Starbucks Birthday Cake Pops are truly a one of a kind recipe. The perfect treat to make any time of the year.

Ingredients

  • 15 oz Pillsbury cake mix

  • 4 teaspoons of creamy supreme vanilla frosting

  • 1 bag of Wilton light red candy melts

  • 1 scant teaspoon of Crisco all vegetable shortening

  • Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Make your cake according to package directions, then cool completely on a wire rack. When cool, cut off the dark sides or edges.
  2. With clean hands, break up the cake and crumble to a medium-fine breadcrumb. Then add your frosting and mix and knead well until you can form a ball.
  3. Roll the mixture into balls; if you have a melon spoon or similar, push the mixture in, working around until you have a perfect balloon. Feel free to roll between your hands to achieve a smooth outer shape.
  4. In another saucepan, add about 1/3 of your melted candies and heat gently until completely melted. Working quickly and efficiently, dip a popsicle stick into the melted caramel, then stab it into the center of the cake ball. It will solidify and act as a kind of “glue.” When everything is done, put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, add the rest of the melted candies to your saucepan and once melted, add your butter. Transfer your coating to a tall glass.
  6. Take your cake pops out of the freezer and, one by one, dip them into the glass. Once covered, remove, sprinkle with sprinkles, and stand upright on your foam block.
  7. Let it rest for an hour, then enjoy with a good cappuccino.

Notes

The best way to make your Starbucks cakes perfect is to chill them before dipping. About 20 minutes in the freezer should do this. They will firm up well during this time.
