Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • One 9-inch carrot cake crumbled
  • 1 to 1½ cups cream cheese frosting
  • 24 oz orange candy melts
  • 12 oz green candy melts

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Cake Mixture
  2. In a large bowl, crumble the carrot cake into fine pieces.
  3. Gradually mix in cream cheese frosting, a little at a time, until the mixture holds together when shaped.
  4. Shape the Cake Pops
  5. Form small, rounded triangle shapes to resemble mini carrots.
  6. Place the shaped cake balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until firm.
  7. Make the Carrot Tops
  8. Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions.
  9. Pipe small leaf-like clusters onto parchment paper and let them set at room temperature.
  10. Coat the Cake Pops
  11. Melt the orange candy melts until smooth.
  12. Dip the bottom of each chilled cake pop into the melted candy and set it back on the parchment paper.
  13. Once the bottoms have set, place each pop on a wire rack and pour melted orange candy over the top, coating completely.
  14. Before the coating hardens, insert a green candy leaf cluster into the top to resemble carrot stems.
  15. Set and Serve
  16. Let the cake pops set completely before serving.
  17. Optionally, drizzle with additional melted candy for decoration.

Notes

    • Alternative Coatings – If orange candy melts are unavailable, use white chocolate with a few drops of orange food coloring.
    • Storage Tips – Store cake pops in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week or freeze for up to 2 months.
    • Serving Idea – Arrange cake pops in a bowl of crushed Oreo cookies to resemble a carrot patch for a fun display.
    • Make-Ahead Tip – Prepare the cake mixture and shape the pops a day in advance to save time on decorating.
