There’s something about fall that makes me want to turn everything into a pumpkin treat. These Pumpkin Cake Pops are the cutest little bites of autumn joy — sweet, spiced, and coated in a creamy shell of chocolate. Whether you’re making pumpkin desserts for Halloween, a fall bake sale, or just to celebrate pumpkin season, these cake pops are bound to make everyone smile.

What Are Pumpkin Cake Pops?

Pumpkin cake pops are made by baking a tender pumpkin-spice cake, crumbling it up, and mixing it with white frosting before rolling it into bite-sized balls. Each one is dipped in chocolate or candy coating, decorated festively, and served on a stick — kind of like a portable truffle-meets-cupcake.

They’re the perfect mix of nostalgic and modern — a little whimsical, a little gourmet.

Perfect for parties. Serve them on a dessert board or package them up as gifts.
Make-ahead friendly. You can chill or freeze them for stress-free entertaining.

How to make Pumpkin Cake Pops

Bake the cake: Start with a simple pumpkin-spice cake. Let it cool completely.

Crumble and mix: Break the cake into fine crumbs, then mix in the frosting to form a dough-like texture.

Roll and chill: Form small balls and place them on a baking sheet. Chill until firm.

Dip and decorate: Melt your candy coating, dip each cake pop, and decorate as desired.

Pro Tips

Chill well or freeze before dipping to help them stay on the sticks.
Thin the candy melts with a little shortening or coconut oil if they’re too thick.
Decorate quickly! Sprinkles stick best before the coating hardens.

Fun Flavor Twists

Salted Caramel Pumpkin Pops: Add a drizzle of caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt.
Chocolate Pumpkin Pops: Use chocolate cake mix and pumpkin purée for a darker, richer flavor.
