Making Easter cake pops is a fun activity for kids of all ages. Once you've baked the cake, get your little helpers involved with decorating the cake pops. Easter cake pops are a fun, tasty alternative to decorating Easter eggs that are just as festive.

Tips for making Easter Cake Pops

Use a boxed cake mix or make a cake from scratch. Any flavor works.

Add some gel food coloring to the white candy coating to make your Easter cake pops look like festive Easter eggs.

Any flavored frosting works in this recipe. Use homemade or store-bought.

If your cake pops become too soft while dipping them in the candy coating, put them in the freezer until they harden.

How to Store Easter Cake Pops

Keep your cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

How to Freeze Easter Cake Pops

Easter cake pops can be frozen for up to 3 months. Defrost them overnight in the fridge and let them come to room temperature before serving.

How to Make Easter Cake Pops

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make and bake the cake according to the directions on the box. Remove the baking tray from the oven and let it cool.

Crumble the cake into a large bowl until you get fine crumbs.

In another bowl, mix well the frosting.

Mix 2/3 of the frosting into the cake crumbs until the mixture can be shaped.

Scoop one tablespoon of the cake mixture into your hand.

Roll it into a 1-inch oval so it resembles an egg.

Set the oval onto a dish. Repeat with the remaining cake mixture. Put the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.

Melt the candy coat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Take two glasses: pour melted candy coat into both and color one with pink food coloring. Dip each cake pop stick into the candy melt. Skewer each cake egg with a cake pop stick.

Once the candy coating has set, dip a cake egg into the candy coating.

Let excess drip off the cake pop. Set in a cake pop holder to set.

Repeat by dipping cake pop also in the pink frosting glass.

Immediately decorate the cake pops with sprinkles and candies.

Leave the coating to dry, then serve.
