Cake pop dough is cake mixed with buttercream until it makes a dough
Cake pop dough is great for making cake pops (obviously) cakesicles or for adding dimension to your sculpted cakes. I use cake pop dough a lot to use up my leftover cake scraps when I’m making sculpted cakes.
Cake pop dough tastes a bit like a brownie. It becomes dense and rich but still tastes amazing!
