Method
Step 1: Bake the Cake
- Prepare the pumpkin spice cake according to package instructions or your homemade recipe.
- Let the cake cool completely before proceeding.
Step 2: Crumble the Cake
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
- Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3: Mix with Frosting
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs.
- Mix until the texture resembles dough and holds together when pressed.
Step 4: Shape the Cake Balls
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- If making cake pops, dip the end of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate and insert it into the center of each ball.
Step 5: Chill the Cake Balls
- Place the cake balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Freeze for about 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 6: Melt the Chocolate
- Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Add coconut oil for a smoother coating if desired.
Step 7: Dip the Cake Pops
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and stand the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or lay them flat on wax paper.
Step 8: Decorate
- Before the coating hardens, sprinkle decorations like festive sprinkles, edible glitter, or crushed nuts on the cake pops.
Step 9: Set and Serve
- Allow the cake pops to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Serve and enjoy these delightful treats!
