1-First Step: Prepare and Bake the Cake Bases Begin by following package instructions to prepare the chocolate cake mix. Bake the chocolate cupcakes until fully cooked, usually about 15–20 minutes at 350°F (175°C). While these cool, prepare the vanilla cake mix according to the package directions, then divide the batter evenly. To one half, fold in the strawberry gelatin mix thoroughly to create a strawberry-flavored batter. Bake vanilla and strawberry cupcakes separately in the same manner, allowing all cupcakes to cool completely to room temperature before proceeding. Using push pop containers or standard cupcake trays supports even baking.

2-Second Step: Prepare the Creamy Layer While the cupcakes are baking and cooling, mix the vanilla pudding powder with milk according to package instructions. Place the pudding in the refrigerator, allowing it to set fully, approximately 5–10 minutes. Once the pudding has firmed up, gently fold in about three quarters of the thawed whipped topping to create an airy, creamy mixture. This mixture will be used to layer between the cake pieces in the cake pops for added moisture and flavor contrast. Transfer the mixture to a resealable piping bag or decorator bag for neat assembly.

3-Third Step: Prepare the Cake Pop Pieces Cut the cooled chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry cupcakes into small, uniform bite-sized cubes about 1-inch pieces work best for layering and shaping. Use a clean sharp knife, dipping it in hot water between cuts to get smooth edges and avoid crumbs.

4-Fourth Step: Assemble the Neapolitan Cake Pops Using push pop containers or clear glass jars, begin layering by placing a layer of chocolate cake cubes at the bottom. Pipe or spoon a layer of the creamy pudding-whipped topping mixture over the chocolate cubes evenly. Add a layer of vanilla cake cubes next, followed by more pudding cream to bind the layers. Repeat with the strawberry cake cubes, completing the tri-flavor sequence, and finish by topping with the remaining whipped topping. Decorate the top with chocolate and pink sprinkles or cute marshmallow ice cream cone toppers for a festive look. This method creates eye-catching, portable neapolitan cake pops with distinct layers and flavors.

5-Final Step: Chill and Serve Refrigerate the assembled cake pops for at least 1–2 hours to allow layers to set well and meld flavors beautifully. Serve chilled straight from the refrigerator for refreshing, fun party treats that everyone will love. If you are planning ahead, cover the pops and keep refrigerated until ready to serve, ensuring freshness.
