Ingredients

  • All-purpose flour (1 ½ cups / 190g)
  • Granulated sugar (1 cup / 200g)
  • Baking powder (1 ½ tsp)
  • Salt (¼ tsp)
  • Unsalted butter (½ cup / 115g), softened
  • Eggs (2 large, room temperature)
  • Whole milk (½ cup / 120ml)
  • Vanilla extract (1 tsp)
  • Cream cheese (4 oz / 115g), softened
  • Powdered sugar (1 cup / 120g)
  • Vanilla extract (½ tsp)
  • White chocolate or candy melts (12 oz / 340g)
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Sprinkles, edible glitter, or finely chopped nuts
  • Lollipop sticks (about 20)
  • Floral foam or a sturdy vase
  • Colored tissue paper and ribbons

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your 9×9-inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream the butter and eggs: beat softened butter until fluffy, add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: alternate adding flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Mix on low speed just until combined.
  5. Bake the cake: pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely (about 45 minutes).
  6. Make the frosting: beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using a food processor or fork.
  8. Mix cake crumbs with frosting gradually until mixture is moist enough to form balls without falling apart.
  9. Shape the cake pops: roll mixture into 1 ½-inch balls and place on wax paper-lined tray. Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  10. Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add food coloring if desired.
  11. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert halfway into each chilled cake ball. Chill for 10 minutes.
  12. Coat each cake pop by dipping into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter before coating sets. Let dry on wax paper for about 30 minutes.
  13. Assemble the bouquet by arranging cake pops in floral foam inside a vase or container. Add colored tissue paper and ribbons for decoration.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better texture. Chill cake pops well before dipping to prevent crumbling. Warm chocolate gently if it thickens during dipping. Adding vegetable shortening to melted chocolate can help prevent cracking. Work in batches when dipping to avoid warming the coating too much. Decorate immediately after dipping before chocolate sets.
