PREPARATION DIRECTIONS
CAKE POP DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Set oven to 350°F. Line cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat cake mix, water, eggs and oil per package instructions. Pour batter into cupcake liners.
Step 3
Bake cupcakes for 19-23 minutes. Cool completely.
Step 4
Reserve nine cupcakes for Menorah base. Crumble remaining cooled cupcakes in an extra-large bowl by hand or with mixer on medium speed until fine crumbs.
Step 5
Spoon 1/2 cup of frosting into cake crumbs. Beat or mix until combined. Cover and freeze for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Line a baking pan with wax paper. Roll cake/frosting mixture into nine 2-inch balls. Place on prepared baking pan. Insert popsicle sticks into center of balls. Cover and freeze at least 1 hour.
Step 7
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and shortening. Microwave on high for 2 minutes stirring throughout. Microwave in additional 10-second intervals until completely melted and smooth when stirred.
Step 8
Remove a few cake pops from freezer, keeping the rest frozen. Spoon melted white chocolate over cake pop, turning as needed to completely cover. Allow excess to drip off.
Step 9
Immediately sprinkle white sugar sprinkles over each cake pop and then place on wax paper in freezer.
Step 10
Repeat until all 9 cake pops are covered in chocolate and sprinkles.
