How To Make StarBucks Cake Pops ?
01. Create Cake Pop Dough
Following all instructions on Cake mix box. Once cooked and cooled, trim bottom, sides & top of cake. Then using your hands or a mixer completely crumble cake. Once cake is crumbled add 1 tbsp of vanilla icing or buttercream. Once added using your hand or mixer stand form dough until it feels similar to play dough.
02. Creating Cake Pops
Melt the chocolate and set aside. Form a 1-inch ball using your hands or a cookie scoop. After the ball is created, dip the cake pop stick partially into the chocolate and then back into the cake pop ball. Next, using a cake pop stand or foam, set aside to dry for about 5 minutes. This will lessen the chance of the cake pop sliding off the stick.
03. Dipping Cake Pops
Remelt Chocolate for approximately 15 seconds. You may melt more if necessary. Dip the cake pop into chocolate, then gently shake any excess off. After dipping place on stand or foam. Repeat this step as needed.
04. Adding Sprinkles To Cake Pops
Immediately after dipping place cake pop on stand or foam and add sprinkles. Sprinkles must be added while chocolate is still wet. Before consuming, allow Cake Pops to dry for about ten minutes.
Now You and your kids may enjoy all the scrumptious StarBucks cake pops you could ever want at home!!
