Creepy Eyeball Cake Pops for Halloween

It’s that time of year! Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays to decorate for, and this year we’re having a Halloween party so I’m planning some fun and creepy Halloween treats. I’m not very good at actually being scary (really, not scary at all), so my decorating is usually more lighthearted with some creepy additions. These eyeball cake pops are going to be the creepy part of my Halloween table this year, and I promise they taste WAY better than they look! 

Cake pops are the perfect way to use up the discarded pieces of layer cakes, which is exactly where I got the cake to make these eyeball cake pops (all cake is leftover from my hashtag cake). I put them on forks to up the creepy level a little, and the forks make it much easier to dip the cake pops compared to regular cake pop sticks. Whether you’re a cake pop master (which I’m definitely not) or trying them for the first time, this is a fairly easy DIY because the forks not only make them easier to dip but the decorating is minimal.

Time: 1+ hour

Ingredients:

  • Your fav cake recipe (I recommend my favorite vanilla cake or chocolate cake)
  • Frosting 
  • White chocolate
  • Neon green candy melts
  • Black candy melts
  • Vegetable oil
  • Plastic forks
  • Toothpicks

To make cake pops, simply crumble some baked cake into a large bowl. I like to save the cake I cut off of my layer cakes and make cake pops. You can store leftover cake in the fridge or freezer. Add a little frosting (store bought or homemade) and mix with your hands or a large spoon, but your hands are the easiest way to mix! Add more frosting as needed until the cake sticks together well. 

Form 1-inch balls of cake with your hands and set on a parchment lined baking sheet. Move to the fridge while you melt the chocolate. 

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate on half power or defrost mode for 30 seconds. Remove, stir and replace for an additional 30 seconds until you reach your desired consistency. I like to add a little vegetable oil to thin the chocolate and make it easier to dip.

Remove the cake balls from the fridge and, one at a time, dip the tongs of the plastic forks into the melted chocolate (about 1/3 of the way), insert into the cake balls and set back on the sheet. This step ensures the fork stays stuck during coating. Continue with all and move to the fridge to allow chocolate to set (or the freezer if your cake pops are extremely soft).

Heat a small amount of black candy melts in a separate bowl using the same method I mentioned above. Pour it into a pastry bag or simply a plastic sandwich bag and cut off a very small tip. At the same time, pour some of the white chocolate into a separate bag and cut off a very small tip. Slowly pipe 1/2 inch circles in the middle of each unmelted green candy melt with the black candy. Smooth carefully with a toothpick if desired. Pipe a dot of white in the corner or each black circle to complete the eyeball look. Move all “eyes” to the fridge.

Remove the cake pops and re-heat the white chocolate if needed to reach dipping consistency. Carefully dip each ball into the chocolate, gently tap excess chocolate off and immediately place the completed candy melt eyeball in the center. Place the cake pops down onto the lined baking sheet. You can also store them upright in a cup to dry, but I find that this method makes them easier to serve because they are on bulky forks instead of sticks. Repeat with all pops, use a toothpick to make touch-ups as desired and move to the fridge to harden completely.

Now your cake pops are ready to serve for Halloween! If you really want to take these to the next level, use a food safe marker to draw creepy red veins on the sides of the eyeballs. 

Happy Halloween! Stay tuned for a couple more ideas this month!

WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk abou WELL, I was going to post this photo and talk about the new pins in the shop...but they SOLD OUT in 12 hours instead πŸ˜­πŸ™ Andrew and I are so overwhelmed with the love of the #FIPWarriors community. Thank you to anyone who's purchased a pin to support Milo's treatment! We're so close to the end now! One more batch of pins coming up soon 😽
What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas What do you mean I have to take down my Christmas decorations?! 😭 Half our neighbors already took down their Christmas lights, so I guess the only goal is to not be the LAST one with lights up. How long do you keep up your decorations?
Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holi Maybe next year I'll finally remember to do a holiday card before it's a week til Christmas, so we can actually send one πŸ€ͺ When we get Christmas cards, I always feel like a little kid getting mail again! Do you send a holiday card??⁠
⁠
(Grab this DIY card holder in the blog archives! πŸ‘‰)
More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHO More product is coming soon! πŸŽ‰ I'm honestly SHOCKED to see Milo's pins sell out so quickly. We made 50 with the expectation that we wouldn't sell very many, but I just put in an order for more inventory! 😭⁠
⁠
This time we'll be selling black and white cat "FIP Warrior" pins to help raise money for Milo's treatment. Stay tuned - a pre-sale is coming! Pins will ship again in early January. In the meantime, there's plenty of other products available in the shop! (Visit my @etsy via the link in my bio)
NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your su NEW LAUNCH! 😸 Thank you all so much for your support of Milo while he goes through FIP treatment! I designed a new enamel pin to help us raise the funds to pay for Milo's treatment...THEN we sold almost all of the pins in just in a few hours! I'm so thankful and in shock of the generosity of our FIP community 😭⁠
⁠
There are a few left and more on the way, so you can SHOP NOW on @etsy and here on IG!! If you want a pin and they are sold out, please tag yourself below! Visit the link in my bio to purchase πŸ›β

"FIP Warrior" is the name we give to cats fighting FIP and the humans who help them, bringing awareness to the disease and possible treatments. Our Warrior Milo is almost halfway through his treatment and we couldn't be more grateful to see him getting better! Every purchase from my shop helps us to pay for his expensive treatments and is so, so appreciated πŸ™πŸΌ
🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since 🍁 I can't beLEAF it's been a whole month since my last post (oops!) but I had to fit in my one obligatory fall photo before I dive straight into Christmas! If you caught my Stories recently, you may have already seen why I've been so absent...⁠
⁠
Last month, our sweet Milo was diagnosed with a disease called feline infectious peritonitis (FIP). It's very serious and has required our full attention to give him daily injections that should help him recover. The treatment is 84+ days long and has taken a huge emotional toll on us. You can learn more about Milo's FIP story in my profile Highlights!⁠
⁠
Long story short: I've been too emotionally drained from Milo's treatment, my regular work and the crazy world around us to even think about social media 😣 I truly don't know how you fellow creators do it! Hopefully the cheerfulness of Christmastime gives me the urge to create again! (πŸ“Έ cookies made for a project with @spectrumorganic)
