→ Cake Ingredients

01 - 1 box vanilla cake mix
02 - 1/3 cup French vanilla frosting
03 - 1 bag light pink candy melts, 12oz
04 - White sprinkles

# Steps:

01 - Mix cake mix, water, oil, and eggs according to package directions. Pour batter into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish or two 8x8-inch round dishes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
02 - Cool the cake completely. Crumble it into a large bowl or baking dish using a fork.
03 - Add the French vanilla frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix until fully combined. Cover and freeze until chilled.
04 - Roll the cake and frosting mixture into evenly sized balls using your hands. Freeze until firm. Re-roll the balls to smooth the sides, then place them on a baking sheet.
05 - Melt a small portion of the candy melts. Dip lollipop sticks into the melted candy, then insert them into the cake balls. Freeze until sticks are securely set.
06 - Melt the remaining candy melts in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy or spoon the candy onto the balls, ensuring an even coating. Decorate with white sprinkles if desired.
07 - Place the coated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or box to harden. Once set, they are ready to serve.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Freeze the cake and frosting mixture until firm before rolling for the best results.
