Take note
Be careful not to let these adorable cake pops hatch into real dinosaurs. We wouldn't want any rampaging T-Rexes in the kitchen! Also, exercise caution when handling the cake pops sticks and melted chocolate. Safety first, dinosaur fun second!

1

Bake and Crumble

Start by baking a batch of your favorite cake and allowing it to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. You can use your hands or a food processor for this step.

2

Mix with Frosting

Add a generous dollop of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix it all together. The frosting will help bind the cake crumbs together and give them a moist texture. You want the mixture to be slightly sticky and easy to shape into balls.

3

Shape the Eggs

Now it's time to get your hands dirty! Grab small portions of the cake mixture and roll them between your palms to form egg-shaped balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for about 30 minutes to firm up.

4

Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt some chocolate candy melts or chocolate chips according to the package instructions. Stir the chocolate until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overheat it, as chocolate can burn easily.

5

Dip and Decorate

Take a cake pop stick and dip one end into the melted chocolate. Insert the chocolate-coated end into one of the cake balls, about halfway through. This will create the 'stick' of our dino egg pops. Repeat this for all the cake balls.

6

Add the Speckles

Using a clean, food-safe paintbrush, dip it into the melted chocolate and flick it gently over the cake pops to create speckles. This will give your dino eggs a realistic look. Feel like a dino artist leaving their mark!

7

Let Them Chill

Place the decorated dino egg cake pops back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them for about 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set completely. This will ensure that your creations are stable and ready to be enjoyed!
