Ingredients

  • 1 box classic cake mix
  • eggs oil, and water (check the box of your cake mix for quantities)
  • 1/4 cup vanilla frosting
  • 12 oz pink candy melts
  • White sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven according to the temperature on the cake mix box and lightly grease a baking pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth and lump-free.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake as directed on the package. Allow the cake to cool fully before handling.
  • Break the cooled cake into small crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
  • Add the vanilla frosting and mix until the texture becomes dough-like and holds together when pressed.
  • Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into evenly sized balls, placing them on a parchment-lined tray.
  • Place the tray in the freezer for 15–20 minutes until the cake balls become firm.
  • Melt the pink candy melts as instructed on the package, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  • Dip the end of a cake pop stick into the melted candy, then insert it halfway into a cake ball to secure it.
  • Submerge the entire cake ball in the melted candy, gently twirling to coat evenly. Let any extra coating drip off.
  • Sprinkle white decorations over the coated cake pop while the candy is still wet.
  • Set the cake pops upright in a holder or block of styrofoam and let them harden completely.
  • Once firm, they are ready to serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
