Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 9x13 Yellow Cake Homemade or Cake Mix
- ⅓ Cup White Frosting Homemade or Store Bought
- 2 Cups Green Frosting
- Pearl Sprinkles
- Gold Star Sprinkles
- Lollipop Sticks
Instructions
- Break the cooled cake into small pieces in a large bowl. Keep crumbling it with your hands until it feels like sand. Make sure there are no big chunks left.
- Add ⅓ cup of white frosting to the crumbled cake. Use a rubber spatula to thoroughly mix it in. If the mixture doesn’t stick together like dough, add a little more frosting, just one tablespoon at a time. Don’t add too much, or the cake pops might turn out too soft and fall apart.
- Scoop the cake mixture into each sugar cone. Gently press it down so the cone is completely filled.
- Dip the end of a lollipop stick into a bit of frosting, then stick it into the center of each cone. Once all the cones are filled with cake and have sticks, put them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Fill a piping bag with green frosting fitted with a star tip. Set it aside.
- After chilling, hold the lollipop stick and spread green frosting over the sugar cone using a butter knife or offset spatula, covering it completely.
- Pipe star shapes of the green frosting, starting at the top and working your way down in a single line. Then, slowly turn and do another line of star-shaped frosting. Continue until the sugar cone is covered.
- Add the pearl sprinkles and top with a gold star. Set aside and repeat for the rest of the trees. Time to enjoy!
Notes
- These are best eaten the same day to prevent the cones from getting soggy.
- You can freeze the leftover cake pop mixture for up to 2 months, or make some cake pops for later.
