- 1 (16.5 oz.) box Duncan Hines Blue Velvet cake mix prepared
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
- 2 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese softened

Instructions
- CAKE: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two jelly roll pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.

Turn the mixer on high and beat until light and fluffy. Fill a piping bag, fitted with a star tip, with cream cheese frosting.
- ASSEMBLE PUSH POPS: Using a Push Pop container as a cake cutter, cut the cakes to size, trim with a knife if necessary.
- Push a blue cake cut-out (using a trimmed base & stick) into the push pop container, pipe in frosting, and add sprinkles if desired, repeat with the red cake cut-out. Top with frosting and sprinkles.
