# What You'll Need:
→ Cake
01 - 1 box (14 oz) vanilla or funfetti cake mix
02 - Ingredients as specified on cake mix box (typically eggs, oil, water)
→ Frosting
03 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 2 oz unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar
06 - 1/2 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)
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Preheat oven and bake the cake according to package directions or homemade recipe. Allow to cool completely before proceeding.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
03 - Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Gradually mix in the frosting, adding small amounts at a time, until the mixture holds together and reaches a moist but not soggy consistency.
04 - Portion the mixture into 24 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Gently shape each ball into a slight oval to resemble a bunny head.
05 - Place shaped cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to firm up before coating.
06 - Melt white chocolate wafers according to package instructions using a microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
07 - Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then carefully insert halfway into each chilled cake ball to secure the stick.
08 - Dip each cake pop into the melted white chocolate coating, gently tapping off excess. Stand upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
09 - While the coating remains wet, attach pink candy melts or colored chocolate pieces shaped as ears to the top of each cake pop. Add a small piece of mini marshmallow to the base for the tail.
10 - Once the coating has set, use an edible black food marker or melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and whiskers on each cake pop. Apply pink candy or chocolate for the nose. Add sprinkles or confetti as desired.
11 - Allow all cake pops to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate before serving.
