You must either have a specialty cake pop pan in which to bake the pops, or you can bake a cake and crumble it up and mix it with frosting and form the mixture in to balls.

I'm pretty sure there are bakeries out there that carry cake pops and there may even be a select few completely dedicated to cake pops. However, cake pops are mostly a custom order item from small businesses aka. cake poppers online. Chances are if you go a search online for cake pops in your area, you will find someone. Etsy.com features a variety of cake pop stores. If you can't find someone in your local area, many cake poppers ship their goodies too.

Cake pops
As far as cake pops being popular with children, this is a subjective matter. Cake pops look cute and trendy and are probably fun to make, but the size of them is small and most kids would probably prefer cupcakes which are bigger.

This depends on which baker you're getting them from and if it's a basic cake pops or specialty design/character cake pop. In the US they range from $1.50 - $4/pc.
There are plenty of bakers with small home based businesses (especially in the US) who make specialty cake pops and of course bakeries that carry cake pops. Just do an online search for cake pops in your city/town with zip code and you should be able to find options. Etsy.com is also a good place to look for cake pop bakeries. Most of them will ship if they are not close to you.
Cake pops sound good, I wonder why I have never heard of them before until recently. They are a very fun activity to do with children. The main ingredient(s) are cake crumbs, icing or chocolate.
For making cake pops you will need box cake mix of your choice, baked and cooled, some creamy frosting, white candy melts, lollipop sticks, and candy colours and decorations.
If you would like to make cake pops they are easy. Make a cake and crumble the dry cake in a bowl. You then add a small amount of icing to make a thick dough. You can find recipes at foodnetwork website.
