CAKE POPS FOR SALE RECIPES

Steps:

• Prepare and bake the cake according to the package directions for a 9-by-13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
• Break the cake into pieces and place it in a food processor. Add the frosting and process until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, about 30 seconds. If the mixture doesn't come together, add more frosting 1 tablespoon at a time until it holds its shape.  
• Using a 3/4-ounce scoop, form the mixture into 46 balls and put them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, place the candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to package directions. Dip a half inch of the tip of a lollipop stick into the candy and then stick the tip halfway into a cake ball. Repeat with the remaining balls and sticks. Refrigerate the cake pops until completely chilled, about 1 hour.  
• Microwave the candy again until melted and pour it into a tall narrow glass. Dip each cake pop into the candy and let any excess run off. If decorating, turn the cake pop upright and sprinkle with sprinkles while the coating is still wet. Stick the finished pops in two 9.8-by-11.8-inch Styrofoam blocks block and let set completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; dust with flour. Beat butter with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Add sugar, beating until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Stir together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; add to butter mixture alternately with hot water and milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating on medium speed after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared cake pans. Bake in preheated oven until a wooden pick inserted in centers comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool in pans 10 minutes. Remove layers from pans, and let cool completely on a wire rack, about 30 minutes.
