Don’t make the cake balls too big! You want them to be exactly 1 T. Too big and they’ll be too top heavy on the sticks and they’ll fall off.

You don’t want the cake pops to be in the fridge for too long after poking them with the sticks and before dipping in the chocolate. If the cake balls are too cold and the melted chocolate is still pretty hot, you can get cracking in the cake pops.

I dipped some of my cake pops in chocolate candy melts, and some in dark chocolate. Be careful when melting the chocolate, you don’t want to scorch it!

The Do's And Don'ts Of Making Cake Pops

If using pure chocolate, make sure you add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out before melting it. This will make the coating smoother and all around better for coating the cake pops.

No cake pop stand or styrofoam? No worries! If you have a box from a recent Amazon delivery, you can place that on the counter and poke the sticks through that!

To make things easier, you can make the chocolate cake and frosting one day (store the cake covered at room temperature and the frosting in an airtight container in the fridge) and then assemble and dip the next day!

Cake Ball Recipe (step By Step Tutorial)

Store cake pops at room temperature for 5 days or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

If you’re wanting to freeze chocolate covered cake pops, the best way to avoid the chocolate from cracking is to prevent drastic temperature changes. So let the chocolate set, then place in the fridge and then the freezer. You might experience slight condensation when you remove them from the freezer. They will last for 2 months in the freezer.

This happens when the chocolate is too hot and the cake balls are too cold. The stark difference of temperature can cause the chocolate coating on the outside to crack. You want the balls to be slightly chilled so the melted chocolate will firm up quickly (and not be dripping off the ball), but you don’t want them to be frozen are super cold. And you won’t need to reheat your chocolate prior to dipping the balls. Let the chocolate temperature come down so it isn’t so hot, but is still melted.

When crumbling the cake, you didn’t crumble it into small enough pieces. You want the cake to be very crumbled so that it will fully combine into the frosting and become a uniform texture. That should roll into cake balls very easily and stay together really well. You shouldn’t have any issues with crumbling. 

While writing this blog post it occurred to me that I had no idea who invented cake pops. I mean, it’s definitely more of a recent “invention.” Well, apparently Angie Dudley invented cake pops. She obviously had a lot of time on her hands! 😂
