Easter Egg Cake Pops (Printable)

Delightful egg-shaped cake treats coated in chocolate and adorned with vibrant sprinkles.

# What You Need:

→ Cake Base

01 - 1 box (14 oz) vanilla or funfetti cake mix with required ingredients (eggs, oil, water)

→ Cream Cheese Frosting

02 - 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
03 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
04 - 1 2/3 cups powdered sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Coating & Decoration

06 - 14 oz white or pastel-colored candy melts
07 - 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for dipping consistency
08 - 1/2 cup assorted colorful sprinkles
09 - 24 cake pop or lollipop sticks

# Steps:

01 - Bake cake according to package or recipe instructions. Cool completely before proceeding.
02 - Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
03 - Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
04 - Gradually add frosting to cake crumbs, mixing until mixture holds together when pressed. Use only enough frosting to bind.
05 - Scoop approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of mixture and shape into egg-shaped ovals. Place on parchment-lined tray.
06 - Freeze shaped eggs for 30 minutes or until firm to the touch.
07 - Melt candy melts according to package directions, stirring in vegetable oil to achieve smooth dipping consistency.
08 - Dip one end of each stick into melted coating, then gently insert halfway into each cake egg.
09 - Dip each cake pop fully into melted coating, allowing excess to drip off and tap gently to remove drips.
10 - Immediately decorate with sprinkles while coating is still wet for proper adhesion.
11 - Stand cake pops upright in foam block or tall glass. Let coating harden fully before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These bring out the inner child in everyone who makes them
  • The cake and frosting ratio is already perfected so no dry crumbs
  • Kids can help with almost every step except the hot melting
02 -
  • Room temperature cake crumbs mix much more evenly than cold ones
  • If your cake balls keep falling off the sticks, the coating was too thick or the cake was too cold
  • Work quickly once the coating is melted because it thickens fast and gets harder to dip
03 -
  • Tap the stick gently against the bowl edge after dipping to remove excess coating
  • Have your sprinkles ready in small bowls before you start dipping
  • If a pop falls off its stick, let it harden then remelt the coating and try again
