Use an ice cream scoop. So that the amount of dough you use when making the balls is the same each time, you can support yourself with a spoon to serve ice cream, to take the same amount of dough, as many times as necessary.
Use a deep frosting mug. So that you can cover the cake pops completely with the chocolate, you can lean on a deep cup where you can completely submerge the cake balls with the help of the stick that you already inserted.
