Crumble the cooled cake on top of the frosting. Still using the paddle attachment, mix the cake with the frosting until there are no lumps over low speed.
Measure about 2 tablespoons of the batter to roll into a ball. Make sure the balls are perfectly round as this will be the shape of the cake pops. Place the balls on a lined baking tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours.
While the cake pops are in the refrigerator, get your toppings ready and plan where you want the cake pops to set upright. You can use either a Styrofoam box or a box with little holes for the lollipop sticks.
Melt the candy melts or melting chocolate wafers in a 2-inch measuring cup following the directions on the back of the package.
Taking 3 balls out of the refrigerator at a time, take a lollipop stick and dip into the melted candy melts about a ½ inch. Push the dipped lollipop stick into the center of the cake pop until halfway. Be very careful not to push the lollipop stick too far into the other side.
Dip the cake pop into the melted candy melts until completely covered with the base of the lollipop stick covered. Very gently, tap the lollipop stick against the side of the measuring cup to remove any excess. It also helps to sometimes roll the cake pops until the excess drips off.
Decorate the cake pops with the toppings and let it set in an upright position. Repeat with the remaining cake pops, only pulling out the cake pops from the refrigerator as needed. Please try to work fast during this time as the melting candy melts could start to set in the measuring cup.
The coating for the cake pops should set within the hour. Enjoy!
