Pink Vanilla Cake Pops
Inspired by the coffee shop favorite, these pink vanilla cake pops are super easy to make and they're perfect for parties or just a weekend treat!
Ingredients
- 1 box classic cake mix (plus additional ingredients as directed on the box)
- 1/4 cup vanilla frosting
- 12 oz pink candy melts
- White sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the cake according to box instructions, and allow to cool completely after baking.
- Make the Cake Pops: 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.
- Shape the Cake Pops: 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.
- Coat the Cake Pops: 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.
- Decorate and Set: 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.
