2. Add 2 spoonfuls of buttercream frosting to the cake
3. Combine with your hands or a spoon

7. Roll into a ball and place onto a plate
8. Repeat until all the cake mixture has been formed into balls

8. A deep, 2 cup measuring cup will allow you to dip the cake pop in the chocolate, or in a shallow dish, you can spoon the melted chocolate over the cake pop
9. Once coated in chocolate, gently tap the stick on the side of the melting dish to let the excess drip off
10. You can also spin or twirl the cake pop to remove the excess
