Hey MK thanks so much for this tip. I’m a small business baker and though I’ve been baking for a long time cake pops have always freaked me out but a good friend asked me to make some for her moms birthday so I said yes and I fell much better after having watched your video😊🎉. Thanks for always breaking the myths that have been created by the baking industry. I’ve learned a lot from you🙏🏻
I like your tricks to get them round and similar in size. Thank you for this tutorial.
This was the first video I watched for making cake pops. You covered all the basis . I don't need to search any further. Thank you.
Great tips! I also love how you scrape out the bowls and don't waste ingredients !!
This recipe looks really good. I like cake pops but the last time I made it. It didn’t turn out right so maybe I might try how you made hopefully it turns out right Insha’Allah
I like the way this lady describes the best ways to make pop cakes well done I loved it
Thank you so much! Great tips. Esp keeping the balls cold so they don’t fall off the stick which is what happens to me. I love your videos and tips. They help me out so much!

I always do a second short freeze (15-20 min) after inserting a lollipop stick into each ball - this ensures that stick is “glued” in place and should eliminate any instances of sliding or spinning.

Omg my favorite 🤩
Gonna try it lol
After doing the cake pops can it sit in room temperature for overnight right? And one more question, after getting the cake pops from the fridge for coating do I need to sit it in a room temperature before dipping it in a melted chocolate? Cause it like chilled cake pops into warm melted chocolate????
Damn mk they look so good

Nice. I found that if I use less oil than indicated, the cake pop won't fall off the stick. Also, I never refrigerate mine because it causes the chocolate to crack.
Thanks for show me how to do this I’m gonna try. I’m gonna do it for church.

If the cake pop is cold and you dip it into chocolate. Won’t it make the chocolate break? I’ve had that problem before…what’s your thought?
@CakesbyMK
Жыл бұрын
Good question! So I've never had that problem before (I only get cracking when I accidentally drop a cake pop LOL), but I think it could be because the chocolate I dip my cake pops in isn't very hot, so the temperature difference between the cake pops and chocolate isn't as drastic compared to if the chocolate was very hot. I think the length of time the cake pops are chilled may also make a difference, especially if placed in the freezer. You don't want your cake pops to be frozen, but just cold, so maybe leaving it too long in the fridge/freezer may have an effect? The way I do my cake pops too (by placing the stick in all of them first) also means my cake pops usually sit for about 10 minutes at room temp before I dip them. Just some of my thoughts which I hope help in some way! :)

I had to make 80 of them. It took me 8 hours!!! It looks yummy although I didn't eat 1 yet. Hahahaha. I had a couple of pops breaking when I covered it in chocolate. Do you perhaps know why? Other than that I'm happy. But it's very hard work.
I can't find candy melts here where i live. Can i use normal chocolate? Will it crack if i do so?

Hi there! You can totally use normal chocolate I would just recommend thinning it out with a little bit of vegetable oil and if you want to go that extra mile then to temper the chocolate so you have a nice crack when you bite through your cake pop :)

Do they harden at room temperature? I usually harden them in the fridge and they end up sweating.
After I am done, make cake, pop, and decorate, do I have to keep in the refrigerator or no?

How do you get your chocolate so thin? Mine always comes out so thick and doesn't run off a spoon as smoothly as yours did. I do put a little bit of coconut oil in it, but I'm always afraid to use too much. Fantastic tip about rerolling after freezing because that is another issue I have.

Thanks for this. Supposing I bake your full vanilla cake recipe instead of the cake mix. Do I just use 1 of the two 8" cakes for the quantity of frosting you have here or can I double the frosting to mix the two 8" cake? Also, can I use your red velvet and chocolate cake recipes for red velvet and chocolate cake pops?

You're so welcome! And simply double the frosting and then you can make both vanilla cakes :) and yes you can totally use those recipes for different flavoured cake pops :)
I tried this method before, my pops are cold then I dipped them in melted chocolate, but the chocolate coating cracked. 😅 Should I leave them in the counter for at least few minutes before dipping them?

@CakesbyMK

Hmm good question! I am not entirely sure to be honest but I imagine it must have something to do with the cake pops expanding once they heat up. I have read that rolling the cake balls too tightly can cause this to happen. Sorry I can't be of more help!
