5 from 2 reviews

This copycat Starbucks cake pops recipe combines soft, dense cake, with a rich, smooth white chocolate coating. Every bite of 'em is just as addicting as the last, and they're so, so easy to make. In fact, just 10 minutes of prep work is all you need to whip these up. Best of all though, these taste spot-on just like the cake pops from Starbucks.
