We can't get enough of the geode cake trend so why not make them in bite size fashion? These delicious cake bites are inspired by the sparkling crystal formations of geodes so there is no need for perfection. Geodes come in all shapes and sizes so don't stress if they're not perfect, the more imperfect the geode cake pop, the better!
