Instructions
Bake and Cool the Cake
Bake the cake according to package directions in a 9x13 inch pan. Let the cake cool completely to room temperature, then crumble it by hand into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Make sure there are no large chunks remaining.
Form the Cake Balls
Add frosting to the cake crumbs a little at a time, mixing until the mixture holds together when pressed but is not sticky or wet. Roll into 1.5 inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Insert Sticks and Dip
Melt candy melts with coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the coating, then insert into each cake ball. Now dip each pop fully into the coating, letting excess drip off.
Decorate and Dry
While the coating is still wet, let kids add sprinkles and decorations immediately. Insert the sticks into a styrofoam block to hold them upright and let the coating set completely at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving.
