Place the cake/cake scraps in a bowl and break into smaller pieces.
Add ¾ of the buttercream to the cake crumbs, Mix well. Test it to see if it is too dry, if so add more buttercream.
Form you cake balls. One ounce (about 30g) is a great size. Optionally use a #100 disher/cookie scoop. Place on parchment/wax paper and freeze for 10 minutes to set.'
Meanwhile melt the chocolate and prepare the decorations.
Remove the cake balls from the freezer., Place a dab of chocolate on your gloved palm and roll a call ball to coat lightly. Repeat with remaining cake balls.
Time to insert the sticks. Dip one end of the stick about 1-inch (2.5cm) into some melted chocolate. Shake off the excess chocolate. Press the stick into a call ball about half way through. Repeat until all cake balls have sticks.
Coating the cake pops. I found it is best to use a fork/spoon to coat the pop as opposed to dipping it. When I dip, I lose too many. Shake off the excess chocolate then sprinkle with the desired topping. Repeat on the others.
Enjoy!
