I don’t know about you, but my kids are literally obsessed with cake pops. Luckily, they’re easy enough to make at home so I can make a batch and keep them in the freezer for whenever.

Actually, I’ll do it for you because I want to prove a point. 60 cake pops would be $90 before taxes. I just saved you a bunch of money by switching to homemade.

Cake pops can sound intimidating and even really hard to do. But in reality, they’re not difficult. A little time consuming but definitely do-able. It’s even something the kids would like to help with, especially the crumbling and mix part.

Cake pops can sometimes be tricky to get right. The chocolate could crack during the cooling process and sometimes they can spring a leak and cake will seep out the bottom. Follow my easy tips below to help make your cake pop making process go smoothly!

During the chilling process, the cake balls will shrink a bit but when they come to room temperature after they’re dipped in chocolate, they will expand. That expansion can cause the chocolate to crack.

To prevent the cracking, make sure your cake balls aren’t too cold when you dip them. Let the few cake pops you’re working with come to room temperature for about 20 minutes before dipping.

Work with smaller batches of cake balls at a time, leaving the rest in the refrigerator. I work with about 8-12 cake pops at a time.

You also want to make sure your chocolate isn’t too hot. If you’re melting it in the microwave, it can get a bit too hot. Let it cool to room temperature for a few minutes before starting your dipping process.

You may have made cake pops before only to have some of the cake pop start leaking out the bottom. The reason why this happens is because there’s a hole in the chocolate. As the cake expands, it will start oozing out that hole.

You also want to make sure there aren’t any air bubbles visible on your cake pop. If there are, us a toothpick to pop them and smooth out the chocolate. Do this quickly before the chocolate starts to harden!

Cake pops do not need to be stored in the refrigerator and can be stored at room temperature for a couple days before serving. Make sure your cake pops are covered completely or wrapped individually when storing them.

You can also store your cake pops in the refrigerator. Condensation will form on the chocolate if they are stored in the refrigerator without being covered. You can place a paper towel under and over the cake pops to help absorb the condensation. Bring them to room temperature before serving them.

Some sources say that you shouldn’t freeze cake pops once they’re coated in chocolate. I disagree with that. I freeze my cake pops and defrost them at room temperature without an issue. It’s the best way to store them long term (1-3 months).
