Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 9-by-13-inch Chocolate Cake for Cupcake Pops
  • 2 cups Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting
  • 1 package chocolate coating bark
  • 1 package white coating bark or pink candy melts
  • Sprinkles, for garnish
  • Candy-coated chocolates, such as M&M’s, for garnish

Directions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Trim about 1/2 inch from the perimeter of the cake. Working in batches, crumble cake into the bowl of a food processor; process until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a large bowl and add frosting; blend together using the back of a spoon, until well combined, 5 to 10 minutes.

Roll mixture into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch balls; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Cover with parchment-paper-lined aluminum foil. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled, about 2 hours or to a freezer for about 10 minutes.

Begin to shape balls into cupcakes by rolling balls first into logs. Fit logs into a 1 1/4-by-3/4-inch flower-shaped cookie cutter. Push cake mixture into the cutter halfway so that some of the cake mixture extends beyond the top of the cutter. Shape extended cake mixture into a cupcake-shaped top. Push cake from cutter to remove. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Transfer to freezer until chilled, 5 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt chocolate in heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. Remove cupcakes from freezer and dip the bottom of each cupcake into the chocolate; transfer, bottom-side up, to prepared baking sheet. To make lollipops, insert a lollipop stick into the bottom of each cupcake. Let chocolate set, 15 to 20 minutes.

Melt white chocolate or pink candy melts in heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water. Dip the tops of the cupcakes into the chocolate and place right-side up on prepared baking sheet or stick lollipop sticks into a Styrofoam square. Place a candy-coated chocolate in the center of each and top with sprinkles. Let dry completely.

                Word of advice, add the buttlercream a little at a time, rather than using the entire 2 cups as indicated.  I only after having to rebake another cake, ended up using 1/2 cup, if that, of the frosting.

                Oh, these are just cake balls that have had the bottom part shaped through a cookie cutter!  I thought based on the name, they would actually be mini cupcakes, as chibbard suggested.  But then you run the risk of them becoming dry by not mixing the cake w/the frosting.  Personally though, I find cake balls way too sweet

                I love Martha, but I swear, the woman makes things far harder than they need to be.  These cupcakes are a good example.  While cute, there's no need to bake a cake and mix it up and blah blah blah.  Just bake chocolate mini cupcakes (in a mini muffin pan), then stick THAT on a stick and just dip the top of that in a pink-colored chocolate melt.  Top with sprinkles and an M

                Used this recipe at a cookie exchange during the holidays.  It was a big it.  I suggest putting in the cream cheese a bit at a time.  I didn't need that much, maybe my cake was lighter.

                (4) Thank god we made chocolate chip cookies for the bakesale too, so we have something to contribute. In  n  n  n  n  n  m so angry about all that money and my own energy that went into those awful cake pops. Am I being too harsh? No, not really. And I donn  n  n  n  n  n  t advise you to try and find out. I spent literally 8 hours making two batches, and by the end, I was nearly in tears of frustration.

                (3) Everyone thought they were made out of uncooked dough. That combined with the low quality chocolate. It gave us a stomachache. Perhaps with better, gourmet chocolate, the pops would be better. However it is totally not worth it.
                My mom even suggested they were the worst things she has ever eaten, and then offered to buy a birthday cake for my friend tomorrow morning so I would not have to give her these.

                (2) First, the process was way too time consuming. There are a lot of mistakes that are possible; if these at least tasted okay, I would think itn  n  n  n  n  n  s fine to learn as you make the pops again and learn from the past. But then theren  n  n  n  n  n  s the awful texture and taste. Sure, these look pretty enough. But when you actually eat them, it is like biting into something raw.

