When I shared my pink and gold graduation party, I said that the cake pops weren’t actually cake pops at all. Well, I’m sharing my super-duper secret for these over at Buttercream Bakehouse!
Cake pops are so much fun to eat, but they’re a giant pain in the neck to make. So as much as I love them, I never, ever make them. Until I thought of the most brilliant shortcut.
A donut hole. Oh heck yes.
I have the whole tutorial over at Buttercream Bakehouse, so be sure to go check it out!

Love LOVE these, Jenn!
What a simple idea. I love it and just pinned it to my party board.
Hi Jenn – May I repost this guest post you did for Buttercream? I would like to do cake pops again…I tried it and called it “Cake Pops, Seriously?” because mine were a disaster. Thanks for sharing. Best, Susan
thank you for your lovely post. Your pictures are great and I love this idea.
Jenn, these are gorgeous! I love those spangly sprinkles. Also, I can never get my candy coating to look this smooth–you have mad skills, lady!
Boom! Haha – you truly are a genius, even if you’re not the first. What a freaking awesome idea — I hate the baking part too! Definitely going to do this from now on. You rock!
Perfection for our 50th anniversary dessert table (especially with the gold star sprinkles)!! Question: how far in advance can they be made??
OMG…..I freaking love you…..You saved my life LoL Best idea ever!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!! I just saved so much time/effort/money/sweat/tears 😀
Planning my little girls 1st birthday and these donut holes cake pops will be a hit for sure!
