Ingredients
- 1 box of vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup champagne (preferably pink or sparkling)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Pink candy melts for coating
- Sprinkles for decoration
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Bake the Cake: Prepare the vanilla cake mix according to package instructions, substituting champagne for part of the liquid. Bake in a 9×13-inch pan and let cool completely.
- Make the Cake Crumbs: Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat together butter, milk, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. Mix in a few tablespoons of champagne for added flavor.
- Combine: Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill: Freeze the cake balls for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip and Decorate: Insert lollipop sticks into the chilled cake balls, then dip them into the melted candy. Allow excess to drip off and immediately sprinkle with decorations before the coating sets.
- Chill Again: Place the dipped cake pops back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until set.
