Now is the time to make traditional cake pops, which couldn't be simpler. Well, it's simpler to buy them, but not as much fun.
To make traditional cake pops you buy a cake mix, make it according to the directions on the box, and bake in a 9x13" pan. I chose lemon cake and lemon icing, hoping the tang would calm the sweetness. Allow the cake to cool, then crumble into a large bowl. You then mix in some sort of binder, usually canned frosting, about 2/3 of a can, until it's a suitably gooey mess and that's it.
You then form into balls, or any other shape if you want to be creative, and then place on cookie sheet to freeze. After frozen, you bag them up into Ziplocs until ready for the final step, which I call.."will Mickey's ears stay on or fall off"?
Stay tuned for part 3, when I try to get both types of pops to stay on a stick and get dipped and sprinkled, all while trying to maintain a Mickey-ish look.
