Cake Pops!

Ingredients:
Cake mix
Vanilla or cream cheese icing
Icecream Scoop
Styrofoam blocks
Cake pop sticks (lollipop sticks)
Candy melts (whatever outside color you prefer)
Toppings of your choice

Process:
Step 1: Use the instructions on the cake mix box to create your cake
Step 2: Let the cake cool for about 20-30 minutes
Step 3: Cut half of the cake and add into blender OR bowl (if you want to hand mix it)
Step 4: Add icing "by eye" until the cake is sticky and stays together
Step 5: Grab your icecream scoop and scoop little balls onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
Step 6: Make sure the balls are very circular
Step 7: Repeat step 3-6 for the second half of the cake
Step 8: Melt a little bit of the candy melt (VERY LITTLE)
Step 9: One by one, dip the sticks into the melted candy melts and stick each stick into individual cake balls
Step 10: After all of the cake balls have one stick inside each of them, make room in your freezer
Step 11: Stick your cookie sheet with the cake balls (w/sticks) inside the freezer
Step 12: Make sure it is not touching anything or falling over
Step 13: Place both cookie sheets in the freezer or if there is no room, do it one cooking sheet at a time
Step 14: Keep it in the freezer for 12-15 minutes
Step 15: Melt the candy melt (in the microwave stirring frequently or over boiling water on a stove)
Step 16: Dip each of your candy balls into the melted chocolate and stick them into the Styrofoam so it stands up
Step 17: Right away add your toppings, before your chocolate hardens.
Step 18: Do that for the rest of the balls and enjoy~~
