Cake Pops

Cake pops are so fun to make. I've made them a couple times now, they can be a bit tricky but each time I learn from small mistakes. Reguardless of the mistakes they still look pretty good!
How to make them:
Bake a cake, let it cool (trust me on this I learned the hard way by not letting it cool)
Crumble cake and slowly mix in any favorite icing (chocolate, vanilla homemade or store bought) Don't mix in too much icing, I also did that :). If you mix in too much it gets too sticky and is really hard to dip into the chocolate dip without it dropping off the stick into the mix.
Roll out into balls (one cake mix will make about 50 balls). Refrigerate
Once cooled, dip the loli pop sticks into the chocolate melt (or you can use vanilla or whatever flavor or melts you prefer) and then stick the sticks into the cake pops. Put back into the frig to set.
After cooled now dip into melted chocolate or whatever flavor of melt you like (I used chocolate and white chocolate) then you can dress with sprinkles, coconut, nuts etc.
The most helpful video on this was by Stephanie Jaworski. She has tons of wonderful advice. The video is a little long though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DfL6B6Vpus
