These are so cute!I make cake pops often. What I do is put the whole cake into my kitchenaid with the paddle(the cake must be totally cooled) then turn on and crumble the cake. Then add the frosting into the bowl and mix until incorporated to desired consistency(I do not use even close to an entire container of frosting). Then I scoop right out of the bowl onto silpat liners.
One bowl, no messy hands or spoons, and a time saver.
