I've had my eye on trying to make cake pops for quite some time now. When my daughters' birthdays approached, I decided it was the perfect chance to give it a shot. To my surprise, the process turned out to be much easier than I anticipated, and the end result was absolutely delightful. Cake pops are a treat with a crisp outer layer and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth interior—simply irresistible! However, decorating them proved to be the trickiest part. You have to work fast before the chocolate sets; otherwise, things get messy. If you're looking to create your own, you can find everything you need on eBay, at Hobbycraft stores, or even at Lakeland. Here's our take on the Rainbow Fish Cake Pop recipe.

### Method: How to Make Rainbow Fish Cake Pops Recipe
#### Step 1: Preparing the Cake Mix
Begin by creaming together the icing sugar and butter until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add in the vanilla essence and blue food coloring, blending well. Next, crumble the cake into fine particles and stir them into the mixture. Once combined, shape the dough into a ball and refrigerate it for about an hour. Afterward, remove the mixture from the fridge and roll it into small, round balls. Then, mold these balls into fish-like shapes. Place them back in the refrigerator for another half-hour. Insert lollipop sticks into each fish, ensuring not to push them too far. To secure the sticks, apply a small amount of melted chocolate or candy coating at the connection point. Return the cake pops to the fridge for another half-hour.
#### Step 2: Decorating the Cake Pops
Now comes the fun part—decorating! Melt your chosen chocolate or candy melts using a double boiler method or over a bowl of warm water. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, working quickly before it hardens. While still wet, add decorations such as sprinkles to transform them into fish. We used candy eyeballs, silver balls, and colorful sprinkles for the bodies, butterfly-shaped candies for the mouths, candy diamonds for the tails, and chocolate Jazzies for the fins.
This stage is where kids can jump in and lend a hand, though younger ones might find the dipping step challenging due to its speed requirement. My four-year-old daughter enjoyed shaping the cakes but struggled a bit with the dipping because it requires precision and quick reflexes. Despite a few mishaps—some of our rainbow fish didn't survive and ended up being snacked on—it was a rewarding experience overall. Just remember, keeping the cake pops chilled helps maintain their structure during this delicate phase.
