Cake pop is a small sponge cake in chocolate icing on a stick. At its core, this dessert is tiny cakes, stylized as lollipops. The basis for cake pops can serve almost any kind of baking. Biscuit crumbs or scraps from chocolate cakes are most often used. The standard form of a cake pop is a ball, making the dessert very similar to a chupa-chups.

It is also popular to create biscuit figurines of animals or cartoon characters for children's parties, the bride and groom — for weddings, hearts — for gifts to lovers. Thus, cake pops can be used as sweet treats at any holiday, party, exhibition, corporate party. The main advantages of dessert: economy, originality and ease of preparation.

Cake pops gained their popularity in 2008 in America thanks to an inventive pastry chef, as well as a blogger from Atlanta, Angie Dudley. It was she who first suggested the idea of making a chupa-chups from dough in her blog. Like everything new, initially such an idea seemed ridiculous to many and was not taken seriously. But later, when Angie started posting the first photos of her works on her website, the attitude towards cake pops changed radically. And in January 2008, the blogger's page was literally stormed by Internet users who wanted to know the recipe and the secret of cooking these unusual desserts.

Later, Angie Dudley released the book "Cake Pops: Tips, Tips and Recipes", recognized as a bestseller by The New York Times. Also, unusual desserts appeared on American television in the series "Martha" and in the 5th season of "Breaking Bad". In addition, the pastry chef-inventor began to organize workshops on the preparation of cake pops in the networks of large American department stores, where she clearly showed the process of creating her signature dessert. Thus, cake pops have become a kind of "viral product" that very quickly interested thousands of people.

One of the largest companies that turned their attention to the appearance of a confectionery novelty was Starbucks. Products with different tastes were sold through a network of coffee establishments of this company.

It cannot be argued that the invention of this dessert belongs entirely to Angie Dudley alone. The likenesses of cake pops were sold in many confectionery shops around the world and for many years before the first Internet post about them, having completely different names, and one significant difference, the absence of a lollipop stick. Initially, such desserts were not conceived as independent dishes that require separate preparation of dough and other things, since they are made from crushed sponge cake and crumbs. And, as a rule, they were born only to get rid of the remnants of cooked pies and cakes. The cook mixed the crumbs left over from the biscuit sweets with the glaze and rolled small balls out of this mass. According to the principle of cooking cake-pops resemble a "potato" cake.

Angie Dudley, in turn, voiced and brought to the general court an interesting idea to combine sponge balls with a stick of lollipops, hence the name, lollipops in English "lollipop", cakes "cake", and cakes on a stick combined in the name is "cake pops".
