# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven and bake cake according to package directions or homemade recipe. Cool completely before proceeding.
02 - In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
03 - Crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Gradually mix in frosting until the mixture holds together and is moist but not soggy.
04 - Portion mixture into 24 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and gently shape into a slight oval to resemble a bunny head.
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 in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring frequently to achieve smooth consistency.
07 - Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted white chocolate, then insert halfway into each frozen cake pop for secure attachment.
08 - Dip each cake pop into melted white chocolate, gently tapping to remove excess. Place upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.
09 - While coating is still wet, attach pink candy melts for ears and add a mini marshmallow piece for the tail. Allow to partially set.
10 - Using an edible marker or melted dark chocolate, draw eyes and whiskers. Add pink candy or chocolate for the nose. Decorate with sprinkles or confetti as desired.
11 - Allow cake pops to fully set at room temperature before serving.
