Cake Pops – so simple so divine! Made with French Vanilla cake mix – extra plump, moist and customizable for any occasion. Joy on a stick – who knew?
Cake Pops! Wow! How can anything this simple be so absolutely, totally delicious?!? Have you tried the Birthday Cake flavor cake pops at Starbucks? Well, let me tell you, this easy to make, semi-home made version is even better! No joke. These, honestly, are some of The Best Cake Pops ever! I make them with a French Vanilla cake mix and a tub of premade frosting. The hardest part about making these is getting the candy coating melted enough to get a fairly smooth coating. Even if you don’t get a smooth coating, you probably will add some cute sprinkles or something and you won’t even notice the coating! I like to make my pops bigger than the ones from Starbucks. I mean, why not! The first time I ever had a cake pop was from a specialty Cake Pop store in Long Beach and theirs set the bar for size. Theirs were at least double the size of the ones from Starbucks and that’s how I make mine now. I can tell you it makes the whole fam pretty darn happy. I also like to serve and eat them when they are really cold, straight out of the fridge. Since these don’t have cream cheese in the frosting  (like red velvet cake balls– super amazing btw!), I don’t think that technically they have to be refrigerated.  I just significantly prefer them this way! I hope you give these babies a try soon!
Birthday Cake Pops-Better than Star-WHhhoooo!!!!!
