Enchanted Forest Cake Pops

Whimsical Enchanted Forest Cake Pops decorated with woodland-inspired designs, perfect for themed parties, birthdays, or magical celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chocolate frosting
  • 12 oz candy melts (green, brown, or desired forest colors)
  • Lollipop sticks
  • Sprinkles, edible glitter, or fondant decorations (toadstools, leaves, flowers)
  • Styrofoam block or cake pop stand

Instructions

  1. Bake the chocolate cake according to package or recipe instructions. Allow it to cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add chocolate frosting gradually and mix until the texture resembles moist dough.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Insert lollipop sticks into each ball by dipping the tip of the stick into melted candy and pressing it halfway into the cake ball.
  6. Freeze the cake balls for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
  7. Melt candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
  8. Dip each cake ball into the melted candy coating, gently tapping off excess.
  9. Decorate with sprinkles, edible glitter, or fondant forest-themed accents while the coating is still wet.
  10. Place cake pops upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand until set.

Notes

  • Make sure the cake balls are chilled but not frozen solid before dipping to prevent cracking.
  • Use different shades of candy melts for a magical woodland look.
  • Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
