Hey party peeps!
Who doesn’t love CAKE POPS! They are all the rage and are becoming staples on all my Sweets Bars! My girls LOVE them (Even my 9 year old who doesn’t even like cake!) When designing this month’s “Doodle Party” for HWTM’s Look for Less post, I wanted to come up with an interactive activity for kids to do around cake pops! I already designed a “Sprinkles” Cupcake Decorating Bar, so why not a “Sprinkles” Cake Pop Decorating Bar! YEAH!
Dust off that fondue pot! It’s time to get those cake pops dippin! The girls LOVED this activity and it was SUPER EASY…just 5 EASY STEPS: BAKE—STICK—MELT—DIP—SPRINKLE!
STEP #1: BAKE
Bake your own cake balls with a cake pop maker. (I used my Babycakes one that I got from Kohl’s)
TIP: You can also buy these from your cake pop baker. Just ask for plain, uncoated cake pops.
STEP #2: STICKS
When they are done, insert dessert sticks into the middle of each one being careful not to go all the way through.
TIP: For this “Doodle Party” I used crazy straws to hold them to pull in the doodle theme. Get creative and use any type of food-safe stick or embelish the sticks with pipe cleaners or ribbon that come in all kinds of cool colors to match your party’s theme.
STEP #3: MELT
Melt down the candy melts on the stove according to the package directions. I get candy melts from Michaels and always use a 40% off coupon to make it extra budget-friendly! When they are fully melted, place the melts in the mini crock pot or fondue pot.
STEP #4: DIP
Let the girls dip the plain cake pops into the fondue or crock pot to fully cover the balls. Make sure they have a small plate on hand to catch the drips.
STEP #5: SPRINKLE
Now time for the fun part! Put all kinds of fun sprinkles out in containers for the kids to decorate their cake pops.
Super easy and so yummy! Try this at your next party and then send me pics so I can post them up 😉
