1
Make the Pumpkin Cake: Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
2
Beat eggs and sugar together in a bowl until blended. Beat in oil. Sift flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt over egg mixture; fold dry ingredients gently into egg mixture. Fold pumpkin puree into batter. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake at 350u00b0 until a skewer into center of cake comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
3
Make the Frosting: Cream together the first 3 ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until fluffy. Add vanilla to bowl; mix well. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
4
Make the Pumpkin Cake Pops: When cake is cool enough to handle, crumble into a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup chilled cream cheese frosting to bowl; mix well with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula. The mixture should stick together firmly; add more Cream Cheese Frosting if necessary. Roll the cake mixture into 16 (1-inch) balls and place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes (or chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours).
5
Heat candy melts according to package instructions until melted; stir in coconut oil. Remove cake balls from freezer or refrigerator. Dip the end of a white lollipop stick into the melted candy melts (about 1/4 of the way up the the stick); insert dipped end of lollipop stick into a cake ball. Return the cake pop to parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining 15 cake balls. Freeze cake balls 10 minutes.
6
Reheat candy melts on LOW, if necessary (add an additonal 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil, if mixture seems too stiff). Remove cake balls from freezer. Dip the cake pops into the melted candy melts to fully cover, lightly tapping lollipop stick to remove excess. Repeat with remaining cake pops. Decorate as desired using decorating icings and sprinkles.
