# Directions:

06 - Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
07 - Crumble cooled cake into large bowl. Add frosting a spoonful at a time, mixing until mixture holds together but is not overly sticky.
08 - Roll cake mixture into oval, egg-shaped balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
09 - Freeze shaped cake balls for 15 minutes.
10 - Melt candy melts with vegetable oil in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These are the kind of treats that make people gasp when you walk into the room, which is honestly the best feeling
  • They look fancy and intricate but come together with simple ingredients you probably already have
02 -
  • Cold cake balls are absolutely essential or they will slide right off the sticks into the chocolate
  • Do not overload the pops with frosting or they become too heavy to hold their shape
03 -
  • Chill your cake pops after dipping rather than freezing them, which can cause cracks in the coating
  • Tap your wrist gently against the edge of the bowl to remove excess coating without shaking the pop off
