Tips for making cake pops for Valentine’s Day:

First, a few tips. If you have never made these before, grab more chocolate than you think you need. Better to have more than run out mid baking session.

I use the Wilton Chocolate Dipping spoon. This helps drain the chocolate off the balls and use less chocolate.

We use baking chocolate but you can also use wilton candy melts.

Make sure to work quickly when topping the sprinkles on these cake balls. They will need to be added to the chocolate before it hardens.

How to shape cake pops?

I also recommend a cookie scoop. You can easily make these into balls that are uniform and it’s so easy.

Supplies Needed:

Here are the kitchen supplies that you’ll need to make this easy cake ball recipe.

• Large Mixing Bowl – To combine the cake and frosting together in.
• Cake Pan – To prepare and bake the cake in.
• Small Mixing Bowls – To melt the chocolate in for dipping the cake balls.
• Baking Sheets – To place the cake balls on while they cool.

Valentines day cake balls ingredients:

• Cake mix and ingredients to make cake (usually water, egg and oil)
• Frosting of your choice (You can use a homemade Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.)
• White Baking Chocolate 
• Dark Baking Chocolate 
• Valentine Sprinkles 

How to make valentines day cake pops:

Bake cake according to package directions and cool completely at room temperature.

Slice cake into small pieces and place into a large bowl.

Break apart large pieces of the cake with a spoon. Add about ¾ tub of frosting and mix well.

You may need to use your hands for this step. If mixture seems dry and won’t shape into a balls, add more frosting.

Remove the mixture from the bowl and roll into balls. A cookie scoop is the easiest way, just make sure you roll the balls smooth with the palms of your hand.

Roll the cake mixture into balls and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to remove all the cake batter to form them into cake balls. Place onto prepared pan and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat chocolate by breaking it apart and placing it into a bowl.

Heat for 2 minutes on 50% power in a microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Dip cake bites into melted chocolate. I like to place mine upside down and then flip them over to coat them and remove them.

Place onto another baking sheet lined with wax paper, parchment paper or sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Sprinkle with valentine sprinkles and refrigerate until the chocolate firms up (approximately 10 – 15 minutes).

How to store these cake pops:

Store cake pops in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also easily freeze these cake pops in a freezer bag or container for up to 4-5 months.

Variation Ideas:

• Change up the cake mix. I used a strawberry cake mix but you can easily use your favorite flavor of cake for this recipe. White Cake Mix, Chocolate and Red Velvet would all be delicious in this simple recipe.

• Use cream cheese instead of frosting. I used a buttercream frosting that I dyed pink for this recipe but it would work great with cream cheese frosting or just cream cheese as well to change up the flavor.

• Use your favorite type of chocolate. I like to use both white chocolate and milk chocolate for coating these cake balls. This gives a great variety of flavors when serving this easy dessert recipe. However, you can easily use your favorite or use a color candy coating as well.
