Mary Poppins Inspired Spoon Full of Sugar Cake Pops
Mary Poppins is one of my childhood favorites. I love everything about that movie: the music, the whimsy, the way Mary Poppins was the perfect combination of fun and “I'm not putting up with any of your monkey business,” and…well, everything. This recipe was inspired by Mary Poppins Returns, which premiered in December 2018. These little Mary Poppins Inspired Spoon Full of Sugar Cake Pops are fun and whimsical, just like Mary Poppins, and they are SUPER easy to make.
They do go down in the most delightful way but they have a little more substance to them than a plain spoon full of sugar. They're very dainty looking and the small bite size is just enough sweetness if you're trying to limit your desserts. Warning: this does not work if you eat six of them. Just sayin'.

Ingredients:
- 1 small box of cake and ingredients to make cake (I used a box of Jiffy Golden Yellow Cake Mix, 9oz that makes 12 cupcakes or one round/square layer)
- 2/3 cup white vanilla frosting
- 1 bag bright white candy melts
- decorating sugar (I used Bob's Red Mill decorative sparkling sugar. This Wilton's sugar I found on Amazon is similar.
- small tasting spoons
I bought my tasting spoons at Dollar Tree. You can probably find similar at any party supply store or check these out on Amazon.
Directions:
Bake cake according to package directions and let cool completely. Cut cake into cubes and crumble. I find using my hands works best for this. Add frosting to cake and mix well.
Use a tablespoon scoop to pack together a cake ball. Divide the ball in half and set aside.
In a small sandwich bag, add 10 candy melts. Heat for 30-40 seconds, kneading every 20 seconds until melted. Snip the tip of the bag and pipe a small amount of melted candy onto the spoon. Press a cake ball into the candy. Set aside for candy to firm up.
Working in smaller batches, place half of the remaining candy melts in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute, 20 seconds, stirring every 20 seconds until melted.
Dip spoons into candy until completely coated. Sprinkle with decorative sugar and set on wax paper to harden.
