Step 1: Bake the cakeYou should read carefully the package instructions. After that, prepare the vanilla cake mix with the required amount of water, oil, and eggs. Bake as instructed, then let the cake cool completely.
Step 2: Crumble and mixBreak down the cooled cake into small crumbs in a large bowl. Then, you add about 1/3 cup of vanilla frosting to it. You stir thoroughly until the mixture clings together when pressed.
Step 3: Shape the cake balls You roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch wide. Small balls will be put on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then, let them chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to make them firm.
Step 4: Prepare sticksYou heat a little pink candy melts in the microwave and dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted candy. Then, push the stick halfway into each cold cake ball. Waiting for about 10-15 minutes to freeze them.
Step 5: Coat and decorate Starbucks Cake PopsFirstly, you melt the remaining pink candy until smooth. Then, dip each cake pop into the melted candy, coating completely. You can decorate your cake pops with white nonpareil sprinkles if desired. Let the cake pops set upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand.
