Bake cake as directed on package or in recipe.
When completely cool, break the cake into crumbs by hand in a large bowl. Mix in full can of frosting until well blended.
Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place on waxed paper.
Melt the candy melts as directed or in a melting pot.
Dip a lollipop stick about ½ inch into the melted chocolate and insert the stick into the rounded part of a cake ball. Repeat for remaining cake balls.
Place the cake pops in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, to firm.
Once the pops are firm, remove from the fridge/freezer and dip each into the melted chocolate, tapping excess chocolate off.
Use blue red and white candy-making melting chocolate to cover the balls.
Prop up pops, cake end down, on waxed paper while the chocolate is still slightly warm, so the candy hardens into a flat surface at the top (this will help your pops stand up when serving).
Finish the sprinkles before chocolate coating hardens.
