Bake the Cake: Follow the instructions on the cake mix box to bake the cake. Let it cool completely.

Crumble the Cake: Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl. Use your hands or a fork to break it into small pieces.

Mix with Frosting: Add the frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix well until you reach a dough-like consistency.

Shape into Balls: Take small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can make them any size you like.

Insert Lollipop Sticks: Melt a small amount of candy melts and dip one end of a lollipop stick into the melted candy. Then, push the stick into the cake ball. Repeat for all the balls.

Chill: Put the cake pops in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

Melt Candy Coating: While the cake pops chill, melt your candy melts according to the package instructions.

Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each chilled cake pop into the melted candy until fully coated. Let the excess drip off.

Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with festive decorations if desired.

Set: Place the coated cake pops upright in a foam block or stand to let them set completely.
