Adorable baby bottle-shaped cake pops combining moist cake and creamy frosting, coated in smooth candy melts, perfect for baby showers and celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix (or homemade equivalent)
  • Ingredients listed on the cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 cup (225g) cream cheese frosting or buttercream (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 oz (340g) white candy melts or almond bark
  • Food coloring in pastel shades (pink, blue, yellow)
  • Baby shower-themed sprinkles or edible glitter
  • Miniature candy pearls or sugar decorations
  • Cold water or vegetable shortening (to thin candy melts if needed)
  • Baby bottle shaped cake pop molds or cake pop shaping tool (optional)
  • Food-safe lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cake mix according to package instructions in a greased 9×13 inch pan for 30-35 minutes. Let cake cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  2. Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl, breaking into fine crumbs with hands or fork.
  3. Add 1 cup cream cheese or buttercream frosting to cake crumbs. Mix gently until mixture holds together when pressed. Adjust frosting or crumbs to achieve moldable dough-like consistency.
  4. Shape mixture into baby bottle shapes about 1.5 inches tall using hands or mold. Insert lollipop sticks halfway through each shape. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt candy melts in microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Thin with vegetable shortening or warm water if needed. Dip chilled cake pops into melted candy coating, covering completely. Tap off excess coating gently. Decorate immediately with sprinkles or edible pearls. Place pops upright in styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set for about 20 minutes.

Notes

Balance cake and frosting moisture for best texture. Chill cake pops thoroughly before dipping to prevent cracking. Melt candy melts in short bursts and stir well. Decorate immediately after dipping. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 1 week.
