Instructions
Prepare Cake Pop Mixture: Start by preparing your cake pop mixture according to your preferred recipe. This typically involves baking a cake, crumbling it, and mixing it with frosting to form a dough-like consistency.
Mold Skeleton Cake Pops: Use the Halloween cake pop press to mold the cake pop mixture into skeleton shapes. Press firmly to ensure the shapes hold together well. Place the molded cake pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating according to the instructions on the packaging. Stir until smooth and fluid.
Attach Straws: Dip one end of each paper straw into the melted candy coating, then insert it into the bottom of each skeleton-shaped cake pop. The coating will act as glue to hold the straws in place. Allow the coating to dry and set completely.
Dip Cake Pops: Once the straws are securely attached, carefully dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, ensuring the entire surface is covered. You can use a spoon or spatula to help coat the cake pops evenly. Allow any excess coating to drip off.
Set in Styrofoam or Cake Pop Holder: After dipping, insert the paper straws into a piece of styrofoam or a dedicated cake pop holder to allow the coating to dry completely. This will prevent the cake pops from touching any surfaces and ruining their appearance.
Decorate with Candy Pens: Once the candy coating has dried, use the candy decorating pens to add intricate designs and details to the sugar skull cake pops. Get creative with colorful patterns, swirls, and traditional Day of the Dead motifs.
Display and Enjoy: Once decorated, your Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Cake Pops are ready to be displayed and enjoyed! Arrange them on a platter or in a decorative container to showcase their festive charm. They're sure to be a hit at any Dia de los Muertos celebration or Halloween party. Enjoy!
