Funfetti Cake Pops
Funfetti Cake Pops are the ultimate party treat—fun, colorful, and easy to make! Whether you’re rescuing a baking fail or whipping up a last-minute dessert, these sprinkle-studded bites will steal the show.
Ingredients
- 1 box Funfetti cake mix baked as directed, or 4 cups crumbled leftover cake
- ½ –¾ cup vanilla frosting just enough to bind
- 2 cups candy melts white, pink, or rainbow
- ¼ cup rainbow sprinkles plus extra for decorating
- 20 –25 lollipop sticks
- 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for smoother melting
- Styrofoam block or colander for drying
Instructions
- Bake & Crumble: Bake cake as directed, then let it cool. Crumble into fine pieces using your hands or a fork.
- Mix & Shape: Add frosting 2 tbsp at a time, mixing until the dough holds together (like Play-Doh). Roll into 1.5-inch balls and place on a baking sheet.
- Chill: Freeze the cake balls for 20 minutes (or refrigerate for 1 hour).
- Melt Coating: Microwave candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between. Add 1 tsp coconut oil if too thick.
- Stick & Dip: Dip the tip of each lollipop stick in melted coating, then insert halfway into a cake ball. Let set for 5 minutes.
- Coat & Decorate: Dip each pop into melted coating, twirl to remove excess, and immediately sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.
- Dry & Serve: Stick pops into a Styrofoam block or colander to dry. Let set at room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Make it vegan: Use vegan cake mix, dairy-free frosting, and vegan chocolate.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Freeze uncoated cake balls for up to 3 months.
