Ingredients

  • 1 box classic cake mix I used Duncan Hines
  • 3 eggs as required by the cake mix – this can vary with different brands
  • 1/3 cup oil as required by the cake mix– this can vary with different brands
  • 1 cup water as required by the cake mix– this can vary with different brands
  • 1/4 cup vanilla frosting pre-made
  • 12 oz pink candy melts
  • White sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Mix until well combined and smooth.
  • Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake according to the instructions on the box.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
  • Once the cake is completely cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
  • Add the vanilla frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until the mixture is well combined and holds together when pressed.
  • Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Freeze the cake balls for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are firm.
  • Melt the pink candy melts according to the package instructions, either in a microwave or using a double boiler.
  • Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into a cake ball (about halfway through). This helps secure the stick in the cake ball.
  • Dip the entire cake ball into the melted candy, turning it to coat evenly. Allow any excess coating to drip off.
  • While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the white sprinkles over the top for decoration.
  • Place the cake pop upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set. Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
  • Allow the cake pops to set completely at room temperature or in the fridge.
  • Once set, the cake pops are ready to be enjoyed! Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
