Steps:

• 1. Bake cake as directed on box for a 9 X 13 cake. Cool completely and crumble into a large bowl. 2. Mix up to 3/4 of a recipe of frosting into the cake crumbs using a large spoon. You won't need the rest of the icing. 3. Roll mixture into 1.25-inch balls and place on a wax paper covered baking sheet. You can also use an ice cream scoop and then roll the balls. 4. Place cake balls in the freezer for about 15 minutes so they will firm up. Then transfer them to the refrigerator to remain chilled and avoid freezing. 5. Melt white candy coating in a heatproof plastic bowl so that the coating is at least three to four inches deep for easier dipping. Melt in the microwave in 30-second intervals on low, stirring in between. Repeat until melted and smooth. 6. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted white candy coating and insert stick into the cake ball. Dip the entire cake pop into the bowl of melted candy coating. Dip and remove in one motion without stirring. Make sure the entire cake ball is covered. If your coating is too thick, you can add a little vegetable oil to help thin it and make it easier to work with. 7. Remove and allow any excess coating to fall off the pop and back in the bowl. 8. Place in a Styrofoam block to dry (grooms). Place (brides) on a cookie sheet with the stick up to dry. 9. For grooms, melt dark chocolate candy coating in microwave, as above.
