# Candy Apple Cake Pops Bakerella's Caramel Apple Cake Pop Recipe Uses the Limited Oreo Flavor By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-cake-pop References: [bakerella](http://www.bakerella.com/caramel-apple-oreo-cookie-pops/) & [abullseyeview](http://www.abullseyeview.com/2014/08/new-caramel-apple-oreo-at-target-bakerella-cookie-pop-recipe/) Inspired by the release of the limited edition Caramel Apple-flavored Oreo cookies, [Target](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cotton-candy-layer-cake) asked expert cake pop creator Bakerella to come up with a Caramel Apple Cake Pop recipe. Rather than a base of cake, this recipe makes use of the crumbled cookies mixed with cream cheese to form the [cake pop balls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubaistyle-chocolate-mac-pops). Then, to make the cake pops look like little candy apples themselves, this just involves dipping them in a green candy wafer followed by a layer of caramel. To make the Caramel Apple Cake Pops look even more authentic, Bakerella dresses them up with chunks of [caramel and butterscotch candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harvest-caramels-collection) or drizzles of chocolate to really make the treats look like miniature versions of food that you'd find at a fall fair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 36% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Limited Edition Food Products:** Creating innovative recipes using limited edition food products can attract consumers and drive sales. - **Creative Cake Pop Recipes:** Exploring unique and creative ingredients and decorations for cake pops can differentiate a business in the baking industry. - **Authentic-looking Food Treats:** Designing food treats that resemble miniature versions of popular foods can enhance the visual appeal and consumer experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Food and Snack Retail:** Retailers can leverage limited edition food products to create innovative recipes, attracting customers and increasing sales. - **Baking and Dessert Industry:** The baking industry can explore creative cake pop recipes to stand out in the market and cater to unique consumer preferences. - **Event and Party Industry:** Event planners and party supply retailers can offer authentic-looking food treats for special occasions, enhancing the overall experience for attendees. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Caramel Apple Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-ice-cream.md) - [Seasonal Bundt Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tastes-of-autumn-collection.md) - [Autumnal Apple Caramel Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-caramel-cookie.md) - [Apple Crumb Cake Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crumb-cake.md) - [Single-Serve Caramel Apple Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-cheesecake.md) - [Caramel Apple Hard Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caramel-apple-hard-candies.md) - [Private Label Cafe Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birthday-cake-cake-pops.md) - [Spooky Halloween Snack Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookie-pop1.md) - [Diner Dessert Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-apple-pie-a-la-mode.md)
