Step 1
Pop a doughnut hole onto a Cake Pop stick. It helps to use a little icing on the stick before you insert it into your doughnut hole. To do this, simply dab the stick in a little bit of icing then press it into the doughnut hole.

Step 2
Spread icing on the doughnut hole! It looks nice (and the current trend on food blogs today would agree) if you leave a little of the cake showing. This new “unfrosted” look is kind of the thing now! Lucky for us busy parents!
Step 3
Pour some sprinkles in a little bowl and then dip the Cake Pop icing into the sprinkles, pressing firmly so they stick!
