Ingredients
Scale
Cake Base:
- 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
- 2 large eggs
Coating and Decoration:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white candy melts
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
Filling:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) frosting (store-bought or homemade)
Instructions
- Prepare cake mix following package guidelines, using a greased baking pan. Bake until the cake achieves a golden-brown hue, typically 25-30 minutes at recommended temperature.
- Allow cake to cool completely, then meticulously crumble into fine, uniform texture within a spacious mixing bowl.
- Incorporate frosting gradually, blending until the mixture achieves a cohesive, moldable consistency that maintains shape when gently compressed.
- Craft uniform spherical shapes using approximately one tablespoon of mixture, positioning each delicately on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Gently melt candy coating using precise microwave intervals or double boiler method, ensuring smooth, lump-free consistency.
- Submerge each cake ball halfway into the warm coating, allowing excess to gently drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle coconut flakes over the wet coating, creating a textured, snow-like appearance that mimics fluffy bunny tails.
- Rest cake pops on parchment paper, permitting coating to solidify and coconut to adhere completely, approximately 15-20 minutes at room temperature.
Notes
- Crumble cake completely cool for best texture, avoiding any large cake chunks that might make shaping difficult.
- Use cream cheese frosting for extra moisture and binding power, creating smoother cake pop consistency.
- Chill cake balls briefly before dipping to prevent them from falling apart in melted candy coating.
- Work quickly when coating with coconut to ensure even coverage while candy melts remain wet and sticky.
