Honey Cake Pops

Cake pops are delicious, and are cute treats to give out on holidays. Even though their popularity dropped over the past couple of years, they are still the most satisfying to decorate. Usually, Starbucks is known for their buttery yet sparkly cake pops, but are they “healthy”? Definitely not. By incorporating this recipe into our week, we will not only feel happier, but less guilty of our consumptions. This is also a great activity to do with your kids on a rainy day. You will only need 20 minutes make this, plus you don’t need to bake it.

Where to buy supplies:

When I first started making cake pops, I bought this cake pop kit and it gets the job done! Instead of rolling by hand, pop the mixture into the silicone trays and let them firm up in there. This pack also comes with sticks, but you can buy lollipop sticks separately here: Wilton 6 Inch Lollipop Sticks.
