These Starbucks Copycat Cake Pops are a delightful treat that combines moist vanilla cake with creamy vanilla frosting, all coated in smooth white chocolate and decorated with colorful sprinkles. Perfect for parties or an indulgent snack, these cake pops are fun to make and irresistible to eat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box: water, oil, and eggs)

For the Frosting and Coating:

  • 1 cup vanilla frosting
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Sprinkles for decoration
  • Lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Bake the Cake: Prepare and bake the vanilla cake according to the instructions on the box using a 9×13 inch pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before proceeding.
  2. Crumble and Mix: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large mixing bowl until there are no large pieces left. Add 1 cup of vanilla frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until well combined into a dough-like consistency.
  3. Form the Balls: Take portions of the cake mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
  4. Chill: Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball. Freeze the cake pops for about one hour or until they are firm enough for dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
  5. Dip and Decorate: Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Dip each chilled cake pop fully into the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles before the coating sets.
  6. Set: Stand the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a cake pop stand to allow the chocolate coating to harden completely. Once set, they are ready to serve and enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to achieve the best texture for the cake pops.
  • Freezing the cake balls before dipping is key to preventing them from falling apart in the chocolate coating.
  • You can use candy melts for easier melting and more vibrant colors compared to chocolate chips.
  • Decorate immediately after dipping to ensure sprinkles stick well.
  • Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
