Cake pops are a versatile dessert that can be altered in a variety of ways. One can use different colors or other candy in order to decorate them to fit a specific holiday or event.

“The ones I see in stores look really cute,” junior Mickena Prochnow said. “They change with the seasons sometimes which is cool too.”

The process is a simple one; however, it can be time consuming. When choosing the simplest process that does not call for extra decorating time, there are three stages: baking the cake, forming the cake pops and dipping them, with time for the desserts to cool between each stage.
