Ingredients
Scale
Cake and Frosting
- 1 box cake mix (flavor of choice)
- 1 can frosting (any flavor, chocolate recommended)
Assembly
- 12 ice cream cones
- White candy coating (amount as needed for dipping and topping)
- Sprinkles (for decoration)
- Red Sixlets (12 pieces, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the cake: Bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan according to the package instructions. Allow the cake to cool completely, then break it up into fine crumbs using a fork or your hands.
- Mix cake crumbs with frosting: In a large bowl, combine the cake crumbs with 3/4 of the can of frosting. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is moist and holds together well. This will be your cake pop mixture.
- Melt the candy coating and prepare cones: Melt the white candy coating following the package directions. Dip the top edge of each ice cream cone into the melted candy coating, coating just the rim, and set aside to let it harden. This will help the cake pop stick securely to the cone.
- Form and attach the cake pop: Add a small amount of the cake mixture inside the cone without pressing it down. Then scoop about one tablespoon of cake mixture, flatten it into a disk, roll another ball, and press the ball onto the flattened piece to create a rounded cake pop. Place the cake pop on top of the coated cone rim and allow the candy coating to harden and set for about 5 minutes.
- Coat and decorate: Once the candy coating has hardened securing the cake pop, spoon additional melted white candy coating over the top of the cake pop while holding the cone on its side, allowing it to drip and coat the surface. Before the coating hardens, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the top and press a red Sixlet candy on the center as a finishing touch.
Notes
- You can choose any flavor of cake mix and frosting to personalize your cake pop cones.
- Be careful not to press the cake mixture inside the cone too tightly to keep a light texture.
- If the melted candy coating becomes too thick, gently reheat it to maintain a smooth dipping consistency.
- Let the candy coating harden fully before serving or wrapping to retain the shape and decoration.
- These cake pop cones are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
