Ingredients

  • 1 box of your favorite cake mix (plus all ingredients needed, as listed on box)

  • 3/4 can prepared cream cheese frosting

  • White or blue chocolate melts -Wilton brand

  • Red chocolate melts

  • Blue, Red and White sprinkles and stars

  • 50 lollipop sticks

Instructions

  • Bake cake as directed on package or in recipe.

  • When completely cool, break the cake into crumbs by hand in a large bowl. Mix in full can of frosting until well blended.

  • Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place on waxed paper.

  • Melt the candy melts as directed or in a melting pot.

  • Dip a lollipop stick about ½ inch into the melted chocolate and insert the stick into the rounded part of a cake ball. Repeat for remaining cake balls.

  • Place the cake pops in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, to firm.

  • Once the pops are firm, remove from the fridge/freezer and dip each into the melted chocolate, tapping excess chocolate off.

  • Use blue red and white candy-making melting chocolate to cover the balls.

  • Prop up pops, cake end down, on waxed paper while the chocolate is still slightly warm, so the candy hardens into a flat surface at the top (this will help your pops stand up when serving).

  • Finish the sprinkles before chocolate coating hardens.
