Directions

Mix cake batter according to package directions and stir in sparkling wine ﬂavor.

Pour batter into a 9x13-inch baking pan and bake according to package directions. Allow to cool.

To make buttercream frosting, mix butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Add sparkling wine ﬂavor to taste and, if desired, add pink food coloring.

Carefully remove browned edges of cake and crumble the remaining into a large bowl.

Stir in frosting until mixture holds together. Shape into 1 ½-inch balls and place on lined baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate wafers at 50% power in 30-second intervals until smooth.

Remove cake balls from freezer. Dip about ¼-inch of lollipop stick into melted candy and insert 2⁄3 of the way into cake ball.

Dip cake pops one at a time into melted white chocolate, tapping lightly to remove excess. Immediately sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired.

Refrigerate cake pops in an airtight container.
