- 1 box Funfetti or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients listed on the box – typically eggs, oil, and water)
- 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
- 12 oz candy melts (white or color of choice)
- Sprinkles, for decorating
- Cake pop sticks
- Prepare and bake the Funfetti cake according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until fine crumbs form.
- Add frosting a spoonful at a time and mix until the cake holds together when pressed. You may not need the entire 1/2 cup.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
- Melt candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip one end of a cake pop stick into the melted candy, then insert it halfway into a cake ball. Repeat with remaining balls.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy coating, tapping off excess gently.
- Immediately top with sprinkles before the coating hardens.
- Place the coated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
- Allow to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly to speed up the process.
Notes
- Do not add too much frosting or the cake pops will be too soft.
- If the candy coating is too thick, add a small amount of vegetable shortening to thin it out.
- Cake pops can be made ahead and stored in the fridge or freezer.
