Print Recipe

These adorable and spooky mummy cake pops feature moist cake balls coated in white chocolate with candy eyes, perfect for Halloween parties and festive treats.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g) plus ingredients called for on the box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 cup (240 g) cream cheese or buttercream frosting, softened
  • 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Candy eyes in assorted sizes
  • Optional: Black edible marker for details
  • Optional: Food coloring to tint white chocolate

Instructions

  1. Bake the cake according to package instructions in a greased 9×13-inch pan at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack (about 1 hour).
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until fine and uniform but not powdery.
  3. Add 1 cup (240 g) softened cream cheese frosting to the crumbs and mix gently until moist enough to hold together but not sticky.
  4. Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons (22 g) of mixture and roll into tight balls. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals in microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
  6. Dip each cake ball into melted white chocolate using a toothpick or cake pop stick, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper to set.
  7. Drizzle thin ribbons of melted white chocolate across each cake pop in a crisscross pattern to mimic mummy wrappings.
  8. Press two candy eyes onto each pop while drizzle is still tacky. Mix sizes or offset eyes for a quirky look.
  9. Chill cake pops in fridge for at least 15 minutes until white chocolate is firm.

Notes

Use a trusted cake mix or homemade moist cake. Chill cake balls before dipping to prevent cracking. Heat white chocolate gently to avoid seizing; add coconut oil if thickened. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days. Can freeze after initial chilling.
