Are you married to a boring dude who likes golf? This is the treat for him (maybe swap out the lemon cake for vanilla).
I found a cute golf ball cake pop mold that was perfect for my Golf Ball Cake Pops and Candy Surprises recipes below. Luckily, my son’s best friend had his party at a mini-golf course and asked for some custom treats, so I was able to put this to good use.

Golf Ball Cake Pops
- Golf Ball Shells: I first melted the white chocolate and then brushed the inside of the molds with it. I used several coats of chocolate because I wanted to make sure they wouldn’t break when demolding. Once dry, I was able to pop them out and clean up any excess chocolate along the rim.
- Cake Pop Dough: To make the cake pop dough, I added a fresh lemon cake to my mixing bowl still hot and steaming. I mixed it with the paddle attachment until it cake together in a dough. The steam added some moisture, but I still needed a few tablespoons of frosting. Fortunately, I had some of my cream cheese frosting in the freezer.
- Cake Pop Shaping: I used a small cookie dough scoop to make cake pop balls that would fit inside the chocolate golf ball shells.
- Cake Pop Sticks: Dip a stick into the chocolate and stick it into the balls. Let the chocolate dry.
- Golf Ball Assembly: To assemble, brush chocolate on the cake pop along the area that would be the seam of where the two halves of chocolate would come together. Then place the cake pop ball into one half golf shell, dip the rim of another half into the melted chocolate, and place on top of the other half. If there is space, you can also brush more chocolate on the exposed cake pop dough, which can help it stick together.

Golf Ball Candy Surprises
Some people don’t love cake pops, so I made a batch of golf balls filled with a mix of sour candies. My kids absolutely loved these!
- I first melted the white chocolate, and then brushed the inside of the molds with it. I used several coats of chocolate because I wanted to make sure they wouldn’t break when demolding. Once dry, I was able to pop them out and clean up any excess chocolate along the rim.
- Using the mold to create a stable base to hold golf halves in place, I then added a mix of sour candies. To seal the other half of the golf ball, I dipped the rim of it in melted chocolate and topped the candy-filled side. Then run your finger along the perimeter to smooth out any chocolate.
- Allow them to dry, and then they are ready to share with your friends.
