Raccoon-Shaped Cake Pops

Starbucks is Selling a New Raccoon Cake Pop This Fall

— August 24, 2024 — Lifestyle
Starbucks' fall bakery menu has arrived and this time around it features the cheeky new Raccoon Cake Pop.

Lovingly crafted after the curious trash pandas, the new Raccoon Cake Pops are surprisingly realistic in design. Each one of the cake pops consists of moist vanilla cake mixed with buttercream and dipped in icing that resembles a raccoon-face design. The cake pop even has pointy little ears and dark rings around the eyes.

Alongside the new Raccoon Cake Pop, Starbucks' Fall 2024 menu will also include the returning Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin. This fan-favorite item consists of a soft pumpkin muffin filled with sweet cream cheese in the center and topped with some crunchy spiced pepitas. Both of the seasonal items are available now for a limited time.
