These Cake Pops are a delight and can be made in a variety of shapes and flavors. It's just a matter of having the right ingredients, a lot of creativity and that's it. So, any boxed cake mix or your favorite cake recipe will work.
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.
