Cake pops

[abstibus]

Has anyone made these? I'm thinking of trying but don't want to have to buy the gadget from Lakeland if possible. It's not that I'm mean, but you know how gadgets tend to have a very short shelf life before they migrate to the back of the cupboard.
I would also like some ideas on decoration if you don't mind sharing.
All the sites I have been to do not really inspire me.
TIA

Kit with all the bits and a decorating kit for 12.00 plus p and p or you can do the traditional way of crumbling cake and mixing it with butter icing then rolling into balls.

Seriously though - are they nice? It seems an awful lot of effort for a tiny mouthful of cake.

Thanks, both. I know they can be fiddly to make but the result is worth it.
