Ingredients
Directions
- Crumble the remnants of your Halloween cake until they form a fine, uniform mixture.
- Prepare your buttercream frosting and set it aside for assembling the treats.
- Form small pumpkin shapes using the cake mixture, then attach tiny licorice strips to craft expressive faces for your Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pops.
- Submerge the chilled cake balls in dark candy coating. Once set, affix candy eyes and licorice legs, then use white candy melts to pipe delicate spiderwebs for your Creepy Crawlies.
- Dip a cake pop in candy coating, then use a toothpick to drag and pull the surface to create a shaggy, textured look for the Hungry Like the (Were)wolf treat.
- Dip cake balls in white chocolate or candy melts, then use a fine piping tip to draw bandage wrappings for your MMM-Mummy pops.
- Chill the cake balls thoroughly before shaping them into ghost forms for the Cake Pop Poltergeist.
- Assemble the Haunting of Cake Pop House scene by adding a skull and bones, a bat, and a large spooky moon to your display.
