For the Cake Pops
- 2 cups vanilla cake crumbs about 1 small cake, crumbled
- 1/2 cup cream cheese frosting room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Coating
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1-2 tsp vegetable oil to thin chocolate if needed
- Assorted sprinkles edible glitter, or colored sugar
For Assembly
- 20-24 lollipop sticks
- Mini Easter egg decorations optional, for extra cuteness
Prepare the Cake Base
Crumble the cake into fine pieces in a large mixing bowl. Make sure there are no big chunks—it helps the pops hold together better.
Add frosting and vanilla extract to the crumbs. Start with half the frosting, then gradually add more as needed.
Mix until combined using a spatula or your hands. The mixture should be sticky but moldable.
Pro Tip: If the mixture feels too dry, add a tiny bit more frosting—just enough so it sticks together without being gooey.
Shape the Cake Pops
Scoop a small amount of cake mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and roll it into an oval egg shape.
Place each shaped pop on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave a little space between each one.
Insert the lollipop stick halfway into each pop. Twist slightly to secure.
Pro Tip: Chill the pops in the fridge for 30 minutes before dipping. This prevents them from falling apart in the chocolate.
Melt the Chocolate Coating
Place white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
Add 1–2 tsp vegetable oil if the chocolate is too thick for dipping.
Pro Tip: Whisk continuously while melting to prevent lumps or burning.
Dip and Decorate the Pops
Hold a cake pop by the stick and dip it into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Gently tap off excess chocolate so it doesn’t pool at the bottom.
Decorate immediately with sprinkles, edible glitter, or small Easter-themed decorations.
Pro Tip: Work quickly—once the chocolate starts to set, sprinkles won’t stick properly.
Chill and Set
Place the decorated pops upright in a styrofoam block or a cup to keep them standing.
Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
Serve and enjoy! These pops are best within a day or two but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
