Expert Tips

– You can make the cake pops on a stick (or popsicles). To do this, create a ball, and add the stick into the ball before dipping it in glaze and sprinkles.

– If you want to make the Ice Cream Cone Cake Pops for a large crowd, create a box to serve them in. Simply use a large sturdy box and make small holes to allow the cake pops to stand upright.

– Leave the sticks and ice cream cones, and serve these as cake pop truffles! Experiment with other cake mixes (like chocolate and vanilla).

Variations

– Drizzle melted chocolate over the glaze instead of adding rainbow sprinkles.

– As an alternative to glazing, use melted white chocolate, dark chocolate, or caramel.

– Use cream cheese frosting as a glaze. This will go especially well with a carrot cake mixture.

– Crumb chocolate sandwich cookies into the cake mixture.
