Can you use the baby cakes maker and do the same thing? How would you add the frosting?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

I don’t think the baby cakes cake pops maker will work here unfortunately. Once the cake is baked in the oven, you’ll need to crumble it up and mix it with the frosting.

What else can u use instead of vanilla frosting ?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yes, use a pastry bag to make the thin stream of candy melts.

[@nhanmyle12]

How do you get a good thin consistency of the candy melt? I seem to have trouble when it comes to melting the candy melt. My cake pop would break and fall in 😭 Love your videos btw!

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Thank you! Glad you hear you love my videos :) There are several things that you can use to thin out your candy melts. In the video I use ez thins melting aid. You can also use crisco or coconut oil. Hope that helps :)

[@maryannerodrigues2237]

Hey I don't have dipping aid is there anything else I can use instead? And can I use milk compound?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Maryanne Rodrigues you can use about 1-2 tsps of crisco shortening or coconut oil instead.

I don’t have the red velvet cake box mix but is it alright to use normal cake mix and add food dye?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi, I have never tried using that so I am not too sure.

[@charleyrea7747]

Hi there! Great video, it’s really helpful! But I saw u said that u need to cut the outside of the cake off. In other videos they’ve used it in it, is it crucial that you take it out? I’m just wondering because if it’ll make my cake pop bad I won’t include it. Thanks! ❤️

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

For this specific recipe, there isn't a ton of frosting since the cake is moist enough from leaving out the crumbs. I think its easier to work with and less likely to fall apart when the outside of the cake is left out. I hope that helps answer your question.

[@charleyrea7747]

Yes it does! Thank you! 💫

[@kaleidoscope2780]

How many cake pops does this recipe make? Love your channel!!

[@asmagul98]

How long can we keep the cake popsicle in an airtight container? Also, when we put the cake popsicle in the freezer before dipping into the chocolate, won't the popsicle start to crack when inserted into the chocolate?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi, these red velvet cake pops can last up to 1 week in an airtight container. You only want to put them in the freezer for a short period of time to help firm them up a bit (under 15 minutes). I have never had them crack on me when doing it this way. Hope this helps :)

[@nafeesarahman7326]

How long can I keep the cake pops in the fridge before dipping them into the melted chocolate?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

If you want to make them in advance you can make the cake pop balls and keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for several days. Then you can dip them in the melted chocolate. Hope that helps clarify and I hope you love these cake pops :)

[@creatingwithsarah1131]

any other substitute for EZmelts ? Great video , hope ours come out ok ?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi :) You can also use coconut oil. Glad you loved my video :) I hope yours comes out perfectly! :)

I don’t have the thing that thins the chocolate. Anything that can be used as a substitute?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Jess B Yes, you should wait until the cake is completely cooled down.

[@shwetadesai857]

hi what do u mean by melting aid? what did u use? thanks

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

It is to help thin out the chocolate. I used Wilton candy melts EZ thins. You can also use crisco, vegetable oil, or coconut oil. Hope that helps :)

[@lisaruiz7211]

How do you melt the choc.mine always burns in the microwave rather than melts

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi Lisa, sorry to hear that. Are you using the melt setting in your microwave? If not you will scorch your chocolate. Also, make sure you use baking chips or melting wafers. Regular chocolate chips don't melt the same. Hope that helps :)

[@Lizzy_boo72]

Love red velvet but is their a possibility to incorporate a cream cheese frosting?

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yes you can! :)

[@laila.olivia6971]

If you can’t find candy melt thinners just use vegetable oil it works just as well and if the candy melts are to thin add more candy melts

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Yes vegetable oil is a good substitute :)

[@mmm_00082]

Im about to go make this but quick question, after dipping the balls into the chocolate and putitng them into the styrofoam are you supposed to put them in the fridge or freezer for the chocolate to harden or do you let them rest at room temperature, also how long do I leave them wherever they need to be?

Hi Nicholas :) I have not tried that substitute so can't really say. However, it won't be the same. Cream cheese isn't as sweet and the consistency is different. Hope you get a chance to make these cake pops!

[@guzmanramos562]

I want to make cake pops but I want to make them the color olive green how can I make that color

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

Hi :) Are you referring to make the actually cake olive green or the candy coating green? If you want to make the inside green, I recommend you follow my vanilla cake pop recipe but add green food coloring to the cake batter before its baked. If you only want to have the outside of the cake pops green, all you need to do it use green candy melts and perhaps add a little yellow food coloring after its melted to make it more of an olive color. I hope this helps!

[@guzmanramos562]

Candy coating green

[@SimplyHomeCooked]

@@guzmanramos562 Then I would recommend using green candy melts but adding a little bit of yellow food coloring to them. Make sure to maybe buy a few extra packs of candy melts because you’ll have to kind of mess around with the colors to get the perfect color you want.
