At $5.99 per package, that's roughly $1.50 each, making this option much cheaper than Starbucks' version, which can cost about $3.25 a pop. Target customers love the taste of these cake pops. Some shoppers shared their thoughts on the Target product page, comparing Target's cake pops to Starbucks. "These cake pops are delicious! Equally as good as Starbucks," while someone else argued, "These taste better than Starbucks cake pops! They taste close to homemade ones."
