Mix with your hands until you can form the cake and frosting mixture into firm balls.
Place balls onto a sheet pan lined with wax paper and put in the freezer to set for 35 minutes.
Pour the chocolate wafers into a glass bowl and put in microwave for 30 seconds at a time stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
Dip the ends of the straws into your melted chocolate and press into center of cake balls securing your cake ball to the stick.

Set cake pops on wax paper and let the chocolate harden completely.
Melt another color of chocolate wafers- pour into a ziplock bag, and use the bag as a chocolate pen by snipping one of the corners of the bag with a pair of scissors.