                (1) What a disappointment. These were a total waste of time and money, and I cann  n  n  n  n  n  t believe I spent so long on making them. 
                My friend and I made these for a bake sale, and I thought In  n  n  n  n  n  d make a separate batch for another friendn  n  n  n  n  n  s birthday while we were at it. I read all the positive reviews, so I thought theyn  n  n  n  n  n  d turn out okay. Now that I think about it, only a few people actually MADE the pops and commented while the rest were going on about how cute they looked without having tried the recipe

                I am an experienced baker and found these extremely fiddly. I got about 80 munchkin-sized balls. I did not like handling food that people were going to eat to this extent - rolling twice, stuffing into the cutter, etc. I ditched the cutter, re-rolled into balls and dipped one end into chocolate (add stick each time and not after they are all dipped because the chocolate hardens and cracks) and the other end into candy melts, added sprinkles and M

                ALERT: SO so EASY!  sounds fiddley..not really! Had some left over cake mix, and popped them onto the end of short skewers. I made 2 day (rolled cake   icing 2 days before and "iced" day before) before, but I'm sure they would freeze okay - given the EXTREME high sugar content. They turned out better than I expected, as I'm no baking queen

                Not sure why there are so many issues.  I made these one time, and never had an issue... seen here:  http://www.shealynnbenner.com/index.cfm/2008/5/22/Something-New#more ---  The picture doesn't show them on the sticks, but I assure you that they were put on sticks and then wrapped in treat bags for the kids at my daughter's party to take home as favors.  Everyone loved them, and I had none fall apart.  The only thing I want to figure out is how to replace the candy melt for the top of the pop with something else.  I can't stand the taste of that stuff!  LOL.  Maybe white chocolate with food coloring or something.

                I made these last noght so adorable.I used a cutter I got at Michaels a set for 2.99, sticks and bags all there too! I also used the candy melts from wilton. They came out fantastic and they are yummy! I recommend using a food processor to crumble cake, and add a lil frosting at a time until you get a dense consistency but still moldable. I would also dip the sticks in chocolate and then insert it keeps them more secure. I have one complaint and question read my other entry im going to run out

                I wanted to love these but I have to agree with KasiaKramer. While these are adorable the gooey mush center makes them really unappealing. Even my 5 year with a major sweet tooth rejected these. Too bad, with a different center these have the potential to be great.

                I made these this week for a mother's day tea this weekend.  They were a gooey mess...a yummy, gooey mess.  They took longer to freeze and get firm. I think that the icing may have been the problem...maybe its too much. Anyway, they're good but they don't quite look the way they should.  They're very good, but I had a few fall off the sticks, too. All in all, it's still a great idea, just needs some tweaking.

                I've always made cake balls with a German chocolate cake mix mixed with ready to spread coconut pecan frosting.  Just mix and roll into balls, then dip into the chocolate the same way she does.  Wilton's candy melts and/or almond bark work great.  Can't wait to try making these for a special occasion.

                Word of advice, add the buttlercream a little at a time, rather than using the entire 2 cups as indicated.  I only after having to rebake another cake, ended up using 1/2 cup, if that, of the frosting.

                These are absolutely adorable!  I wish I had of seen these last January when my grand-daughter turned one! We went all out for a cupcake birthday party. The capcake pops would have matched everything including the dress I made for her!

                Oh, these are just cake balls that have had the bottom part shaped through a cookie cutter!  I thought based on the name, they would actually be mini cupcakes, as chibbard suggested.  But then you run the risk of them becoming dry by not mixing the cake w/the frosting.  Personally though, I find cake balls way too sweet

                I love Martha, but I swear, the woman makes things far harder than they need to be.  These cupcakes are a good example.  While cute, there's no need to bake a cake and mix it up and blah blah blah.  Just bake chocolate mini cupcakes (in a mini muffin pan), then stick THAT on a stick and just dip the top of that in a pink-colored chocolate melt.  Top with sprinkles and an M

                Ok, I absolutely LOVE these!! I want to make these for my daughter's bday party but I just tried making them and it didnt go very well. You make it look so easy! I dont know what I did wrong but the cake mixture was pretty moist and even after chilling it, it was difficult to shape with the cookie cutter. Any suggestions?

                (4) Thank god we made chocolate chip cookies for the bakesale too, so we have something to contribute. In  n  n  n  n  n  m so angry about all that money and my own energy that went into those awful cake pops. Am I being too harsh? No, not really. And I donn  n  n  n  n  n  t advise you to try and find out. I spent literally 8 hours making two batches, and by the end, I was nearly in tears of frustration. 
                In  n  n  n  n  n  m never trusting recipes from the internet again! From now on, In  n  n  n  n  n  m sticking with cookbooks.  


