What Do I Need For Ghost Cake Pops?
The ingredients for these ghost cake pops are simple and few.
You will need a favorite cake recipe or purchase a boxed cake mix. You will need frosting, either homemade or purchased. Lastly, you will need a bag of white Wilton Candy Melts. If you can’t find the candy melts, quality white chocolate will work just as well. You will need to add a little Crisco to the white chocolate.
Additional Supplies: You need a poop emoji silicone mold and some cake pop sticks. Lol, that’s right. These cute little guys are half of a poop emoji cupcake mold.
How Do I Make Ghost Cake Pops?
Make the cake pop. These cake pops make a single 8 or 9-inch cake yield about 12 ghost cake pops. Use your favorite cake recipe or purchase a boxed cake mix. For the boxed cake mix, use 1/2 of the mix. For the frosting, you don’t need very much, about 1/3 to 1/2 of a cup. Enough to “stick,” the cake crumbs together. The consistency is similar to meatloaf. It is important to completely cool the cake before you crumble it into crumbs. If your cake is still warm, it will melt the frosting into a sticky mess. I refrigerate the baked cake overnight. When the frosting and cake are mixed together, press about 2 tbsp into the poop emoji cupcake molds and add a cake pop stick. Chill for 1 hour.
Melt the candy melts. I used the bright white candy melts for these ghost pops. You can also use a good quality white chocolate. Add 1 Tbsp Crisco to 2 cups of white chocolate chips. The microwave works great for melting the candy melts. Microwave for 30 second intervals. Stir between each time in the microwave. This prevents hot spots and ruined dip.
Dip the Ghost Cake Pops. Melt the candy melts before removing the cake pops from the fridge. Prepare a foam block to put the dipped ghost pops into while they dry. Once the dip is ready, dip each cake pop stick into the dip and poke it back into the cake pop. Don’t go all the way through the cake pop. This “glues” the stick in place. Important to prevent the cake pop from falling off the stick when you dip it. Let the dip harden in the cake pop and then dip the pop into the melted candy melts. Add the eyes and stick the ghost cake pop into the foam block until it is dry, and the candy melts are hardened. Once the ghost pop is firmly set, remove the stick; the cake pop stick can also be or can be removed or left
