Happy Thursday ya’ll!! How about some Eyeballs on a Fork Red Velvet Cake Pops? Gross, huh?
This week had felt a little out-of-whack with dentist appointments and other doctor appointments and the weather has changed dramatically and well… I’m just feeling a little off my game.
But the show must go on, so yesterday I got started on my first order of the week 🙂
We don’t celebrate Halloween and I always turn down any orders that I deem too scary or evil or well… Halloweeny, so I’m not sure what possessed me to agree to make these. It was quite awhile back when I put them on my schedule and clearly, I just wasn’t thinking that day.
I guess because they didn’t involve ghosts or witches or skulls or anything I consider super scary … I made an exception. I’m not sure. But that aside, I did agree to make them, so late last night I got started.
It was way too late and I was way too tired to take a zillion pictures (because normally… I really do take a zillion)… so I’m just going to give you a quick run-down of how I made these!
How do you make Halloween Cake Pops?
- Bake this this red velvet cake recipe.
- Make a half batch of this cream cheese frosting, or less (you’ll only need a very small amount).
- Follow this tutorial for How to Make Cake Pops.
- Roll them up, chill them.
- Then, using forks instead of lollipop sticks, I dipped the cake balls in white candy melts – my favorites are white almond bark or Candiquik.
- Once they’re set, roll out some really thin green fondant and use a small round cookie cutter to cut out the irises of the eyes… then an even smaller round cookie cutter to cut out black fondant for the pupils.
- Use tiny drops of the melted chocolate to attach them.
- Use a red food marker to draw on the blood vessels. And you’re done!

For reference, dipping and decorating 3 dozen of these took me almost exactly two hours (not counting the baking, rolling and chilling). And that’s it!!

Hi there, these are great! I tried clicking on the link for the cream cheese buttercream frosting but it appears to be broken. Can you please provide the recipe?
Thanks so much!!
OOOh no, sorry about that! It’s fixed now and here’s the link for you: https://rosebakes.com/cream-cheese-buttercream-frosting/.
Can this be made ahead and frozen?
No, I don’t think cake pops freeze well. The change in temperature causes the chocolate to crack.
What size cutters do you use for the eyes?
I don’t remember exactly but I know I used round piping tips, like these: https://amzn.to/3zcmgeL. I might have even used the big end (where the frosting goes in) vs the smaller end where the frosting comes out. Hope that helps!
These are great! I work for an eye doctor and we’re having a luncheon for Halloween. Contest for desserts! I’ll be making these. They should be a hit
