# Directions:

02 - In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
03 - Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl, then gradually mix in frosting until the mixture holds together and is moist but not soggy.
04 - Portion mixture into 24 equal pieces and roll each into a ball. Gently shape each ball into a slight oval form to resemble bunny heads.
05 - Place shaped cake pops on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate wafers according to package instructions using microwave or double boiler method.
07 - Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then carefully insert halfway into each cake pop to secure attachment.
08 - Dip each cake pop into melted white chocolate, gently rotating to coat evenly. Tap off excess coating and place upright in styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
09 - While coating is still wet, attach pink candy melts or colored chocolate shaped as ears. Add small marshmallow piece for bunny tail.
10 - Once coating sets completely, use edible marker or melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and whiskers. Add pink candy or chocolate for nose. Decorate with sprinkles or confetti as desired.
11 - Allow all cake pops to fully set before serving or storing.
