→ Frosting
03 - 4 oz cream cheese, softened
04 - 2 oz unsalted butter, softened
05 - 1 cup powdered sugar
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Coating & Decoration

# Steps:
01 - Preheat oven and bake the cake according to package directions or recipe instructions. Allow cake to cool completely to room temperature.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
03 - Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Gradually incorporate frosting into crumbled cake, mixing until the mixture holds together and remains moist but not wet.
04 - Divide mixture into 24 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently shape into a slight oval to resemble a bunny head.
05 - Arrange cake balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate wafers according to package instructions, using a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler method until completely liquid.
07 - Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted white chocolate, then insert halfway into each chilled cake ball to secure properly.
08 - Dip each cake pop into melted white chocolate, gently tapping off excess coating. Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely.
09 - While coating is still wet, attach pink candy melts or colored chocolate shaped as bunny ears. Secure a small piece of mini marshmallow at the base for the tail.
10 - Once coating has set, use edible black food marker or melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and whiskers. Apply pink candy or chocolate for the nose. Add sprinkles or confetti as desired.
11 - Allow all cake pops to fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
