Baker and blogger, Angie Dudley, also known as Bakerella, popularized cake pops in 2008 with her bite-sized cake balls on sticks, decorated like whimsical characters.  She adapted the concept from cake balls by adding sticks for portability and fun.  

Here are the ingredients you will need:

– 1 box of vanilla or chocolate cake mix

– ½ cup Colombian dulce de leche or Nutella  

– 2–3 tbsp milk or heavy cream 

For Coating: 

– 12 oz  melting chocolate 

– 1 tsp coconut oil 

– Sprinkles, shredded coconut, or  

– Lollipop sticks

Once you have your ingredients gathered, here’s an overview of the cake pop process:

-Make a 1-layer vanilla cake and let cool.

-Using either Nutella or dulce de leche, crumble cake into a mixture.

-Roll the mixture into balls.

-Dip in melted chocolate coating (food coloring added is a great option).

-Top with sprinkles and let dry.

-EAT!
