Follow the instructions on your cake mix to bake the cake or prepare a homemade batter. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.

Once the cake is cooled, crumble it into fine pieces using your hands or a fork. You should have about 3-4 cups of crumbled cake.

Add cream cheese or buttercream frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix until the mixture holds together when pressed. You may need to adjust the amount of frosting based on the consistency.

Use golf ball cake pop molds to shape the mixture into perfect spheres, or use your hands to roll the mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Be sure to maintain the round shape as much as possible.

Place the shaped cake pops in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes to firm up. This helps prevent them from falling apart when dipped in chocolate.

Melt your candy melts or white chocolate according to the package instructions. Dip each cake pop stick into the coating first, then insert it into a cake ball to help it stay in place. Dip the cake pop completely into the melted coating, tapping off any excess.

For a golf ball appearance, use edible paint in green, brown, and white to create dimple patterns and textures on the cake pops. You can also pipe royal icing or melted chocolate in golf ball-like lines. For added flair, sprinkle edible glitter or luster dust over the coating, or attach fondant or gum paste decorations like tiny golf tees or flags.

Let the cake pops set and harden before serving. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To display, use a tiered cake pop stand or decorative bowl to showcase your beautiful golf-themed treats.
