Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions and prepare the mix in a greased baking pan. Bake for 25–30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  2. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the cream cheese frosting and gently combine until the mixture is dough-like and holds together.
  4. Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for about 30 minutes.
  6. Melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  7. Stir in coconut oil until fully mixed for a glossy finish.
  8. Insert lollipop sticks into each chilled cake ball and dip into the melted chocolate, sprinkling immediately with decorations.
  9. Set the cake pops upright in a cup or stand until the chocolate is firm.
