Directions to Make Gender Reveal Cake Pops

This recipe is incredibly simple to put together. It’s a matter of baking a cake, smashing it, and coating it with melting chocolate.

STEP ONE: First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

STEP TWO: In a mixing bowl, combine the egg, sugar, vanilla, and oil. Then whisk together until fully incorporated.

STEP THREE: Now you are ready to add the sour cream and milk. Mix again, until well combined.  

STEP FOUR: In another mixing bowl, combine and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a smooth batter remains. 

STEP FIVE: Now you can divide the batter into two bowls. Add the blue powder to one and the red powder to the other. Mix well until the desired color is reached. 

STEP SIX: Next, spray the two 6” cake pans with oil and pour each colored batter into the respective pan.  

STEP SEVEN: Place the pans on a baking sheet for convenience and cook at 350°f for 20 minutes. Make sure to test the center of the cakes with a toothpick to be sure they’re fully cooked. 

STEP EIGHT:

Once cooked, remove and set aside to completely cool before removing the cakes from the pan. 

STEP NINE: Once the cakes have cooled, crumble the cake and form them into 1 1/2” balls. Set aside. See note under frequently asked questions regarding the crumble of cake.

STEP TEN: Melt the almond bark in a bowl using a microwave. Heat 30 seconds at a time until fully melted. Add a splash of oil if needed. 

STEP ELEVEN: Dip the cake pop stick into the melted chocolate about a half inch. Then stick it into the cake ball. Repeat for all the cake balls.

STEP TWELVE: Take the cake pops that were the first to receive their sticks and dip them into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place upright in a holder or foam base to allow the chocolate to harden. Make sure you know which cake pop is the desired color. Add the sprinkles on top of the cake pops before the chocolate hardens.  

Make Ahead: These pops do very well at room temperature or in the refrigerator, so you can make them up to three days ahead of time.

Expect tip: Do not skip the chilling step on your cake balls before dipping them in the melting chocolate, or the frosting. Without this step, they will not coat or stick correctly.

How to Store Your Gender Reveal Cake Pops

You can store these cake pops at room temperature in an air-tight container or wrapped clear display bag for up to seven days.

Frequently Asked Questions – Cake Pops

Why did my candy coating crack?

If you leave your cake balls in the freezer too long and don’t let them warm up a bit, the drastic change in temperature can cause the candy to crack as it melts.

Why are my cake balls crumbly?

If you find that your cake ball is too crumbly, you can always frost your cake mix. Add about 1 tbsp of frosting at a time until desired. Best to mix your cake mix when hot so you won’t need frosting!
