Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix prepared according to package instructions
  • 1 cup vanilla frosting store-bought or homemade
  • 16 oz candy melts or colored chocolate for coating and decorating
  • 12 pieces lollipop sticks
  • optional edible markers or small decorating tips for detailed eyeball features

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Stand mixer or hand mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooling rack
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Small paintbrush or piping bag
  • Candy melts or colored chocolate
  • Food coloring
  • Small decorating tips or edible markers

Method
 

  1. Crumble the baked vanilla cake into a large mixing bowl, breaking it apart until fine crumbs form.
  2. Mix in the vanilla frosting thoroughly until the mixture becomes dough-like and holds together when pressed.
  3. Bake a batch of vanilla cake, then allow it to cool completely on a cooling rack.
  4. Once cooled, crumble the cake into smaller pieces and mix it into the dough in the bowl.
  5. Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball about halfway through, pressing gently so it stays secure.
  7. Freeze the cake pops for at least 30 minutes until firm, making them easier to coat.
  8. Melt the candy melts or colored chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth and shiny.
  9. Dip each cake pop into the melted coating, turning to cover completely, then gently tap off excess coating.
  10. Position the coated cake pop upright to set, and before the coating hardens, add small dots for the irises and veins using colored icing or edible markers.
  11. Allow the decorated cake pops to cool and dry completely until the coating is firm and shiny.
  12. Serve your creepy, colorful eyeball cake pops on a platter for a fun and spooky Halloween treat.

Notes

Use bright food colors for a more striking spooky look. Handle the decorating carefully to create detailed eyeball features.
