Just made cake pops and you probably already did all of these tips but incase you didn’t- it helps a lot to dip the sticks melted chocolate and stick them into the cake pops before the chocolate dries, so that when it dries it creates kind of a cement for your cake Pops!! Also when we dipped them in chocolate, we left the naked cake pops in the freezer for about 30 ish minutes before we did the melting chocolate on them, so that way it wouldn’t melt off the cake pops when drying (like how you let your cakes cool down before putting icing on or else the icing will melt off). Also speaking of drying, before you let your cake pops dry I recommend letting the chocolate drip off back into your warm chocolate bowl, because if you don’t let all the excess chocolate drip off into your bowl, when you stand them up to let them dry the excess chocolate will just drip down anyways Idk if there’s a way to prevent cracks besides doing multiple coats or something, but my coatings did crack a little bit but I’ve heard that’s normal!
Also be careful how much frosting you mix the crumbled cake with, because we did a vegan batch too and put way too much frosting in and the cake pops kept sliding down and falling off!
Hi! I know you may not see this but if so I have a couple of questions. What size cakes did you use and how many did you bake to make 75 cake balls? And were the balls 1 Tbs? Also how much almond bark do you typically use in a large recipe like this. Lastly what is your frosting ratio to crumbled cake for your dough?
3 8 inch cake pans should be enough and probably still have some left over. If you use those three. Start with about 1/8 cup frosting and mix until satisfied and add more. I can't attest to how big hers were but 1 tb seems a bit small compared to the video. It looks like almost an ice cream scoop but not as much maybe like 3/4 an ice cream scoop
I just saw a video where this lady cake pops came out basically perfect and she said never to dip them cold and don't use the refrigerator to set the chocolate by however yours also looks almost perfect so I'm confused is it depending on what chocolate you use with cake mix you use I'm not sure it's confusing
Oh I am not sure because I just kind of get into a rhythm. I would guess about 20 minutes before I start dipping the first ones. I really find the almond Bark has far less cracking. And beleive me, I have had my share of cracking! So frustrating:(
Wow! How many cakes do you have to bake in order to make 75... and how many packs of chocolate? Also This is the baking time for the cake the same As what the box says or do you not even use a box cake mix?
Hello… I see other people say cool the chocolate a bit before dipping if your cold/frozen cake is dipped in warm chocolate then it slides off or crack, is that true. I have orders for cake pops but I mess up more than I sell
Bare hands is actually cleaner. When people wear gloves they touch more things. Then don’t think about washing them. Touch the fridge or the other surfaces while using gloves then go right on rolling.
Btw yours look absolutely phenomenal! So uniform and sleek
I just tried and failed miserably. The cake pops wouldn’t stick to the sticks and the chocolate would make them fall apart.
Still tastes good though!!

@@OpposumParty87 Thank you! I’ll try to make them again for Christmas so I’m excited to see how they turn out!
@@OpposumParty87omg I never thought that too much frosting would do that tysmmm
Great advice everyone;)
Yours look so good!

I don't know how I missed this one but I tell you what I would eat all 75 of those cake pops in my absolute weakness in life😂😂😂

Best I’ve ever seen
Like it. More of this video
I thought that was a big cheese roll she was sticking them on to 😂 great video thought! 😊
How many cakes made the 75 cake pops, was it one or two pans
I think it would be 2. I just made ine cake and it made about 30
OK 75 cake pops in one day is pretty impressive
How long do you freeze them in between each process of dipping. Mine always crack when I freeze them 😭
Oh I am not sure because I just kind of get into a rhythm. I would guess about 20 minutes before I start dipping the first ones. I really find the almond Bark has far less cracking. And beleive me, I have had my share of cracking! So frustrating:(
Also after I dip them I put them in the fridge as soon as possible so that they warm up much slower then room temp.
@@sophisticakesbymary thank you so much for the response I love your videos I’m so glad I came across your page 😊
This video was informative but I found it to be kind of rushed and not able to see alot
Is the outside of the cake really caramelization? I thought it was something else
Yes;) what did you think it was? Just curious;)
@@sophisticakesbymary I guess he thought that is sth else bcs caramelization sounds like sth sticky and liquidy 😅
I have that cup. Lol
Wow! How many cakes do you have to bake in order to make 75... and how many packs of chocolate? Also This is the baking time for the cake the same As what the box says or do you not even use a box cake mix?
What chocolate do you use?
My stick keeps coming out
Hello… I see other people say cool the chocolate a bit before dipping if your cold/frozen cake is dipped in warm chocolate then it slides off or crack, is that true. I have orders for cake pops but I mess up more than I sell
After you fineshed them do you put them in fridge or freezer or room temp?
Wow
Yummy
Hi! What chocolate do you use?
Most people use "chocolate melts" like I do.
Hello! Thanks for the sharing. I got one question: Did you normal white or compound chocolate?
We use almond Bark a lot;)
How do you get them not to crack?
Do u thin out the chocolate or its ok to just use it like that. ?
Add shortening trust lol
Are they cold or room temp when you dip ?
Cold
But now to decorate them
I thought you dipped them in icing lol
Why does my chocolate dry up fast? How do you keep your chocolate warm and melted??
I think she sounds like Selena Gomez
Are you just forming them with your hands? They are so round!
How much do you sell your cake pops for?
I actually don't know because my boss handles that;(
How do you keep them from cracking when they come out of the fridge?
Just try not to leave them in the fridge too long, just long enough to set up.
How many cakes did you make for 75 cake pops
Oh I can't remember honestly;(
Roughly 3-4 cake mixes
Hello .. do you use icing?
Me and my chef made 500 in one day
That's a lot of cake pops!
They look so delicious :0
Saw some cracks in them... but they looked good!
I need help with the melted chocolate. It was way to thick.
You can thin it down with Veggie oil.
How did you get those colors? 😭
I used ivory with a touch of brown. Just adding more brown as they got darker. The darkest ones are chocolate.
Doesn't the cold cake pops, crack the chocolate
If someone comments "haha she said balls 😂" i ligit gonna loose it ITS NOT FUNNY
Some one write the recipe with frensh
Those are waaaay to dense!
How do you do them? I thought they needed to be dense or they wouldn’t hold together.
Thank you for wearing gloves!! I've seen several videos and they just use their bare hands. Rolling cake with your bare hands is horrible.
Bare hands is actually cleaner. When people wear gloves they touch more things. Then don’t think about washing them. Touch the fridge or the other surfaces while using gloves then go right on rolling.
What about clients that are allergic to latex
Do not put them in fridge or freezer
75 in one day?
