These are so delicious and easy!! I’ve tried strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, yum! My favorite is Devils Food chocolate cake, and using equal chocolate frosting and Nutella:). Tastes like a truffle!!! And I use chocolate bark to cover. My oh my!!!

oh my goodness! So delicious. I have never made cake pops before, but these turned out beautiful. i did a combo of yellow cake with a chocolate chip covering and heart sprinkles for Vt day, and everyone loved them. FYI, if you don't own a food processor, you can just mash the cake with a fork. I did have to add a 1\2 cup more frosting though, because i couldn't form them into balls but other then that, i will definitely be making these again. thx for recipe

I have made cake pops before and sadly, this is the worst receipe I have ever used. The consistency of the cake is just disgusting. It has been a few years since I last made cake pops and I was in a hurry so I didn't do my homework and look at other receipes. Other recipes use a fraction of the frosting. The amount of frosting that this receipe calls for makes the "dough" the consistency of something that has already been chewed and spit out. I thought maybe the "dough" would be better after freezing the balls. After the balls were semi frozen, they were still gross. Then I thought maybe the chocolate coating will save the day. But even after the chocalte coating, the balls were still terrible. They looked pretty, but the texture and taste was simply foul. If I could give this receipe zero stars I would. After this baking failure, I read up on cake pops from etablised and respected bakers. It seems that the proper amount of frosting is about 1-2 tablespoons.

These are so good. We made these for a baby shower we were hosting and it was so much better then a whole cake. We made vanilla, chocolate and lemon ones. thanks so much for this wonderful version of cake.

Wow oh wow! My daughter makes these so when I found this recipe I had to give it a try. I used chocolate cake mix and frosting and then just the chocolate melts sprinkled with color shots. Messy and they do fall apart some but like my daughters, oh so good!! Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2014.
