Bake your cake according to the recipe instructions and let it cool completely. Once cool, crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
Melt a small portion of your candy melts and dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy. Insert the coated end of the stick into a cake ball about halfway through. This will secure the sticks in place.
While the cake pops chill, melt your candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, following the package instructions. This is typically done with your microwave on 50% power at 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth.
Dip each cake pop into the melted candy melts, covering it completely. Allow any excess to drip off. Immediately decorate with sprinkles, nuts, or drizzled chocolate while the candy coating is still wet.
