Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix crumbled cake and frosting in a bowl until a dense dough forms. Scoop 12 evenly-sized balls and roll between your palms until smooth.

  2. Step 2

    Melt white chocolate and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until glossy.

  3. Step 3

    Divide melted chocolate into small bowls. Add 3 drops of gel coloring to each bowl (pink, blue, purple) and stir until pastel shade.

  4. Step 4

    Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then into a cake ball to secure it.

  5. Step 5

    Dip each cake pop into a pastel chocolate bowl, then immediately roll in rainbow sprinkles before chocolate sets.

  6. Step 6

    Stand cake pops upright in a cup or bowl to set for 2 minutes, then serve immediately.
