Make your own with this easy recipe." Following their popularity, they are launching a full range, in stores across the UK.

While we don't know of any definitive inventor of cake pops, we do know that they were first popularized by home baking blogger Angie Dudley in 2008, with Starbucks' cake pops becoming a favourite snack thanks to its small size and fun designs. The BBC describes them as "a bite-sized morsel of cake coated in chocolate and stuck on a lollipop stick".
