HOW TO MAKE CAKE POPS

Simple Cake Pops

You can really taste the caramel frosting, and I liked the way the nonpareils gave added crunch to the Cake Pops. I used the cake mix to bake two 8-inch round cakes. The instructions below are for a full batch, which would yield about 60 cake pops. This recipe shows the easiest way to make cake pops using a cake mix and store-bought frosting. In a large bowl, combine the cake and the frosting. I recommend gradually adding the frosting until the cake pops are moist and easy to form into balls.

One by one, dunk the cake pops in the melted chocolate, shake off the excess, and sprinkle with nonpareils. Prep Time 1 hour. Cook Time 35 minutes. Total Time 1 hour 35 minutes. Instructions Start by preparing a cake using the cake mix and following the instructions on the box. Bake the cake and let it cool. Save the box from the cake mix - you will need this later.

Dip the sticks in the melted chocolate and then stick them in the cake balls, being careful not to go through the balls. This is the most important step: You need to freeze the cake balls, otherwise, they will break up when you dip them in the melted chocolate. Let the coating drip off.

Place cake pop on cookie sheet. If using sprinkles, add immediately before coating sets. Repeat for remaining pops. I spent maybe an hour on these not including baking and cooling times.

Here’s what you’ll need to make the cake pops recipe:

If you want your cake pops to be true cake pops, rather than cake balls with sticks in them, instead of putting them on a cookie sheet to dry, insert the stick into Styrofoam for the coating to set. FYI, the Candy Melt coating is really good.

Have you make cake balls or cake pops before? Those, pink and blue, are just darling! Hope you have a lovely weekend! I love cake pops, I make them the same as you! Standing them up in styrofoam was such a mess, I just plop them on a plate too. Much simpler than I thought! And yours turned out soooo cute! What do the melting candies taste like?

I wondering if it would taste better to use white almond bark and dye it the color I want…. I know this super late but there is a coloring made specifically for candy coloring made by wilton. I got it from joanns and its 4. The colors are very vibrant and go a long way. Also if u are doing one or two colors not worth investing in the coloring. I think they taste like the white almond bark with coloring already in them. The companies have gotten fancy over the years and added flavoring. These are so cute!

Definitely trying them for a party this summer! I think these will be a good recipe to start with to learn the basics. Thanks for the great tips. I was wondering if your cake pops made from cake mix and baked using a cake pop maker stayed moist? I have a cake pop maker but I always find it a little dry inside. Add 4eggs most mixes use 3. Add a box of instant pudding flavor to match cake and add a packet of dream whip. Use oil and water according to box. I always use Duncan Hines mix.

I have used this recipe for nearly 40 years. I used to do the Wilton shape cakes so I know it will hold its shape in your cake ball maker. I make these at Christmas with the white melts, then I stand them on top of a bed of crushed candy canes before I add the sorinkles. You end up with a pop that is decorated on both top and bottom. But if if you are using the crushed mints you need to let them dry on top of Reynolds non stick aluminum foil. The crushed mints can get sticky after they are unwrapped. And I do have a cookie scoop!

Kendra, I made the cake pops today for the first time. I watched several videos before I started but I still had trouble with the pop falling off the stick. This is what they tell you to do. Take your stick, put the end in the melted candy then into the pop. Put them in the refrigerator for 15 min for the candy to harden.

My advise is to also add the melted candy all the way around the stick then put in refrigerator. We are having a candy shop party tomorrow. I have TONS of stuff to do! Any suggestions on starting today? I made these a day or two before our gender reveal party and they were fine. After making them I put them in a container in the fridge. I had some leftover ones and they kept in the fridge for about a week. Never knew how to make these until now-you have been so generous to post it!!! I have made these before and they came out so gooey!

Did you warm the frosting to make it dipping consistency? Did it dry firm like the melted chocolate does? How did it taste? They will store for a few days. I like to store mine in the fridge but that is not necessary as long as they are in a cool place. I buy my candy melts on chocoley. I use the Bada Bing dipping and enrobing formula it melts thin.

They are nut free. I tried making cake balls last year with my 7 year old daughter but found it to be a tad bit messy. I recently bought a cake pop mold from Keetzen in Amazon and found it easier to use. Cake pops deset mue samatja! Zacue oug ke cake pops tyo reh feriasti, qui tamas mues fruimes guiste!

