Gender Reveal Cake Pops are a cute, family friendly dessert treat. The cake pops are covered in a white candy coating and decorated with pink & blue sprinkles. The inside cake color is the gender reveal surprise.
Having a baby is always an exciting time. Family is constantly asking or wondering if you are having a girl or a boy. Instead of just telling them, you can announce the sex of your baby in a fun way with Gender Reveal Cake Pops. The cake pops are covered in a white candy coating and decorated with pink & blue sprinkles. When your family and friends bite into one of the Gender Reveal Cake Pops, the inside will be either pink or blue cake to reveal the sex of your baby.
If you don’t know what cake pops are, they are basically cake balls covered in a candy coating and served on sticks. To make Gender Reveal Cake Pops, you need to bake a pink or blue cake and allow it to cool. Then you crumble the cake into fine crumbs and add in frosting. Form the mixture into balls and place in the fridge to chill for an hour. Then dip a lollipop stick into the melted wafers and insert it into the cake ball. Each ball gets fully dipped into the melted wafers. Before the candy coating hardens, decorate with pink and blue sprinkles. The Gender Reveal Pops are a fun, kid friendly dessert that is perfect for a gender reveal party.
- 16.5 oz box of pink velvet or blue velvet cake mix
- ¾ of a 16 oz. container of vanilla frosting
- 32 oz. bag of white melting wafers
- Wilton Candy Melts EZ Thin Dipping Aid, shortening or oil for thinning
- 30 lollipop sticks
- Pink and blue round sprinkles
- Bake a 9x13 cake according to package directions. Allow cake to cool completely.
- In a bowl, crumble cake into fine crumbs and mix in about ¾ of the container of frosting.
- Form cake mixture into 1½ inch balls. Place balls covered in the fridge for an hour or more.
- Melt white wafers in the microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals. Stirring after each interval until melted. If mixture is thick, thin by using Wilton Candy Melts EZ Thin Dipping Aid, or mixing in 1 tsp. shortening or oil at a time until desired thinness.
- Remove several cake balls from the fridge at a time.
- Dip ½ inch of a lollipop stick into the melted wafers and insert it almost half way into a cake ball. Allow the cake pop to rest for 30 seconds or a minute to let the melted wafers harden onto the stick.
- Dip the cake ball fully into the melted wafers while holding onto the stick.
- After dipping, gently tap and rotate the stick to remove the excess candy coating.
- Sprinkle pink and blue sprinkles onto the cake pop before the candy coating hardens.
