How to Make Cake Pops - Easy Recipe | Wilton

[@BMell74]

I always trim around my cakes. I never use the outside portion of the cake as it becomes hard and doesn't give the cake pop a smooth consistency once you blend the icing. Also I never use the exact amount of oil required for baking my cakes. Through trial and error I found my cake pops would leak oil if there was any slight hole in the melting chocolates once it hardened up. Plus your sticks will absorb the oil making your white cake pop sticks look yellow. You are going to get more oil from the icing you use to bind your cake pop dough. Just food for thought and many mess ups😉 I use a 1oz scooper to insure a consistent cake pop and roll the balls until there is no cracks in the cake dough. Sometimes you might have to add a little bit more icing to get that consistency. Once I have rolled out my cake balls I put them on a cookie sheet on parchment paper and stick them in the fridge for about 10 minutes. While my cake balls are in the fridge I get my melting chocolates ready. Once my melting chocolates are ready I will dip my sticks into the chocolate and insert them into my cake balls and let them set outside of the fridge because your cake ball will still be a little cold causing the melting chocolate to set without putting it back into the fridge. Before dipping I will make sure my melting chocolate is at room temperature before I dip my cake pops and use toothpick to puncture any air bubbles my cake pop will have. I use styrofoam because if you put your cake pops in at an angle, and you did not tap enough melting chocolate off then that chocolate will pull to the side and it will look messy. I hope this helps😉

Your videos have helped me so much and I would just like to say thank you. My favourite thing to make is a layered rainbow cake❤️ can you please please make a video showing us how to make a coffee pecan cake. Thanks love you Wilton.❤️ by the way I am a viewer from Australia🇳🇿❤️🍿🍹🐾🎈

I've just recently got a facination about these. So much you can do with them. Lots of fun.

[@13shale13]

A cookie scoop works great for consistent size and I freeze my pops for an hour before dipping and use a craft foam block to stick my pops in after dipping.

[@shaynakent212]

What do I use instead of buttercream? Because I don’t have butter cream

[@kalabid1601]

Shayna Kent you can use normal icing i tried that they turn great

[@stephaniebeadle6748]

Love Love this video and recipe. I found this video to be the most informative for cake pops. I made them for the first time after watching it and everyone loved them. A couple of them fell off the sticks so the next time I tried the frosting piped into the hole. FYI-this method works great as long as you pipe then stick the stick in before piping the next. I, without thinking, piped a few & the chocolate set before I could get the stick in. Fastest way would be to have someone else put the stick in as you pipe. Happy Baking!!

[@iloverent23]

I followed this EXACT- they turned out perfectly! You're awesome Des!

[@wilton]

That is so great to know!

[@johnsonfamily6361]

[@koraspain2285]

Wow! You have such a good way at explaining the process. I love the marble effect. If I would have known I could have make the cake balls like that, I would not have bought that expensive cake pop machine.

[@wilton]

Thanks for your comments, I'm glad you enjoy our videos! We do have some videos on working with fondant, check this one out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6GZkK2lq7eYmJY

[@alid7844]

Pro tip (I’ve made at least 1,000 just this past month): use a cookie scoop/mini ice cream scoop to make the balls

[@2flyb11]

My cake pops fell right off the stick when dipping it in the melts :(

[@susiemauro9841]

Well you answered MANY of my questions about cake pops!! I had NO idea you baked and then "crumbled??" One question please is regarding the "candy melt" you used? I did not see directions or what to buy in your video. Thank you for showing this video. It was wonderful and I love your marbling technique! So pretty! I have a little boy who would like "BASEBALL CAKE POPS!"

[@youngmuffin24]

Thank you for sharing. Love your approach to video tutorials. Your speech is clear, your directions to the point and the focus is all on the project.

[@lifeasbri2159]

Whenever I dip my cake pops in chocolate a few of them fall of the stick or fall apart. How can you prevent that? I love your videos!!

[@Chillly54]

Just mold it better!

[@rosamontero8007]

First deep de sttck in the chocolate and in the pop cake that will prevent de cake pop fall of .

[@nalinisookhan2257]

well i suggest making the cake a little moist again so it can hold tg and i suggest to dip the stick in the chocolate first so .when u stick the stick in the cake it can harden and cling to the cake

[@brianareynoso103]

Thank you so much!!! You explained it very well 😊

[@aliciatgarcia9881]

Do you refrigerate them after you put the chocolate candy melts or do you let them set out of the refrigerator? I find if I refrigerate then mmmmmmm when they come to room temp they have condensation and/or they have the shortening ooze out

[@mickiholloway5962]

I really enjoyed your video, I will be making cake pops for my desert table . Thank you for you help

[@lindseycrowley-scott2567]

Between pouring in the colors and dipping the cake pop, is there a certain way you are supposed to stir the icing in? Or do you just go right to dipping?