Teque tyo ya mueja! You know that there are other recipes online for icing right? The whole Idea is to get the cake to stick together to keep its ball form. Would any white choc. There is a link in the tutorial that lists the exact chocolate I use and takes you to the item online. The website is Chocoley.

What a great post! The pictures are great and I cannot wait to use this on Saturday when I make my cake pops! Cracking is always an issue with cake pops. But the chocolate i recommend in this post melts quite thin and does not feel steaming hot. It feels room temperature or cool but maintains its thin consistency. If you have a few cracks in your batch, they will appear pretty quickly. Just re-dip those pops at the end of the process and it will hide the cracks. I saw another tutorial where they said after rolling the balls you should put them in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Then place them in the refrigerator while you melt the chocolate. And then take one out at a time from the refrigerator to dip them. Would this be the same as refrigerating them overnight if I want to make them and dip them the same day? Yes you can dip them the same day. If you do not have time to let them firm up in the fridge overnight, just pop them in the freezer for 15 minutes while you melt your dipping chocolate.

Then you can take them out one at a time as you dip them, If you notice they are getting too cold on the bottom starting to freeze transfer them to the fridge and pull them from there one by one to dip them. Hi, I will be making cake pops for Thanksgiving. How long should I wait for the cake to cool before crumbling the cake?

If I place it in the freezer how long after I take it out of the oven for it to be put into the freezer and how long would I need to freeze it and how long to thaw? If you decide to bake well in advance of making the pops, freezing is a good option. You can let the cake cool for an hour before wrapping and freezing it. You can also wrap it while still warm. This traps the moisture in the cake. Let it thAw for three hours at room temp before crumbling. Thank you so much for postings this info, surprisingly just finding how much cake is need for x amount of cake pops is difficult!

Thank you for the quantities of cake pops per box! This was so informative and helpful, great pics! Can you gave tips and tutorial for halloween cupcakes or how to make it? You can see my recent Halloween cupcake topper blog here: I usually buy a 5 pound bag and it lasts through several large projects. I have not tried freezing them yet.

I often bake the cake ahead of time and freeze it as a short cut in the process. Then I let it thaw slowly before the crumbling step. For that reason, I avoid re-freezing.

Cake Pops 101: Tips and Tricks

If you are going to experiment with freezing them, I would individually wrap them first to avoid freezer burn. Do you ever have problems with the cake pops cracking after dipping or oozing from where the stick was stuck in? I have had cake pops fall off sticks know what caused that , crack, ooze and also be perfectly cooperative. Not sure what I did wrong when I got the cracking and oozing. Yes, I have experienced those problems. If I have a small air bubble in my chocolate shell, it has resulted in the oozing that you refer to. I try to touch up any air bubbles before they dry with my finger or a toothpick.

Perhaps you have openings where your pop meets your stick. After you dip the first time and push the cake ball on, be sure that the second fully submerged dip goes in far enough that the melted chocolate meets with the chocolate on the stick. This should make a strong seal. Secondly, I do experience a small amount of cracking…about 1 in 10 pops. I try to avoid drastic temperature changes with my pops. Will give this a try! Yes, this is the original way for making them that Bakerella shared with the world. This is a great tutorial — thanks, Renee!

It helped me figure out what I was doing wrong. What part do you think you were doing wrong? Any suggestion for making them less sweet? Maybe using bitter chocolate? Or and alternative to the mixing ingredient?

Good point…yes, they are very sweet. You could experiment with a moist, but not-too-sweet muffin recipe as the cake. Then add the tiniest bit of icing needed to bind it, then dip in dark, bitter chocolate? I often add vegetable oil to get the smooth consistency. Thanks for the tutorial…. Trust me this chocolate is totally superior.

It is such a pleasure to work with. You can contact the company and ask if there is a coupon code. I did this last time I bought and it eliminated the shipping costs. Great tutorial — thanks for sharing! I love Chocoley and their candy and molding formula makes amazing modeling chocolate.

Martha, thanks for the tip. Ahh thank you for this! And, it was real painful to have to throw away the excess chocolate — but now I know what to do with it! Home About Videos Tutorials Contact.
