Once they have been frozen, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. Then place on a baking sheet.

Melt candy melts in the microwave or in a double boiler. Dip the lollipop sticks into the pink chocolate, then stick into one of the cake balls.

Don’t remove all the cake balls from the freezer at once. Take a little bit out at a time so they are easier to work with.
