These witch cake pops do not require witchcraft. 🙂 You can make these cute sweet treats with a bit of time. I tried different hats, I tried different hair, but I ended up with what worked best. Here we go.
In this tutorial, I won’t give you exact quantities for all the ingredients, as the number of cake pops varies, and you are free to choose the quantities. If you are making these cute witch cake pops for the first time or are a cake pop novice, you should allow a generous amount of ingredients for your first attempts.

Step by Step
- Make your cake pops >> Basic Cake Pop Recipe.
- For the skin tones, melt the white candy melts. Use a microwave, stirring half way.
- Separate the melted candy, adding pink coloring to one half, green to the other. Adjust the coloring until you get your desired tone.
- Melt the black chocolate candy, dip in Elphaba`s Chococone Candy and secure to Necco wafer. Let dry.
- Completely dip the hat in the candy melts, remove with a fork and tap off excess like tapping a truffle. Lay aside to dry completely.
- For Glinda’s hat, I attach a Bugle chip to a Necco wafer and dip into pink candy melts. Remove with fork, tap off excess and set aside.
- Pre-cut the dark and yellow licorice into small strings, about 1 – 1.5 inches long.
- For Elphaba, dip one cake pop into the green melted candy mix, tap off excess and start attaching dark licorice hair. If you go all the way around the pop, you’ll need a lot of licorice. I did not attach the hair to the top of the head – there is a bald spot up there for the hat to sit on. I found that the added hair was too bumpy, and the hat did not sit nicely.
- Work fast and attach the eyes and nose with tweezers. We will add the mouth a little later.
- Set aside to dry in a cake pop stand or Styrofoam. Repeat for all the Elphaba cake pops.
- Repeat for Glinda, using the pink colored candy melts, as well as yellow licorice strings. Attach eyes, nose, and mouth with tweezers. Work one by one. Set to dry.
- Pops and hats should be dry now. Start with the first cake pops, and dip the bald head into melted candy and attach the hats.
- Add the mouth to Elphaba. Use Wilton black Cookie Icing, applied with a toothpick.
- For Elphaba use some black decorator gel to add detail to the hat. I also added a wart to her nose.
- For Glinda use pink Pearl Dust on her hat and cheeks. Using the black cookie icing and toothpick, add the eyelashes and a beauty mark.
