Instructions:
- Bake the Cake:
- Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions.
- Prepare the cake mix as directed on the box and bake in a 9×13-inch pan.
- Allow the cake to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

- Make the Cake Pop Mixture:
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
- Add the frosting gradually to the cake crumbs, mixing until the mixture holds together like dough.
- Form the Cake Balls:
- Roll the cake mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 2 hours or freeze for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Insert the Sticks:
- Melt a small amount of the candy melts in the microwave.
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy and insert it into the centre of each cake ball. This helps secure the stick.

- Melt the remaining candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, gently tapping off any excess.
- Decorate immediately with sprinkles or other decorations before the coating sets.
