1. Bake any desired flavor of cake. Remember this has a separate baking direction. Once the cake is baked and cooled down, remove the crust, and crumble the cake. Mix the creamy frosting with the crumbled cake.
2. Using the ice cream scoop, make pieces of crumbled cake with frosting into balls. Roll them to make perfect balls, and place on a cookie sheet, pan or tray, then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3. As the cake pop balls are in the fridge, melt the white chocolate through a microwave or a steamer. For microwave, pour white chocolate in a container and place in the oven for a minute or less to melt it. For steamer, fill it with white chocolate and stir as it is liquefied in a very low heat.
4. Take the cake pop balls out of the refrigerator. Attach the lollipop stick into each of the balls. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate container. Place them on a cookie sheet, decorate with sprinkles, sugar or other decorations, and dry.

You can see just how easy to make cake pops for weddings. However, you must also plan on how they are packaged and presented. Most wedding cake pops are covered with translucent wrappers and tied in a ribbon that matches the theme of the event. Others prefer having each of the cake pops stored in a beautiful, transparent box. Whatever you choose to finish the cake pops, it won’t matter as long as they are presented in an attractive and eye-catching form. To finish it off, attach a small piece of paper or board that specify wedding details, which include the name of the bride and the groom, the date, and a “thank you” note.
