Just bake a normal cake from a box. Let it cool completely. Blend it up in a food processor or blender and put into a bowl. Add about 3/4 container of frosting. Using the back of a metal spoon, mash the frosting in until it disappears. Make sure it's well mixed or you'll have portions that won't hold together.
Use a cookie scoop or just spoons to scoop the dough so it will make a ball 1-1.5 inches thick, roll it in your hands and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for 45 min+ or freeze for about 15 min. You want them chilled but not frozen.
Melt candy coating as instructed in a deep, plastic bowl or cup. Dip a sucker stick about 1/2 inch into the candy, then place into one of the cake balls. This will make it stronger so it doesn't fall off the stick. Don't push it more than halfway in. Dip the entire thing into the candy coating. Gently rotate or tap to smooth the candy out.
If you want sprinkles or something else on it, now's the time to add it. Use styrofoam blocks or 2x4s with holes drilled in, or a cardboard box with holes poked in to hold the pops while they harden.
If you want cake balls rather than pops, just use a spoon to dip into the candy coating, then slide it back onto the wax paper.
