Cherry Cake Pops

Ingredients and Supplies:

*1 box white cake mix, make according to direction but replace the cherry juice for 1/4 cup of the water

*1/4 cup Maraschino Cherry Juice, this is added to the cake mix

*1 container 16 ounce Cream Cheese Frosting, see **note below

*Red Food Coloring, optional add to cake batter for more pink color

*Green Ribbon, leaves

*Bendable Green Straws, stem

*1 cup Wilton Red Melting Wafers, melt more as needed to cover cake pops

*1/4 teaspoon Coconut Oil

Directions:

*Makes at least 10 Cherry pairs (20 cake balls) using 1/2 cake mix, see **note below

*Make cake balls 1 to 1 and 1/2 inches

*To make the whole box of cake mix you will bake as noted on the box. Then allow the cake to cool and crumble up the cake and mix with the container of frosting. Then form into cake balls and refrigerate.

*Using bendable green straws, pull apart the Bent part of the straw, bend straw and cut the straw making both sides equal. Then cut the long side to match the shorter side. Hope this makes sense🤷‍♀️. See pictures.

*While cake balls chill, melt melting wafers, we used Wiltons melting pot. But you can melt candy wafers and coconut oil in a one cup glass measuring cup in 30 second increments (stirring between each increment) in the microwave until melted.

*Dip each cake ball using a dipping tool or fork etc… dip one at a time in the melted wafers. Place cake balls on Silpat/baking mat, placing 2 dipped cake balls side by side but not touching then add the bent straw. Repeat as needed. Refrigerate after dipping them until all are set. Then add green ribbon as desired. Serve.

**Note: I made 12 cupcakes and then a 8 inch round Cake to make these cherry cake pops. And 1/2 the can of frosting added to the 8 inch round cake which you will crumble up before adding the frosting.
