I am a little late to the party with the geode cake trend.  This week I will show you how to make geode cake pops.  I love this cake trend because geode rocks are not perfect therefore, the geode cake pops do not have to be perfect.  Geodes are basically rocks that have been hallowed inside that forms beautiful crystals.  While I will not get into a geology lesson about geodes and their formation (not qualified in the least), you get the idea.

Geodes are one of those beautiful things that depending on the tracing elements changes the color.  Therefore, perfect for inspiration.  Not all geodes are made equal.  Which relieves the pressure of making all the geode cake pops the same shape or color.   Are you ready? I know you are, let’s go.

How to make Geode Cake Pops

In order to make this geode cake pops you need to know the basics of making cake pops.  You also need to know how to fix the cake pops if it develops a crack or won’t come together.  Now that we have that out the way lets begin.

Materials Needed for Geode Cake Pops:

• Cake pops rolled into a ball
• Rock candy (I used purple and black)
• Sparkling sugar
• Sanding sugar
• Cake pop sticks
• Styrofoam block
• candy melts (black and white)
• EZ-thins
• Small piping bag (optional)
• Small paring knife or small spatula

Once you have gathered all your ingredients, remove the rock candy from the sticks.  Now this will not be an easy task.  I used my fingers and it hurt like crazy when I was done.  I also used the paring knife which produced the candy on the right.  The rock candy as a bit too big so I had to break them down a bit.

The first step is to cut a small hole in the center of the cake pops.  Make some round and/or the shape similar to Mrs. Pac-Man.  Did I just give away my age with that reference? the whole point is to create a hollowed center for the edible rocks to sit in.  Remember it does not have to be perfect or the same shape.  

To make grey candy melts I mixed black candy melts with white. I started off with a small amount, then added more white to get the grey color that I wanted.  Mix the candy melts until it is smooth and has no bubbles. 

Add the cake pop stick in the center like you normally would.  Then dip the cake pop in the candy melts.

Remove the excess candy melt then add the rock candy to the center of the cake pop. Add the cake pops to a styrofoam block to dry before adding the rocks around the outer edge. 

After the cake pop is dry, it is time to add the candy around the edge.  Add some candy melt to a small piping bag and add candy melt all around the rock candy in the center, then dip the cake pop into the sparkling sugar.

It should look something like this.

Arrange the geode cake pops however you like. I used a vase and I also placed them in a box.

That’s how you make geode cake pops. Simple right? Do to cake pops?
