Birthday Cake Pops with Sprinkles

Step 1

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Cool cake on a wire rack.

Step 2

Crumbled cake with a fork or your hands.

Step 3

Mix in frosting. Add just enough so that cake holds together when formed into a ball. (It's easiest to do this with your hands.)

Step 4

Roll a heaping tablespoon of cake mixture into a ball.

Step 5

Place ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat process with remaining cake.

Step 6

Refrigerate cake pops for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour.

Step 7

Melt a few candy melts in a small bowl.

Step 8

Dip the end of the lollipop stick into the melted candy, then press into a chilled cake pop. Repeat with remaining cake pops, then return pops to refrigerator until candy hardens.

Step 9

Melt one package of candy melts in a small bowl according to package directions. Place sprinkles in a separate bowl

Step 10

Dip a cake pop into the candy melts, coating entire pop. Rotate pop and gently tap on edge of bowl to remove excess candy.

Step 11

Immediately cover cake pop with sprinkles. (Do this over a bowl, so you can catch the excess sprinkles and reuse them.)

Step 12

Return cake pop to tray, then repeat process with remaining cake pops. Reheat candy melts (and add more to bowl), as needed.

Step 13

Refrigerate cake pops until ready to serve. Enjoy!
