Let's Make Some Spooky Eyeballs!
Step 1: Mix Up Your Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Add the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Step 2: Time to Bake!
Preheat your Holstein Housewares 12-Count Cake Pop Maker according to the user manual.
Lightly grease the cooking plates if needed, then carefully pour the batter into the cavities.
Close the lid and bake according to the appliance instructions, until the cake pops are golden and cooked through.
Step 3: Cool Things Down
Carefully remove the cake pops and let them cool completely before decorating.
Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into a little melted candy coating, then gently insert it into a cake pop. Allow the coating to set to help keep the stick in place.
Step 4: Give Them a Spooky Look
Now comes the fun part!
Dip your cake pops into melted white candy coating, allowing the excess to drip off.
While the coating is still soft, add a blue or green candy circle for the iris and a smaller black dot for the pupil.
Once the coating has set, use red decorating gel to draw thin, wavy lines around the eyes for a spooky finishing touch.
Step 5: Ready to Serve!
Arrange your Eyeball Cake Pops in glass jars, add them to your Halloween dessert table, or wrap them individually as party favors.
A little spooky, a little sweet, and fun to share!
