Add the wet ingredients butter, eggs, vanilla, and milk to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend everything until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be thick and pourable. Next, add color by dividing the batter into small bowls and mixing in a drop or two of pastel food coloring. This will make each cake pop bright and festive.

Step Four

Pour the batter into the pan, filling each cavity about halfway. This helps the cakes hold their shape without overflowing. then Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Step Five

Now it’s time to decorate: Once the cakes have cooled, pipe the frosting onto the cakes, either directly or using a piping bag. Then add sprinkles, drizzles, zigzags, or dots. You can also dip the cakes in melted white chocolate for a glossy, icing-like finish.

Finally: Let the frosting dry for at least 10 minutes before serving. This helps the frosting set and keeps your hands clean.
