So before we bring it upstairs, it's time to take care of our royal icing.

That's the frosting we're gonna wrap around the entire cake pop to toss the sprinkles onto.

Four cups of powdered sugar.

Then three tablespoons of meringue powder.

Now we'll close down our mixer and let this go until a nice glue-like paste forms.

Now that our frosting is done, it's time to go grab that cake pop.

Now that we've made our royal icing, it's time to lift this upstairs.

Oh, baby.

Oh, wow.

And then I'll use these Parmesan cheese wedges to wedge it open.

Whoa!

How do you feel right now?

For this next step, we're putting on our royal icing, which we'll go all over the cake pop with.

This stuff dries really, really hard and fast.

And all we need is a nice thin layer around so we can add our sprinkles.

We had to buy a lot of sprinkles to make sure we could cover this thing.

And given that this is probably the most fun part of the whole day, we're gonna have fun with it.

With the addition of this stick, our cake pop is complete.

And now we have to weigh the entire thing at once because every last thing counts.

The stick, the sprinkles, the cake pop, we need to weigh it all.
