Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box)
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1 cup frosting
Coating
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Other
- 12 cake pop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare and Bake Cake: Follow the package instructions to prepare the vanilla cake mix, then bake it in a 9×13-inch pan. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely to ensure it holds together well when forming the pops.
- Crumble and Mix: Break the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Add the frosting and rainbow sprinkles, then mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and sticky enough to hold shape.
- Form Cake Balls: Roll the cake mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Insert Sticks: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals and stirring in between to achieve a smooth consistency. Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert the stick halfway into each cake ball. This helps secure the stick in place.
- Coat Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the remaining melted white chocolate, coating it fully. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off by gently shaking or tapping the sticks.
- Set Cake Pops: Place the coated cake pops back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate coating hardens completely.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is fully cooled before mixing with frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
- If the cake mixture is too crumbly to roll, add a little more frosting until it holds together.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with candy melts for easier melting and coating.
- Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Decorate cake pops with extra sprinkles immediately after dipping before the chocolate sets for extra flair.
