Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Then line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pour the dry cake mix out onto the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Then take the baking sheet out of the oven and let it cool on a cooling rack.
15.25 oz box white or vanilla cake mix
In a medium mixing bowl add in the cream cheese and beat with a hand mixer until creamy.
8 oz block cream cheese
Add in the cake mix to the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until it’s fully combined.
Divide the batter into 6 equal portions and separate each ball into 6 separate bowls.
Add the different food coloring gels into the separated balls of dough, then mix until the dough is fully colored. Add a few drops red to one bowl, a few drops of orange to one bowl, a few drops of yellow to one bowl, and repeat with green, blue, and purple.

Cover each bowl with plastic wrap and place them in the fridge for an hour.
Prepare another baking sheet with parchment paper.
Start with the red dough and pull off about 1- 1 1/4 inch sized pieces and flatten them out with your fingers. Place it onto the parchment paper and repeat until you are out of red dough.
Make an orange layer by doing the same thing as you did with the red. Pull off 1- 1 1/4 inch pieces and flatten them with your finger and place each orange piece on top of the red dough. Continue stacking the colors in rainbow order red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
Gently roll each stack of dough into a ball and then place each one onto the baking sheet. Place them in the fridge for another hour to set.
Place the melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl and melt in 30 second increments until melted.

Notes
If you are making cake pops to get a round smooth finish, once dipped in chocolate place sticks in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set. Adding a teaspoon of coconut oil will give the chocolate a glossier look.Add a teaspoon of your favorite extract to the cake mix for added flavor. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days.
