Question

Can I use cream cheese for a red velvet cake pop?

Community Answer

Use cream cheese frosting because plain cream cheese isn't very sweet.

Question

What if I can't afford all of these expensive ingredients?

Community Answer

You just need 1 box of cake mix, 1 container cake icing (your choice of flavor), any kind of chocolate and lollipop cake pop sticks, and some sprinkles for decoration. Most of this can be found at a dollar store.

Knead the dough well, but do not overknead it. Also, make sure you have the correct ratio of dry and wet ingredients.

Question

Is it best to make cupcakes or a big cake to cut up at the beginning?

Community Answer

Probably a big cake instead, because it would have less brown "crust", unless you like that.

Question

Could I just mold the cake mixture into little balls and bake them like that?

Community Answer

No, you can't. If you tried to bake the cakes in their ball shapes, they wouldn't stay together, so you'd end up with a bunch of misshapen lumps.
