Equipment

Ingredients

For Cake:

  • 15.25 oz yellow cake mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water

Frosting

  • 1/3 cup vanilla frosting

Candy Coating & Decoration

  • 8 oz white candy melts
  • 8 oz orange candy melts
  • 8 oz yellow candy melts
  • 24 lollipop sticks
  • 2 tbsp sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven and prepare yellow cake mix according to box instructions using eggs, oil, and water. Bake in a 9x13-inch pan. Let cool completely.
  • Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add 1/3 cup vanilla frosting and mix until the texture resembles dough.
  • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Melt a small amount of white candy melts. Dip each lollipop stick tip into the melts, then insert halfway into a cake ball. This helps the stick stay in place.
  • Freeze the cake pops for 15 minutes until firm.
  • Melt white, yellow, and orange candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls, using 20-second intervals and stirring in between.
  • Dip each pop about 2/3 into melted yellow coating. Let set.
  • Then dip the bottom third in orange melts. Let set.
  • Finish by spooning or drizzling white melts on top.
  • While the coating is still wet, add sprinkles if desired. Stand pops upright in a foam block to dry completely.
  • Once dry, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container.
