These Starbucks Copycat Birthday Cake Pops are sweet, fun treats made with crumbled vanilla cake, frosting, and a white chocolate coating with sprinkles. Perfect for parties or a fun baking project at home!

Ingredients

  • 1 box white or vanilla cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box: eggs, oil, water)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate or white candy melts
  • Sprinkles (for decoration)
  • Cake pop sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the cake according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until it resembles fine crumbs.
  3. Add the vanilla frosting and mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the cake balls in the freezer for about 15–20 minutes until firm.
  6. Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  7. Dip one end of a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it into a cake ball. Repeat with all.
  8. Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess coating.
  9. Decorate immediately with sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
  10. Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely.

Notes

  • You can use homemade cake and frosting instead of boxed mix for a more personalized flavor.
  • If the coating is too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening to thin it.
  • Store cake pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
