A cake pop is a form of cake styled as a lollipop. Cake crumbs are mixed with icing or chocolate, and formed into small spheres or cubes in the same way as cake balls, before being given a coating of icing, chocolate or other decorations and attached to lollipop sticks.
Cake pops can be a way of using up leftover cake or cake crumbs.
The cake pop increased in popularity between 2009 and 2011. The cake pop peaked in popularity during the late 2010s and early 2020s due to Starbucks' famous cake pops and gender reveal parties using them to reveal their child's gender.




Preparation



Cake pops use many of the ingredients used in baking a traditional cake and can be made from cakes of any flavor.
Many recipes found online use a cake mix instead of a cake batter from scratch. While more convenient, it does not necessarily deliver the same result. The homemade or "made from scratch" cake recipes tend to yield a cake with a much denser crumb than what one would normally get when using a store-bought mix, which ends up performing better, especially after being mixed with homemade frosting. The denser cake is stiffer, making it easier to shape the balls and attach the sticks. Store bought mix yields a lighter cake that does not harden as much, and the sticks tend to slip out after attached.
Once the cake has been baked, or when leftovers from an existing cake have been collected, it is crumbled into pieces. These crumbs are mixed into a bowl of frosting and the resulting mixture is shaped into balls, cubes or other shapes. Each ball is attached to a lollipop stick dipped in melted chocolate, and put in the fridge to chill. Once the mixture solidifies, it is dipped in melted chocolate to form a hard shell, and decorated with sprinkles or decorative sugars. The cake balls can be frozen to speed the solidification process.

Career

=
The band released their self-titled debut EP on August 25, 2015, for streaming. CAKE POP is also available for direct download through MediaFire. Spanning six tracks and clocking in at 14 minutes, the project includes a guest appearance from Canadian rapper Night Lovell as well as guest production from Five Star Hotel. On Apple Music, the project includes a bonus, seventh track titled "757 Remix" that features The Kid Devo, bringing the total run time over 16 minutes.
Soon after the release of CAKE POP, on January 25, 2016, the group would proceed to drop the single "Sticky Fingers" alongside a music video starring Lewis Grant and Dylan Brady. This track is produced by both Laura Les (under the pseudonym osno1) and Brady, the duo that would eventually join forces to become hyperpop's critically-acclaimed 100 gecs.




= 2021: Cake Pop 2

=
Following a period of silence that spanned nearly six years, Cake Pop returned on March 30, 2021, releasing the single "Black Rum" with a music video directed by Weston Allen and produced by Mood Killer. The video includes the members of Cake Pop in food-themed costumes designed by Elly Golterman, with Lewis Grant as a grape bunch, Ravenna Golden as a birthday cake, Dylan Brady as a lobster, Cali Cartier as a broccoli floret, Kevin Bedford as a piece of popcorn, and Pritty as a wedge of cheese. Subsequently, Cake Pop announced their second project Cake Pop 2 on the group's official Twitter account, initially set to release on May 14, 2021. However, the release of the project was ultimately moved up by two weeks.
On April 20, 2021, Cake Pop released a single titled "Satin Bedsheets" accompanied by a livestream of a birthday cake, a wedge of cheese, and a broccoli floret. A music video for "Satin Bedsheets" released 8 days later on April 28, 2021. In the video, Cake Pop members returned in the costumes from the preceding music video, maneuvering puppets that reflect each of the costumes.
Less than two weeks later, on April 30, 2021, Cake Pop 2 was released, spanning ten tracks with a total duration surpassing 20 minutes. Merchandise for the album was made available for purchase through THE HYV, including a vinyl record and two t-shirts designed by Mikey Joyce: one of the band members in their food costumes and the other of the band's logo.
