Step 14 of 15

Remove 3-4 cake balls from the freezer, leaving the rest inside so they stay as cold as possible. Dip a cake ball in the melted chocolate, tapping the stick gently against the side of the bowl to encourage the excess to drip off. Place the cake pop right-side up in a cake pop stand. Repeat, continuing to work in batches of 3-4 at a time, until all the cake pops are coated in chocolate.
