Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432g)
  • Ingredients called for on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tablespoons milk or heavy cream
  • 20 oz (567g) candy melts in colors (red, blue, green, black, or others)
  • 20–25 lollipop sticks
  • Edible black food marker or black royal icing for numbering
  • Optional sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake mix according to the box instructions, using a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan. Bake for 28-32 minutes at 350°F (175°C) or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack (about 45 minutes).
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using a food processor or hands until texture is like coarse sand.
  3. Beat softened butter with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk or heavy cream until smooth and fluffy. Adjust milk to get a spreadable consistency.
  4. Gradually add frosting to cake crumbs, mixing gently until mixture holds together like dough (about 3-4 tablespoons frosting).
  5. Pinch off small portions (about 1 inch / 2.5 cm cubes) and shape into dice. Place on parchment-lined tray.
  6. Refrigerate shaped dice for 30-45 minutes to firm up.
  7. Melt candy melts in microwave-safe bowls in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Keep warm.
  8. Dip tip of lollipop stick about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) into melted candy, then insert halfway into a dice. Let set for 10 minutes.
  9. Dip each dice into melted candy until fully coated. Tap off excess and place upright in styrofoam block or stand to dry completely (15-20 minutes).
  10. Decorate dice with edible food markers or pipe small dots/numbers using royal icing. Let decorations dry fully before handling.

Notes

Keep cake-frosting mixture firm but not too sticky. Chill cake balls thoroughly before dipping to maintain shape. Use candy melts instead of chocolate for smooth coating. Warm candy melts gently if thickened. Store cake pops upright to prevent smudging. Can customize flavors and colors to match themes. For gluten-free or vegan, use appropriate cake mix and dairy-free alternatives.
