1/2 cake, cooked and cooled (or any amount you wish)
2 tablespoons frosting (or more as needed)
1 cup chocolate chips (or candy melts, may need more, depending on the size of your cake)
2 tablespoons candy sprinkles (optional)
12 lollipop sticks (may need more)

Steps:

Place cake in food processor until it has been reduced to fine crumbs (this can also be done by hand).
Add enough frosting to form a "dough". Be careful not to add too much!
Roll the dough into 1 - 1.5 inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
Melt the candy melts according to the instructions.
Dip a lollipop stick in melted candy melt, then stick about half way into a cake ball. Repeat with the rest of the cake balls and sticks.
Chill cake balls for 30 - 60 minutes. This helps the candy melts to harden, lessening the chances of the cake pop falling off the stick.
Melt the candy melts again. Dunk one of the cake pops in the melted candy melts and swirl until coated. Dip in sprinkles if desired. Place upright in a piece of styrofoam.
Repeat with remaining cake pops.
Wait 30-60 minutes until candy melts have hardened (you can speed up this process by using a fridge).
