How to Make Red Velvet Cake Pops 4Th Of July

  1. Gather your supplies: 50 paper lollipop sticks and a styrofoam block for drying.
  2. Bake a box of your favorite red velvet cake mix according to package directions.
  3. Let the cake cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.
  4. Add 1 cup of cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until all the cake is moist and well combined.
  5. Refrigerate the cake mixture for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, until firm enough to roll into balls.
  6. Roll the cake mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate the cake balls for another hour to firm up.
  8. Melt 12 ounces of white candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely smooth. Do not overheat.
  9. Insert a lollipop stick about halfway into each cake ball.
  10. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, ensuring the candy coating covers the bottom half of the stick. Gently tap off any excess.
  11. Immediately sprinkle with your favorite red, white, and blue sprinkles.
  12. Stand the cake pops upright in the styrofoam block to set completely. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  13. (Optional) Substitute different cake flavors (yellow, chocolate), frostings, and candy coatings for different flavor combinations. Consider using red candy melts for a more intensely colored pop.
