Red, White & Blue Cake Pops are bite-sized cake balls mixed with frosting, dipped in white chocolate, and decorated with patriotic sprinkles for a festive, fun treat perfect for 4th of July parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients to prepare)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla frosting
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • Red, white, and blue sprinkles
  • Red and blue gel food coloring
  • Lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Prepare and bake the white cake according to package instructions. Let it cool completely.
  2. Once cooled, crumble the cake into three separate bowls.
  3. Tint one bowl of crumbled cake red and another blue using gel food coloring. Leave the third bowl white.
  4. Add about 2 tablespoons of frosting to each bowl and mix until the crumbs hold together.
  5. Take a small amount from each color and gently press them together to form multicolored balls. Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour or freeze for 20 minutes.
  7. Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  8. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick in melted chocolate, then insert into a cake ball. Dip the entire ball into the melted chocolate to coat, gently tapping off the excess.
  9. Immediately decorate with red, white, and blue sprinkles. Stand upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
  10. Let cake pops set completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring to avoid altering the cake’s texture.
  • Chill cake pops well before dipping to help them stay on the stick.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
