserting a lollipop stick and then finally rolling in melted candy wafers. That is it!
