Ingredients
Scale
For the Cake Pops:
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor, baked according to package instructions)
- 1/3 cup frosting (vanilla or cream cheese works best)
For the Decoration:
- 2 cups yellow candy melts
- 1/4 cup black candy melts or black icing
- 1/4 cup white candy melts (for wings)
- Edible candy eyes
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Crumbs:
- Bake the cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Mix the Cake Pop Dough:
- Add the frosting to the cake crumbs, a little at a time, and mix until the dough holds together when pressed but is not sticky.
- Shape the Cake Pops:
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours or freeze for 20–30 minutes.
- Melt the Candy Coating:
- Melt the yellow candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Insert the Sticks:
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted yellow candy and insert it halfway into each cake ball. Allow the coating to set for a few minutes.
- Coat the Cake Pops:
- Dip each cake pop into the yellow candy melts, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off the excess and place them upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to dry.
- Decorate the Bee Pops:
- Use melted black candy melts or black icing to pipe stripes around the cake pops for the bee body. Attach candy eyes with a small dab of melted candy.
- For wings, pipe small ovals of white candy melts onto parchment paper, let them harden, and attach them to the top of the cake pops using melted candy melts.
- Serve:
- Once all decorations are set, arrange the bee cake pops in a stand or a decorative display. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- For additional details, use a food-safe marker to draw smiles or antennae.
- If the candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to thin them out.
