This easy cake pop recipe is more of a “how to” type of post. You will see when you get to the recipe, but making cake pops at home is much more simple than you would think!
My first introduction to cake pops was at Starbucks. They honestly looked kind of silly at first. I’m paying how much for one bite of cake?!? But then I had one… and I realized what all the fuss was about. Those were the days before I went gluten free.
Unfortunately Starbucks cake pops are not gluten free, but once you realize this easy cake pop recipe allows you to make gluten free cake pops, you will get that fancy treat back in your life in no time!

My “ah ha” Moment
Until my wife Aimee showed me how to make these, I really never thought about it. I thought the center was just cake. I didn’t realize it was crumbled up cake and icing! That is what gives these cake pops their density and rich taste. Maybe you knew that already, but I was blown away.
It will be explained in the recipe, but that’s the key to remember when making this easy cake pop recipe.
