2 packages (16 oz) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
Orange food coloring (oil or powder based only)

Instructions

1. Prepare and bake cake mix as directed on box; cool completely.

2. Crumble cake into a large bowl. Add frosting and mix thoroughly.

3. Roll mixture into 1″ sized balls. Chill for approximately 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.

4. Melt CANDIQUIK® Coating in Melt and Make Microwaveable Tray™ according to directions on package. Add orange food coloring (oil or powder based only) to CANDIQUIK® until desired color is established.

5. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball. Dip cake pops in Vanilla CANDIQUIK®; allow excess coating to drip off. Place in Styrofoam block.

6. Before coating is set, attach leaf sprinkles and 3 triangular shaped sprinkles as the eyes and nose. Once dry, use the black Gourmet Writer to draw the mouth.

TIP: If cake balls become too soft or are not holding their shape while being dipped, place back in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
