Wilton Candy Melts EZ Thin Dipping Aid, shortening or oil for thinning
8 oz. bag or smaller of green melting wafers
30 lollipop sticks
Instructions
Cake Pops
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 and form into oblong shapes. Place balls covered in the fridge for an hour or more.
Rose Cake Pops Decoration
Melt red 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. Allow candy coating to harden.
Melt green wafers in the microwave on 50% power for 30 second intervals. Stirring after each interval until melted.
Using a decorating bag or toothpick, draw leaves with melted green wafers onto wax paper and allow to harden, or draw leaves directly onto the cake pops. Cover the bottom of the cake pops with the melted green wafers and attach the leaves off the wax paper onto the cake pops.