                    
                (3) Everyone thought they were made out of uncooked dough. That combined with the low quality chocolate. It gave us a stomachache. Perhaps with better, gourmet chocolate, the pops would be better. However it is totally not worth it.
                My mom even suggested they were the worst things she has ever eaten, and then offered to buy a birthday cake for my friend tomorrow morning so I would not have to give her these.  


                    
                (2) First, the process was way too time consuming. There are a lot of mistakes that are possible; if these at least tasted okay, I would think itn  n  n  n  n  n  s fine to learn as you make the pops again and learn from the past. But then theren  n  n  n  n  n  s the awful texture and taste. Sure, these look pretty enough. But when you actually eat them, it is like biting into something raw.  


                    
                (1) What a disappointment. These were a total waste of time and money, and I cann  n  n  n  n  n  t believe I spent so long on making them. 
                My friend and I made these for a bake sale, and I thought In  n  n  n  n  n  d make a separate batch for another friendn  n  n  n  n  n  s birthday while we were at it. I read all the positive reviews, so I thought theyn  n  n  n  n  n  d turn out okay. Now that I think about it, only a few people actually MADE the pops and commented while the rest were going on about how cute they looked without having tried the recipe

                I am an experienced baker and found these extremely fiddly. I got about 80 munchkin-sized balls. I did not like handling food that people were going to eat to this extent - rolling twice, stuffing into the cutter, etc. I ditched the cutter, re-rolled into balls and dipped one end into chocolate (add stick each time and not after they are all dipped because the chocolate hardens and cracks) and the other end into candy melts, added sprinkles and M

                ALERT: SO so EASY!  sounds fiddley..not really! Had some left over cake mix, and popped them onto the end of short skewers. I made 2 day (rolled cake   icing 2 days before and "iced" day before) before, but I'm sure they would freeze okay - given the EXTREME high sugar content. They turned out better than I expected, as I'm no baking queen

                Not sure why there are so many issues.  I made these one time, and never had an issue... seen here:  http://www.shealynnbenner.com/index.cfm/2008/5/22/Something-New#more ---  The picture doesn't show them on the sticks, but I assure you that they were put on sticks and then wrapped in treat bags for the kids at my daughter's party to take home as favors.  Everyone loved them, and I had none fall apart.  The only thing I want to figure out is how to replace the candy melt for the top of the pop with something else.  I can't stand the taste of that stuff!  LOL.  Maybe white chocolate with food coloring or something.

                I made these last noght so adorable.I used a cutter I got at Michaels a set for 2.99, sticks and bags all there too! I also used the candy melts from wilton. They came out fantastic and they are yummy! I recommend using a food processor to crumble cake, and add a lil frosting at a time until you get a dense consistency but still moldable. I would also dip the sticks in chocolate and then insert it keeps them more secure. I have one complaint and question read my other entry im going to run out

                I wanted to love these but I have to agree with KasiaKramer. While these are adorable the gooey mush center makes them really unappealing. Even my 5 year with a major sweet tooth rejected these. Too bad, with a different center these have the potential to be great.

                I made these this week for a mother's day tea this weekend.  They were a gooey mess...a yummy, gooey mess.  They took longer to freeze and get firm. I think that the icing may have been the problem...maybe its too much. Anyway, they're good but they don't quite look the way they should.  They're very good, but I had a few fall off the sticks, too. All in all, it's still a great idea, just needs some tweaking.

                I've always made cake balls with a German chocolate cake mix mixed with ready to spread coconut pecan frosting.  Just mix and roll into balls, then dip into the chocolate the same way she does.  Wilton's candy melts and/or almond bark work great.  Can't wait to try making these for a special occasion.  


                    
                pinklyfe-you can buy an alphabet chocolate mold in a candy store. Then you melt chocolate, add it to mold, refrigerate and they pop right out!
