Instructions
- Instructions for the Cake Pops: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare one 9x13 inch or two 8-inch cake pans by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add ½ tablespoon vinegar to milk and stir to combine. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Mix in vanilla extract and food coloring until combined.
- Add flour mixture to butter mixture one cup at a time, alternating with milk mixture until all ingredients have been added.
- In a small bowl, combine remaining 1 teaspoon of vinegar with baking soda. Pour mixture into batter and mix until incorporated.
- Pour batter into prepared baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, make the icing by beating together the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time, alternating with one tablespoon of milk until all ingredients are combined.
- Pour the cake into the bowl with the icing and stir to combine. Place the cake and icing mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Take the cake mixture out of the refrigerator after it has chilled and form into 24 balls. Place the balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
- While the cake balls are chilling, melt the candy coating according to package instructions. Dip each cake pop stick into the melted candy coating and stick one stick into each ball. Place the cake pops back into the refrigerator to chill after the stick has been placed. When the candy coating has hardened, dip the cake ball into the candy coating until the ball is completely covered. Top with sprinkles if desired.
- Place the coated cake pops back in the refrigerator to chill until the candy coating has hardened.
- To make the Ribbon Toppers: Cut pink ribbon into six-inch pieces and fold to form an awareness ribbon. Secure the center with a drop of hot glue.
- Allow the glue to set then place a ribbon on top of each cake pop.
