I know this video was uploaded such a long time ago but...just the fact that you’re using GLOVES while making food that ppl will eat has earned my respect for your version of making cake pops! I will definitely use gloves and have ALWAYS thought those same exact thoughts when it comes to making food that other ppl will will be eating! Thanks for pointing that out:)

[@lucierumsby5797]

I am confused as you used a frozen cake to create the cake balls yet then re froze the cake again in balls. Is this OK to re freeze like this? I was under the impression you shouldn't re freeze anything bg twice. Why do you need to freeze them again if you also have to wait till room temperature to decorate them? Thank you ever so much for your tutorial xx

OMG I can give you a BIG OLE HUG around your neck!!!! I have searched all over the internet trying to find out how to “properly “ make cap pops...I’ve had problems as to them falling off the sticks, cracking and oozing. When some placed a order for cake pops I would cringe....BUT NOW I’m going to advertise that I make them....they came out PERFECT and when I say PERFECT I mean PERFECT😱. It don’t take much to make me happy but this has me smiling from ear to ear.....THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 😃

[@sady1139]

Andrea Stevens thank you for replying to a comment from a year ago! Do you do regular box mix or adjust it? I’ve also noticed many tend to have more success making vanilla cake pops from a box vs from scratch because the box has special floors that absorb the excess oil I guess but scratch cake does work as well

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Kellie You don't have to use a cake that has been frozen, you can just use one from fresh. We just always have a stock of frozen cakes around for things like this and we find that the cakes that have been frozen and then defrosted always end up a little more moist than freshly baked.

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Toni, Thank you so much for your lovely comment! If you are making the cake pop balls the same day their is no need to freeze. I would just chill in the refrigerator for around half an hour to firm them up a little. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching 😃

[@Kt-cn2rq]

great video! thanks. do you happen to know if you can freeze cake pops once completed? I wanted to do some in advance of my little girls birthday. TIA.

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi, As long as the cake has been freshly baked and not frozen and defrosted already then you can freeze them with no problems. If you take a look at the video from the 4 minute mark then it explains everything to do with freezing and how long they should keep for and how to defrost. Hope this helps and thank you for watching 😁 xxx

[@janer1977]

Windsor Cake Academy thanks so much. I was hoping to freeze them decorated......is that too risky?

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi, It wouldn't be advisable to freeze them once decorated as the coating may crack but you can make them and decorate them and keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Hope this helps 😁 xxx

[@rafaelortega854]

how many cake base ando how many frostin did you used? please help me

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Rafael, We managed to get 23 cake balls from a really shallow 8" square vanilla cake. The size of cake just depends on how many cake balls you need. The amount of frosting that you needs depends on how moist your cake is. Typically the more moist that your cake is the less frosting you need. Just do as shown in the video and add a little frosting at a time until the mixture comes together in the food processor. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@griceldaleon2001]

When you say they will keep in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks, would that be after they’ve been candy dipped or before?

You can ball your cake pops and put them in the freezer cover them good they would stay for a month do not dip them in the chocolate until you ready to dip them

[@user-ey1us1te2p]

Hello! Thanks a lot for your video! Would you help me , please - my cake balls are fall apart ( I used ganache with butter in it). What shall I do in this situation? Thank you for your answer!

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi, This could be happening for a couple of reasons. The first is that you need to make sure that the crumb on your cake is very fine when blitzing in the food processor. Maybe try letting it go for a little longer to make the crumb finer. It could also be due to the amount of ganache that you are adding or the consistency of the ganache. You need to make sure that the ganache is of cake covering consistency and not runny. When adding the ganache to the cake crumb, add very gradually and stop as soon as the mixture comes together in a ball. Hope this helps and the more practice you have the easier it will become :) Thanks for watching!

[@user-ey1us1te2p]

Oh, thank you a lot! I'll try to do it again! Also my cake balls had a hole in them.

My pops fell apart into the melted candy melt as I pulled away. Any tips for next time?

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

This could be happening for a couple of reasons. The first is that you need to make sure that the crumb on your cake is very fine when blitzing in the food processor. Maybe try letting it go for a little longer to make the crumb finer. It could also be due to the amount of buttercream that you are adding or the consistency of the buttercream. When adding the buttercream to the cake crumb, add very gradually and stop as soon as the mixture comes together in a ball. Also, when you are dipping your cake pops do not twist the stick...this will cause the cake ball to loosen the seal and fall off. Instead, rock the cake pop backwards and forwards. Try giving our Introduction to Cake Pops video a watch :) Hope this helps and the more practice you have the easier it will become :) Thanks for watching!

[@GreedyBedies]

I always refrigerate mine before dipping. You just have to be careful but quick when dipping because they’ll dry fast.

[@stephaniedeklerk5754]

Make sure your cake balls aren’t too big because that can make them too heavy and cause them to fall off. I generally don’t make my balls bigger than 32g if I want slightly bigger ones.

[@SpecialgiftsLA]

Hi.This is a wicked video. I enjoyed liked and subscribed..All in one pop.😊..How can you tell when they are defrosted? Thank you..xx

[@charlenestewart7395]

this was great. I made the cake pop and it was the play dough consistency you had. I thought I did something wrong. Is it supposed to look like cake when you bite into it or 'play dough' ??? help please. I have an event coming up and want to make sure they are done right.

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Charline, The traditional way cake pops are made is with crumbed cake and frosting like above. This should give you a pop that is very similar to a truffle, very dense inside and not like a normal cake. Some people choose to bake their pops into the sphere shape already but it is just however you prefer. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@leslievalenzo7902]

Does the cake have to be fully defrosted before putting it in the food processor ?

[@sparkiena4434]

Leslie Valenzo no you can cut it in half then use one half and save the other

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Leslie, It is best to make sure that the cake is fully defrosted before putting it in the blender as it is only then that all the oils and moisture will release to achieve the correct consistency. It should be fine if it is still on the cold side but wait until it is fully soft all the way through. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

Cake taken out of the freezer initially. Then balls frozen again. Is that ok?

[@russellellery5530]

can cake pops be frozen once covered in the candy melts?

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi Russell, I wouldn't recommend it. It may cause the candy to condensate when defrosting. I have never personally tried it tho so you could give it a go with just one or two and see what happens. We have put them in the fridge before so that they keep a little longer and that is fine. Make sure that they are individually wrapped. Hope this helps and thanks for watching :)

[@nagalakshmi6453]

Hi, This is really easy to make but why should we make it as a dough but .Why can't we just use our hand to mix and use a little bit of icing

[@WindsorCakeAcademy]

Hi, You can make cake pop mixture with your hands. This is just showing you the way that we find easiest and with the most amazing texture! You get a much finer crumb with a food processor than you can get with your hands and by adding the frosting in this way you can be sure it is mixed through every part fully, before adding too much. I have known people that have really struggled with making a cake pop mixture that holds together well that after trying this way have loved it and will never go back to doing it any other way. Others are quite happy using their hands. It is all personal preference :) Thanks for watching :)
