Ingredients
Method
Bake the Cake:
- Prepare the vanilla cake according to the package instructions and allow it to cool completely.
Crumble and Mix:
- In a large bowl, crumble the cake into fine crumbs.
- Add the vanilla frosting and mix until the texture is smooth and moldable.
Shape the Cake Pops:
- Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball.
Chill:
- Refrigerate for about 2 hours to help the cake pops firm up.
Prepare the Coating:
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
- Divide into smaller bowls and mix with food coloring to create pastel shades.
Dip and Decorate:
- Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Add sprinkles or edible glitter while the coating is still wet.
Set and Serve:
- Place the cake pops upright in a stand or styrofoam block and allow them to set before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Use candy melts instead of chocolate chips for a smoother coating.
- For a chocolatey twist, swap vanilla cake for chocolate or funfetti cake mix.
- Cake pops can be frozen for up to 2 months for future use.
