Instructions
- Bake the cake according to the package directions and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cake into fine crumbs.
- Add frosting gradually, mixing until the cake mixture is moist and easy to shape.
- Roll into 1–1½-inch balls and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Divide the melted white coating into small bowls and tint each one a soft pastel color.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the coating, then insert it into a cake ball.
