A simple and cost-effective recipe to recreate the popular Starbucks vanilla cake pops at home using vanilla cake mix, frosting, and candy melts.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 40 minutes
  • Yield: 15 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 box vanilla cake mix

⅓ cup french vanilla frosting

1 bag (12oz) light pink candy melts

White sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare the cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch or two 8×8-inch round baking dishes.

2. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

3. Let the cake cool completely. Once cooled, crumble it with a fork in a large bowl.

4. Stir the frosting into the crumbled cake, cover, and freeze until chilled.

5. Roll the chilled mixture into evenly sized balls. Freeze again until the balls are hard.

6. Once frozen, give the balls another quick roll to smooth them out and place them on a baking sheet.

7. Melt the candy melts in a microwave or a double boiler.

8. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into a cake ball. Repeat for all cake balls and place them back in the freezer to solidify.

9. Gently dip each cake pop into the melted candy, twirling to coat it completely.

10. Decorate with white sprinkles immediately.

11. Place the finished cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a box to allow the candy coating to harden.

Notes

Make sure the cake is fully cooled before mixing in the frosting to avoid melting.

Use a cookie scoop for uniform-sized cake balls.

Store finished cake pops in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
