Cake Pop Dough Recipe

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!

    Hi Liz!
    What do you recommend covering them in? Should I use real white chocolate or the candy melts? Thank you so much!
