The cake that I am sharing with you today is perfect for Teacher appreciation days or even birthday parties for kids.
It’s a simple frosted cake with some sprinkles and I decorated it with some apple marshmallow pop toppers.
You can make green or yellow apples too but I thought the red ones looked the best on this cake.
To make this cake, you will need the following supplies:
Big pink marshmallows
Lollipop sticks
Paintbrush
Corn syrup
Red sanding sugar/granulated sugar
Green Twizzlers
Scissors
Mini pretzels
These are the instructions:
Step 1:
Push a lollipop stick into the base of a pink marshmallow.
Step 2:
Brush some corn syrup all over the marshmallow.
Note:
You can add a few drops of water into a bowl of corn syrup to thin the consistency a bit. That helps with brushing it all over the marshmallow.
Step 3:
Fill a flat plate with red sanding sugar/granulated sugar.
Start rolling the sticky marshmallow pop until the sugar granules stick to the marshmallow.
Step 4:
Eventually, you should have something that looks like this.
Step 5:
Dip the top of the marshmallow pop into the plate of red sugar so that it’s fully covered too.
Push this marshmallow pop into a block of foam and keep aside.
Step 6:
Break mini pretzels into smaller pieces.
Step 7:
Also, cut up some green Twizzlers into smaller pieces.
Step 8:
Push the small pretzel stick and Twizzler piece on top of the marshmallow pop.
And your apple pop is done.
Make a few of these cute pops and stick them into a frosted cake.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
Happy caking everyone 🙂

Not to be legalistic, but should they be called cake pops if there is no cake in them? There are lots of people doing the marshmallow thing now. It is very popular, one of the big trends. Do these have a name of their own, I don’t know, as I haven’t made them. I have just never seen them referred to as cake pops before.
Love your blog! :o)

You are right! These are marshmallow pops and not cake pops. We have changed the title 🙂
Cake pops or any type of pops really are trending these days coz they are so darn cute and easy to make! hehe.
