Recipe
Delicious Pumpkin Cake Pops
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the instructions on the box, and bake in a 9×13-inch pan for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl using your hands until you have small, fine crumbs. Add the canned pumpkin and mix it with the crumbled cake until the mixture is moist but not overly sticky.
- Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should get around 12 cake balls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted orange candy melts, then insert the stick about halfway into each cake ball. This step helps to anchor the stick to the cake ball.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted orange candy coating, ensuring it’s fully covered. Tap off any excess chocolate and set the cake pops back onto the parchment paper to cool.
- While the orange coating is setting, melt the green candy melts and drizzle them over the top of the cake pops to create a “stem” effect. Let the cake pops cool completely.
- Once the cake pops have fully set, serve and enjoy your fun, colorful fall treats!

Notes
How to Make the Recipe
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the yellow cake mix according to the instructions on the box, and bake it in a 9×13-inch pan for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once baked, let the cake cool completely before proceeding.
Once cooled, crumble the cake into small pieces using your hands until the crumbs are fine. Add the canned pumpkin to the crumbled cake and mix it together until the mixture is moist but not overly sticky. The pumpkin adds both flavor and moisture, giving the cake pops a delightful richness.
Next, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should be able to make about 12 cake balls from this recipe.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted orange candy coating and insert it halfway into each cake ball. This step helps keep the sticks in place as you coat the cake pops.
Now, dip each cake pop into the melted orange candy coating, making sure to cover the entire ball. Tap off any excess coating and set the cake pops back onto the parchment paper to cool.
While the cake pops are setting, melt the green candy melts in the same way, and drizzle it over the top of the cake pops to create a “stem” effect, adding a fun and festive touch. Let the cake pops cool completely before serving.
These delicious pumpkin cake pops are now ready to be enjoyed! They make a perfect snack or dessert for any fall or Halloween celebration.
