Bake the vanilla cake according to package directions in a 9x13-inch pan. Let cool completely.

Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl — use your hands or a fork to break it apart.

Add the vanilla frosting and mix until the crumbs hold together like a dough when squeezed.

Scoop and roll into 24 evenly sized balls (about 1.5 inches each). Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.

Melt the yellow candy melts with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each.

Melt the white candy melts separately with the remaining coconut oil.

Dip about 1/2 inch of each lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert into a cake ball. This acts as glue.

For chicks: dip the cake ball fully into yellow candy melts, tap gently to remove excess, and place upright in the styrofoam block. Immediately attach candy eyes and press a small triangle of orange fondant or sprinkle for the beak.

For bunnies: dip the cake ball into white candy melts. While wet, attach candy eyes. Let set. Then pipe or shape pink candy melt ears on parchment, let set, and attach with a dab of melted candy. Draw nose and whisker details with the pink food-safe marker.

Let all cake pops dry completely in the styrofoam block for at least 1 hour before serving.

Display in a vase, styrofoam block covered in Easter grass, or a cake pop stand.
