Equipment

Ingredients

For the Red Velvet Cake:

  • 15.25 oz red velvet cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembling & Decorating:

  • 40 lollipop sticks
  • 12 oz white chocolate
  • 1/2 cup red candy melts

For Optional Blood Syrup Decoration:

  • 2 tbsp corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp red gel food coloring
  • 1 drops blue food coloring optional, for deeper red

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking tray.
  • In a large bowl, mix red velvet cake mix, eggs, water, and oil until smooth. Pour into the tray and bake for 28–32 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  • Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat until fluffy.
  • Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Add about 3/4 cup of frosting. Mix until a dough-like texture forms.
  • Scoop and roll into 1½-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each.
  • Dip the tip of each stick in melted chocolate, then insert into a chilled cake ball.
  • Dip each pop into melted chocolate. Let excess drip off and place on parchment to set.
  • Melt red candy melts. Spoon into a zip-top bag and snip the corner. Drizzle over the top of each pop for a "bloody" effect.

Optional Blood Syrup Effect:

  • Mix corn syrup with red food coloring (and blue, if using) until deep red. Spoon or drizzle over the cake pops for a gory shine.
  • Let cake pops set at room temperature or chill briefly in the fridge. Serve and enjoy!
