Can I make these the day before?You sure can! But I’d use candy melts instead of chocolate. That way, you can store them on the counter and not have to worry about the chocolate melting and smearing on the treat bag if the room gets too warm. Plus, candy melts come in so many fun colors!
Help! My cake pops are falling apart! You’ve either added too much frosting or not enough. If your cake pops are too crumbly, then you need to add more frosting but go easy. The frosting is the glue, so too much of it and the cake pops will be too goopy. If you don’t use enough frosting, the cake pops will crumble.
Lemon Cake Pops
How do I get rid of the excess chocolate when dipping my cake pops? Let the excess chocolate drip back into the cup. You can give the cake pops a gentle tap against the rim if needed.
Do I need to add oil or butter to my chocolate before melting it? Follow the instruction on the package. Some chocolate requires a little oil to be mixed in before melting. Always melt in short intervals, stirring in between.
How can I enhance the taste of store-bought frosting? For some frosting flavors adding a pinch of salt, vanilla extract, or a bit of unsalted butter can help give it a more homemade taste.
The Best Chocolate Cake Pops
Can I mix the frosting and cake together with a stand mixer? Using your hands will get you the best results and helps to prevent adding too much frosting.
~TIPS~ Want to use food coloring? I’d suggest using candy melts instead of white chocolate for the coating. I wasn’t impressed with how the white chocolate took the food coloring. It made the chocolate thicker. I purchased all of my ingredients, including the cake pop sticks and sprinkles, at Target.

A classic buttercream is also my favorite type of frosting for cake pops, but feel free to use others like chocolate buttercream, cream cheese frosting or strawberry buttercream.
Many ways to decorate cake pops! Add sprinkles or jimmies while the chocolate is still wet. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, let the chocolate coating harden first, then drizzle more chocolate on top.
It’s all about the frosting! When you mix the frosting in with the cake, the mixture should hold together when squeezed. If the mixture is crumbly, that means it needs more frosting. Make sure to only add in a little at a time so that the cake doesn’t get too soggy. If you have a very moist cake, you may not need much frosting at all.
Strawberry Cake Pops
If the chocolate coating has cracked, it’s likely due to the difference in temperature between the cake balls and the melted coating chocolate. Don’t freeze the balls for longer than instructed, or else the super cold cake combined with the warm melted chocolate could cause cracking.
The type of chocolate you use can also contribute to whether or not the cake pops crack. Using melted chocolate chips may cause cracking, so I’d suggest using chocolate melting wafers instead. They have a thicker texture once hardened and a smooth finish, which result in a more sturdy exterior.
Sure! While I prefer homemade frosting over canned, I’ve never been one to shy away from an easier shortcut! Store-bought frosting usually comes in a 16 ounce
