Nothing wrong with using box mix. It’s the frosting you don’t want to use.

Omg thank you. Those small tips like "don't push your sticks too much cause you don't want it to poke from the other side" actually helps a lot. There are so many cake pop recipes but people don't give small, subtle tips like these which are actually very important.

Trying cake pops for the first time today. When you said “don’t use pre made frosting, you’re better than that” I audibly said “I’m not” lol great video tho can’t wait to try!!

Once you crumble up the cake, you add the frosting until it gets the desirable consistency and yes, you can use premade frosting. I used it and it ended up amazing just like Starbucks.

When John said, “when things get warm you get sad” I really felt that because I live in Florida and I made these on a humid summer day

Made these tonight for my husband's 30th. But instead of trusting my baking skills 😏 seeing as how I can make even just a boxed cake taste like a shoe, I went and grabbed the Costco pound cakes 3 pack and it came out so amazing and especially since it was my first time!! Definitely going to be my absolute go to for parties! Can't wait for my little girls party she's gonna get these too 🥰

Hey John here’s a tip: when heating chocolate, candy melts, etc in the microwave, use a plastic container instead of glass. Glass holds onto heat which is why your bowl gets hot even though the melts aren’t melted. Plastic won’t have this issue. I believe sugar geek is where I learned this-I can’t take credit myself. Take care!❤

I became interested in cake pops because Starbucks was bugging with charging >$5 for one. Not only that but these are great for portion control when you want a little treat. Thanks for the tips!

Hi John! 🤗 WONDERFUL recipe! Absolutely love all of your recipes but your personality is the one we all love even more! Big hug 🤗

Can i just say that i LOVE ur videos! i watch them for everything I need to make. I SUCK at baking but when I follow ur advice I look like a pro. Im so happy for your channel and for the knowledge you spread. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

Your random thought and comments makes your baking so refreshing! I love it!

Omg! Show the sprinkle drawer again! You're awesome! Also, still waiting for the extrusion discussion... :)

John: I do not want you using the box mix… Me: *nervously hides container*

I’ve never mentioned this, but I like coming here to get baking advice because John gives very specific instructions & advice on every single baking recipe. And to go with it he has the best personality. Couldn’t ask for more. If you’re a person who watches KZread a lot for information or to get instructions on something the you know exactly what I mean.

Best explanation of WHY those key steps are mandatory! Excellent! Thank you!

I first came across your channel with the video about cake strips (which was life changing). I love how approachable and fun you make baking/cooking. Your recipes never fail to disappoint. Thanks for all the joy and delicious recipes, and I can't wait for your cookbook!

I made this using your frosting to mix into the vanilla cake and Ghirardelli white chocolate to dip the cake pops....it was amazing and so freaking delicious. I have tried to make cake pops several times and this is hands down the best. I can't wait until your cook book is out. Thank you!!!!

@@sTaCiE3398 No, I did not. But if you use a different brand you might have to.

Thanks for your cake pop tips. Here is a tip for melting chocolate wafers in the microwave, if anyone is interested. I dip strawberries, and I use a glass bowl, Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers and the microwave. Microwave for 30 secs, and stir, even though the wafers hasn't melted yet, but stir. Then microwave again for 30 secs and stir, then 20 secs and stir. If the wafers aren't runny, add half capful of vegetable oil, stir and microwave for 15 secs and stir. The chocolate should be a good consistency to dip the cake pops. Of course, the chocolate will harden again as you work to dip the cake balls. Wgen that happens, simply repeat the microwave process again. I haven't had any problems with the wafers burning while using this method. I did try coconut oil once, when I didn't have vegetable oil in the cabinet, and it burned.

That sprinkle drawer is my favorite thing ever lol

Hi! I actually tried this recipe today! And I just have to say, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking for a good cake pop tutorial for ages. I have tried some tutorials on KZread and the cake would fall off the stick. This is by far the EASIEST tutorial also because I used pre made frosting which helped me time wise. I decorated them the same as yours and they turned out stunning! I can’t wait to make these for my cousins when they come over! Thanks so much 😊

I’ve made so many cake pops, but thanks for explaining the cracking issue! I would make them “stick up” instead of “pop up” like you did. That way, I didn’t need a special thing for making them or displaying them. I also trimmed off the caramelization so the inside would be pretty and smooth.

This was really good to know, because my last batch of cake pops failed and now I know where I went wrong. Thanks so much!

I have always wondered how to make these!! Thank you! And, love the science-y bits of info!!

I always wanted to know how to make these. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I love that you're always so happy........you're adorable. Gonna put this on my list of things I have to try. 🤩

Just a note from my experience with melting chocolate. As far as semi sweet, I’ve had no issues with throwing some in a glass measuring cup, adding a heaping tablespoon of shortening, and microwaving it in 30 second intervals!

He's good at making a lot of things. Cake pops isn't one of them. His candy melt chocolate is too thick for dipping. Get you a Wilton melting pot and Wilton e z thin or paramount crystals (1 to 2 tablespoons), this will smooth out your candy melts perfectly. Also, use a 9x13 pan to make your cake. Like he said, box cake mix is perfectly acceptable. I use two boxes for the 9 x 13. After the cake is done, I let set for 5 to 10 minutes, then I put it in the food processor to break it down. Sometimes I add cream cheese instead of frosting, or I use chocolate ganache if I'm doing chocolate cake. Then I use either a nonstick meat ballers or ice cream scooper to make uniformed size cake pops. I normally let them sit over night in the refrigerator, if in a rush, I put them in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes. And like he said, don't dip them while cold because they chocolate will harden quickly and then crack. Allow almost room temperate before dipping.

So cute 😁 Thank you for sharing and all the much needed tips 🤣💙
