How To Make A Cake Pop Stand Out Of Wood

Back when I photographed those goodies, I also took the above picture of the cake pop stand with a carpenter's square so that I would have the dimensions for future reference. I was secretly hoping my hubby would make one for me to keep... but that hasn't happened yet.

Why you ask was it not more precise?  Welll, around 10pm the night before it was due,  I remembered that my customer had ordered this board.  So I begged my husband, who was already ready for bed, to go outside, get out his saw and drill and make it for me.

He did that for two reasons.  First, he loves me... alot.    Second, I'm sure he was also accommodating because  he wanted me to keep all of my fingers.  I certainly would've cut off some major body part had I been forced to operate the circular saw unsupervised!

He made my homemade cake pop stand!  Again, it was late and he was working quickly, so I know our measurements and spaces are not terribly precise!

We started with a 1x12 board.  Then he cut it down to the approximate 10 x 11 rectangle you see above.   We then drew out a grid for 24 cake pops (the quantity that was ordered)  based on what I assumed would be enough room for the cake pops.

I put the dimensions up in the top picture for you to see.   The rows were spaced a little less than 3 inches apart and then the vertical holes were about 1.5 apart.  I use 5/32 diameter lollipop sticks, so my hubby drilled the holes with the appropriate size drill bit so they would stand but be tight.

Then he sanded it down to remove all the splinters.  When he had that all done for me, I painted it with cheap white craft paint.   It took about 3 coats for it to be white enough for me, but considering I was using my kids school craft paint - what did I expect?  I'm sure if you had a better quality paint, it would've been fine!

If you choose to make one of these, I'd recommend making the horizontal holes a little farther apart.  Ours were around 1.5 inches but I'd recommend maybe 1.75 inches.  Our little ladybugs had enough room - but barely!!

Do you have any questions about making a cake pop stand like this?  If so, leave them in the comments and I'll let my hubby answer (ha!!)

Often, when you pick up the pop, you realize that there is no candy coating on the bottom “foot” of the pop?Well, here’s a little trick that I like to do to ensure that you will get thePerfect Bottom Cake Popevery time!

Then place it on top of the candy disk. You may have to hold it there for a count of 10 if your candy coating is thin and the pop starts to lean.

The candy coating will ooze down to cover the disk and hide it and there will be a bit of an extra candy crunch at the bottom, but that’s no biggie.

The good news is that they stand up straight and they have a flat bottom with no hole for cake and oil to leak out of an make a big mess on your serving tray.

If you aren’t using Wilton’s Candy Melts, Make and Mold candy wafers, Mercken’s coatingsorGuittard’s A’peelsor any other candy coating that comes in a disk shape, simply crate your own disk with your color before dipping.

Hi. Now that I am a grandmother I need to learn how to bake an edible cake or make cake pops. What cake batter is recommended?

I use any cake mix. I find that they are light and airy and so easy to bake. I just buy whatever is on sale. Have fun making them!

Yep! This trick should work. Or you can add a dollop of chocolate to a cookie sheet and then rest the dipped cherry on that.

Cake Pops 101: Tips, Tricks & Great Ideas On How To Display Your Cake Pops!

I'm so glad you posted this! I thought I was the ONLY person who's cake pops fell off the stick, cracked, or looks lumpy. Mine never look perfect but I also compare them to Bakerella's perfect cake pops. I can't wait to try it again with your tips! Thanks for sharing!

I saw this a week ago and couldn't remember where I saw it so I stalked Pinterest. This is right on time for my daughter's open house. I'll be making tons of cakepops. Thanks!!!

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know we featured you in our Favorite Find Fridays post over at Whimsically Homemade. We used one of your pictures. If that's a problem let us know and we'll remove it immediately. Thanks for your great inspiration!How was your weekend? We spent most of it celebrating my friend’s birthday. I made a whole mess of treats including chocolate zucchini cake (as cupcakes), these salted caramel dark chocolate cookies, and these peanut butter M&M cookies too—it’s been way too long since I made a batch of those in particular! The birthday girl loves chocolate and peanut butter and caramel so these 3 were a no brainer.

Diy Cake Pop And Sucker Stand Tutorial

There’s no batter time (get it? batter?) than a happy occasion to indulge in your favorite treats whether that’s a birthday, shower, wedding, you name it. My mom and sisters threw my baby shower last month and one of the treats they surprised me with was a HUGE display of cake pops. I love cake pops, but hardly ever take the time to make them. Though I did whip up a batch for both of my sisters’ bridal showers in the past few years.

The difference between these cake pops and others you may have tried is that these are 100% homemade. There’s no box cake mix or canned frosting, which results in a totally unique cake pop experience. You can actually TASTE the homemade. The love, the passion, and the care that goes into creating each adorable pop.

So anyway! I first began making homemade cake pops when I wroteSally’s Candy Addiction. In fact, this recipe is published in the book! I want to share it on the blog as well because I’ve gotten lots of questions about making from-scratch cake pops.

How To Make Cake Pops At Home

Today we’ll go over all my tips, tricks, and secrets to crafting the peeeeerfect pop as well as the homemade vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream used inside. There’s lots of ground to cover so let’s pop right to it. (Can’t stop with my nerdiness right now.)

Since we’re leaving the box cake mix and canned frosting on the store shelves, we’ll need to take a little extra time to prep both from scratch. I always make the cake the night before, then finish the cake pops the next day. Here’s the general process:

Super basic recipes for both the vanilla cake and frosting, but I do encourage you to use the correct size pan for the cake. This cake is too large for a typical 9-inch cake pan. You’ll need to use a 9-inch springform pan since it rises quite high. Or you can use an 11×7-inch pan instead. A 10-inch springform pan would work as well.

Cake ingredients are straightforward. The basic crew like flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, milk. Same goes with the vanilla frosting: butter, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, milk (or cream). The difference between this and what you get out of a box is the taste. You can totally tell these cake pops are special and it’s because you started with from-scratch components. WORTH IT!

(Crumbling the cake into the frosting sounds super weird when you think about it and that’s exactly what cake pops are—super weird when you think about it. It’s cake and frosting mixed together to form a truffle-like ball. Pop a stick in it and dunk into coating. Yep, it’s weirdly delicious and awesome and you need to embrace it.)

It’s easier to roll the cake + frosting mixture into perfectly round balls if it’s cold. And what I do is roll the balls up right after the two are mixed together. They’re pretty misshapen because the cake + frosting mixture is super moist—and at room temperature. So then I chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. After that, I give them another little roll to smooth out the sides. When they’re cold, they’re easier to smooth out and form perfectly round shapes.

Just like when we make Oreo balls, the cake balls need to be super chilled before dipping, so this trick gets both steps done!
