Step 1
Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs. Add softened butter and frosting, stirring until the mixture holds together when pinched.
Step 2
Roll mixture into 12 evenly sized balls, about 1.5 inches across. Place on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 10 minutes.
Step 3
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Insert a stick into the top of each chilled cake ball, twisting gently to secure it.
Step 5
Dip each cake pop into melted chocolate, rotating to coat evenly. Let excess drip off for 3–5 seconds.
Step 6
Immediately dip coated top into sprinkles, then stand upright in a styrofoam block or tall glass. Let set at room temperature 5 minutes until chocolate hardens.
