Ingredients
For the Buttercream Frosting:
✅ ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, softened
✅ 2-2½ cups powdered sugar
✅ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✅ 1 tbsp heavy cream or milk
For the Cake Pops & Chocolate Coating:
✅ 1 box (15 oz) white cake mix, baked & cooled
✅ 10 oz pastel-colored melting wafers
✅ 10 oz white chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli preferred)
✅ Food coloring (optional)
✅ Sprinkles, jimmies, or other decorations
✅ 20 cake pop sticks
Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Frosting: Beat butter until creamy, then mix in powdered sugar, vanilla, and heavy cream until thick and smooth.
2️⃣ Prepare the Cake Balls: Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs. Mix in 2 spoonfuls of buttercream and gradually add more until the cake holds together. Roll into balls and freeze for 10 minutes.
3️⃣ Melt the Chocolate: Microwave pastel and white melting wafers separately in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Add food coloring if desired.
4️⃣ Assemble the Cake Pops: Dip a cake pop stick into melted chocolate, then insert it into a cake ball. Repeat for all cake pops and freeze for 20 minutes.
5️⃣ Dip & Decorate: Coat each cake pop in melted chocolate, tap off excess, and decorate with sprinkles or a drizzle of extra white chocolate.
6️⃣ Set & Serve: Place upright in a styrofoam block or a glass filled with M&M’s to set. Chocolate will harden in about an hour.
