# What You'll Need:
→ Cake
01 - 1 box (14 oz) vanilla or funfetti cake mix
02 - Cake mix required ingredients (eggs, oil, water as specified on package)
→ Frosting
03 - 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 2.1 oz unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar
06 - 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Coating and Decoration
07 - 14 oz white chocolate melting wafers or candy melts
08 - 24 lollipop sticks
09 - Pink candy melts or colored chocolate for ears and noses
10 - Edible black food marker or melted dark chocolate for eyes and whiskers
11 - Mini marshmallows for tails, optional
12 - Rainbow sprinkles or pastel confetti, optional
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven and bake cake according to box instructions or homemade recipe directions. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
03 - Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Gradually incorporate frosting mixture in small batches, stirring until combined. Mixture should be moist but hold together without becoming soggy.
04 - Divide mixture into 24 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Gently shape each ball into a slight oval to resemble a bunny head.
05 - Arrange formed cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate wafers according to package instructions using a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler method.
07 - Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted white chocolate, then carefully insert halfway into each frozen cake ball to secure placement.
08 - Dip each cake pop into melted white chocolate coating, allowing excess to drip off gently. Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
09 - While coating remains wet, affix pre-shaped pink candy melts or colored chocolate pieces to form ears. Add a small piece of mini marshmallow to the bottom for the tail.
10 - Once coating has set completely, use edible food marker or melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and whiskers. Apply pink candy or chocolate for the nose. Add sprinkles or confetti decorations as desired.
11 - Allow all cake pops to fully set at room temperature or in refrigeration before serving.