[@tober5460]

I too have a question about the time you put them in the fridge. The recipe says put your cake balls in the fridge for two hours after you roll them then the video says put the sticks on and put them in the fridge for only 5 minutes so they don't get cold because the coating will crack if the temperatures are not right. Please clarify I did like the video and am going to make them so I want to be sure I am doing it right. Thanks

whats a good ratio for cake to frosting when your creating the cake pop balls?

Can we use a normal double boiler on the stove to melt the chocolate/candy melts? If so about which setting would you suggest? (Medium, Medium-high, etc..)

[@lizmiller2341]

Your cake mix is that a normal cake mix? Most I see at my store has pudding or something that makes them moist. So do you still need the pudding mix? Thank you

[@schiavettophotography2106]

Can these be made in multiple days and long will it last. I have an event in one week and I don't have the time to do them in one day. Can I freeze them before dipping in chocolate and can I freeze them again after? Help, I already made half and put the other two cakes in the fridge overnight.

[@Promoshines]

Do the cake pops have to go in the fridge once dipped or can I just leave out overnight?

[@griceldaleon2001]

How do you keep the melted candy melts from dripping down the stick when you place it on the stand to harden?

[@koraspain2285]

Shake the cake ball gently to remove the excess after taking it out of the melted chocolate

[@elizabethankers7005]

Also, make sure your glaze is not too thin.

[@amyrose7261]

What kind of candy melts? I don’t want them to be too sweet. :) do you guys think you need to thin out the candy melts for the melted chocolate to be runny enuf?

[@sherysullivan1068]

Do you just leave these on the counter after they're done? Or refrigerate them?

[@Nevada189]

How long do you bake the cake in the oven?

[@ridafs]

Great video, love the marble effect!

[@miguelinagrullon5042]

When you coat it do you put it back in the refrigerator to set or just leave it out ?

[@courtneykarvaski211]

Excellent Job, on the Marble Technique Cake Pops, those were awesome, and the Chocolate Cake pops, were Excellent also

[@confectionscakestudio2911]

My cake mix is a little less than 18 oz. does that affect the number of eggs or should I still use the exact recipe listed?

[@leilaslovelyworld3269]

cake pops are so tasty

[@ruthyvargas3872]

what kind of pudding mix do you use if these were chocolate cake pops?

[@fatimagomez1666]

Once your cake pops are coated and done, for how long can you store them in the fridge, or what will be a good way to store them if you make them a night before?

[@wilton]

Hi Fatima! You can do either. They key is to make sure that the chocolate is coated over the whole cake, otherwise, hairline cracks could form and the oil from the cake will leak through. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe to our channel: s.wilton.com/10vmhuv

[@rachelletasis2594]

can i store it to fridge overnight when the even is for the next day?

[@SophieMia806]

What size instant pudding package do you use? Aren't there two sizes, or am I thinking of Jell-O instead? Thanks. Also, I love the marble look. That is so cool!

[@wilton]

You're right, Jell-O does have two sizes - regular and large. I used the regular size, 3.4 ounces. Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! -Desiree

[@SophieMia806]

+Wilton ...Thank you for your response. I couldn't remember for sure if the pudding had two sizes or not. I haven't bought any in a long time. I may try the cake pops sometime. Thank you for sharing this video. 😊

hi, what is the candy colorant? It says candy colorant on the pot? I have never find wilton candy colorant. I have icing colorant wilton and when I put that colorant in the color is not even it is more like small dots color. Will iquid color do the job if I cannot find the wilton candy colorant? Also is there a way to make super round ball? I need them to be almost round perfect. Please help.

[@paulaespinosa9356]

What do you mean by “candy color”? For the colored drizzle?

do you have to put frosting in the cake crumbles? i dont wanna buy it for only that use then trash it….

[@wanevacook5675]

Can you do a video showing how to use the shortening?

[@beeforbarbara92]

I had a question. I have been making cake pops and they're always falling off the stick. I reduced the frosting in the mix but it's still falling. I put cake pop stick in chocolate before I stick in cake pop let it sit for a while and when I go to dip them they fall off. I use pulsbury cake mix could it be that?

[@shakerabanu5977]

Thank you I will try making cake pops

[@anahcecyliamartinez1005]

Thank you so much for the reply Desiree 😊😊

[@_imperiumromanum]

BOOSH! I MADE IT EASY! Step 1: Eat a lollipop. Step 2: Keep and clean off the stick. Step 3: Get a cake. Step 4: Compress as much of the cake as you can into a small ball, and put it on the stick. Step 5: Smother the thing in chocolate syrup until the cake ball hardens. Step 6: Microwave it again for 1 minute.
