Delicious Cake Pop Icing Recipe From Scratch
So, What Are Cake Pops?
Cake pops are bite-sized pieces of cake that are formed into balls, then coated with icing or chocolate. They are usually served on sticks, making them a great treat for parties and special occasions. They’re also a great way to use up leftover cake, as you can easily mash it up and form it into balls. Cake pops are usually made with a cake mix, but you can also make them from scratch, which is what this recipe is for.
Ingredients for Cake Pop Icing
To make this cake pop icing from scratch, you’ll need:
- 1 cup of butter, room temperature
- 2 cups of powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Food coloring (optional)
Instructions for Making Cake Pop Icing
Making this icing is very easy, and it only takes a few minutes. You’ll start by creaming together the butter and powdered sugar. Use an electric mixer for best results. Once the ingredients are combined, add the milk, vanilla extract, and food coloring, if desired. Mix everything together until the icing is smooth and creamy.
Once the icing is ready, it’s time to dip the cake pops. Place the cake pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Take one cake pop at a time, and dip it into the icing. Make sure to cover the entire cake pop with icing. Place the cake pop back onto the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining cake pops.
Once all the cake pops have been dipped, you can add decorations, if desired. Sprinkles, chopped nuts, and mini chocolate chips are all great choices. Simply sprinkle the decorations onto the cake pops while the icing is still wet.
Allow the icing to set before serving. You can speed up this process by placing the cake pops in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
