Ingredients

1 baked cake (flavor of your choice)
A few tablespoons frosting
Lollipop sticks
Almond bark or chocolate to melt
Sprinkles to decorate (optional)

Instructions

Bake a cake, whatever kind you like. Can use box or homemade recipe. Let cake cool completely.

Mix (cooled) cake with mixer until cake is crumbled (can use stand mixer or a food processor).
Add a tablespoon of frosting at a time, mixing between, until you have a playdoh-like consistency. (Not too wet)
Form dough into small balls with hands, smashing and rolling like you would a meatball, making balls about an inch in diameter or slightly smaller than a ping-pong ball.
Put balls in freezer until ready to use.

Melt your candy. Can use almond bark or chocolate or any candy that you would melt to put in
frosting. Microwave the candy until it is just melted, then add food coloring if you like. If melted
candy becomes lumpy, add a tablespoon of butter-flavored Crisco and melt another 10-15 seconds in microwave.
You want a smooth consistency, but not too hot. Mix well.

Dip tip of lollipop sticks in melted candy, then into frozen cake balls. Either freeze cake balls again
with sticks attached or let them set until candy coating on bottom of cake ball hardens.

Dip cake ball into candy coating, then shake off excess candy coating by tapping stick against the side
of your bowl until candy coating forms smooth consistency around ball. If you want sprinkles, you
have to dip cake ball into sprinkles very quickly after coating. You can always double-dip after candy coating has hardened on the cake ball.

Work quickly! If your cake balls start to get too warm, they won't dip well, and you need to stick them back in the freezer for a few minutes.
After candy coating has hardened you can decorate with candy coating that you add food coloring to.
A ketchup-type bottle with a small tip to squeeze out the coating works great.
You can also decorate with a thick frosting using tips like you would on a cake.
