Ingredients
- 1 box basic cake mix plus ingredients required on the box
- ¼ cup vanilla frosting
- 12 ounces pink candy melts
- White sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the cake mix box.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until well mixed. Follow the directions on the box to bake a 9x13-inch cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake tin and bake according to the box instructions.
- Let the cake cool completely at room temperature.
Make the Cake Pops
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor with a paddle attachment.
- Add 1/4 cup of vanilla frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until everything holds together when pressed.
- Scoop out small portions of the cake mixture using a cookie scoop and roll them into balls. Place the cake balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Decorate the Cake Pops
- Melt the pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler according to package instructions. If using the microwave, be sure not to overcook the chocolate melts.
- Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted candy coating and insert it into the center of the cake ball.
- Dip the entire cake pop into the candy coating, letting the excess coating drip off before placing it in a styrofoam block to set.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with white sprinkles. Let the cake pops set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
