1/4 to 1/2 cup prepared frosting of your choice
24 lollipop sticks

In a microwave, melt candy coating. Dip the tip of 1 end of a lollipop stick into candy coating, then insert into bottom of egg. Holding cake pop over melted candy coating, spoon coating over cake until entire egg is covered, allowing excess to drip off. Decorate as desired. Insert cake pops into a foam block to stand. Let stand until set.
