Bee Cake Pops Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 1 box White Cake Mix

  *prepared
• 1/3 cup Frosting
• 2 tbsp Honey

  (optional)
• 1 pkg Yellow Candy Melts
• 1 Cake Decorating Gel Icing – Black
• 1/4 cup Sliced Almonds

Instructions

• 1 Prepare the cake mix according to the directions on the box. You will likely
  need, eggs, oil, water etc. They are not included in this ingredient list
  because the needed items will vary depending on the cake mix you choose.
  
  Bake in 13 x 9 pan in oven. Remove and let cool completely.
• 2 Using clean hands, crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/3 cup
  of frosting, and the 2 tablespoons of honey (if desired). Use your hands to
  combine all of the ingredients.
  
  You will have to adjust the amount of frosting until you get the consistency
  desired. The mixture should not be soggy but it should hold together when
  squeezed in your hand.
• 3 Form the batter into small round balls. Two tablespoons is usually a good size.
  Do not make them too big or it will be more difficult to keep them on the
  sticks!
  
  Place the balls into the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Don't leave them too long –
  they should not freeze.
• 4 Melt a small amount of the candy coating in a dish. Remove the balls from the
  freezer and start a small hole in each one.
  
  Dip one end of the stick into the melted candy and quickly insert it into the
  started hole until it is about 3/4 of the way through the cake pop.
  
  Place cake pops back in freezer for another 20-30 minutes.
• 5 Melt the remaining pieces of candy melts in the microwave using 30 second
  intervals until melting. Keep stirring and be careful to not scorch it.
  
  Remove balls from freezer and either – dip the bee cake pop head into the melt –
  or- use the spoon method – dipping up candy coating and let it flow across the
  pop.
• 6 One the cake mixture is covered with coating, place the stick handle in a piece
  of Styrofoam (or a cup filled with rice) to let the coating set.
• 7 Once the coating is set. Use a cake decorating gel tube to give your bee cake
  pop eyes and a couple of stripes. Gel is messy – you might consider small strips
  of black fondant for the stripes if you want to get fancy.
• 8 As a last step, give these worker bees some wings. Insert 2 pieces of sliced
  almonds in the candy shell of each bee cake pop.
