Directions

  1. 1
    Bake cake according to package directions. Allow cake to cool completely.
  2. 2
    Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl. It should be the texture of sand. Make sure there are no large chunks.
  3. 3
    Add 1/3 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake. Use a mixer or wooden spoon to mix the frosting and cake until fully incorporated.  Test the dough by trying to roll a small cake ball between your hands. If the dough does not stick together, add additional frosting 1 tablespoon at a time. Avoid adding too much frosting as this may create mushy cake pops that fall off their sticks.
  4. 4
    Use a small cookie scoop to portion cake mixture evenly. Gently roll each portion into a 1" ball between 2 clean hands.
  5. 5
    Place rolled balls on parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. 6
    Follow the package directions to prepare 1 tablespoon of melted chocolate wafers. Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert about halfway into the cake ball. Once the sticks have all been inserted, place the cake pops into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  7. 7
    Follow package directions and melt 2 cups of candy wafers + 1/2  tablespoon of coconut oil in a small bowl or mug (you should be able to dip the cake pop without the top hitting the bottom). Allow melted chocolate to cool for 3-4 minutes before step 7 to help avoid cracked cake pops.
  8. 8
    Take the cake pops from refrigerator and quickly dunk them into the melted chocolate.
  9. 9
    Remove and gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to let excess coating drip off. Allow cake pops to dry in an upright position.
  10. 10
    Once cake pops have dried, prepare about 1/4 cup of white chocolate melting wafers according to package directions.
  11. 11
    Add melted chocolate to a piping bag (you can use a sandwich size Ziplock bag as well). Use sharp scissors to snip a very small amount of the piping bag tip. Choose a cake pop, and drizzle the melted chocolate on the top.
  12. 12
    Moving quickly, add sprinkles to the melted chocolate drizzle. It will dry quickly. Repeat the drizzle, and the sprinkle for each cake pop.
